Spring Cleaning

Not my house no, though that does actually need one.

 ...but the blog!

 I asked my daughter to draw the ladies for an egg box label, (she's off to Uni to study Illustration, owns has a drawing tablet and lots of exotic drawing programmes. I'm still a pencil & paper kinda gal).  

 We chose Ruby, Peggy & Annie as we decided their colours would look the most striking together, rather than cram all six of them on.  Annie's markings caused her all sorts of problems, I decided not to ask what draft this finally was...

 I liked it so much I thought I'd put it on the blog but it didn't quite go with the wood effect.  I thought it didn't go with quite a lot of the themes I tried.  Many theme variations later, I went with white.

 It looks a bit stark, I'm not decided, you might see it change until I finally make up my mind.

 I love the picture though <3

    I admit, I was a bit turned around... _am I in the right place?_
    It's bright and fresh, like a bit of spring cleaning!
    I was playing with my blog, too... and my daughter's old chicken illustration
    is up. It's fun to move the furniture around, play with new colors.

      I know what you mean, I get hooked on familiarity.

      Thank you, it's certainly fresh! Moving the furniture around gives it that new feel again :D

      I LOVE your daughter's illustration, it's sooo lovely xxx

    Rachy...

    Love your new Blog header and white was the right choice for the background. Your daughter is so talented. I can't believe that is a tablet drawing. WOW.

    xo, Rosemary
