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

  6. 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.

  7. 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
