It has been put together as a Posters, Leaflets and signposts along the Trail. the plan is to visit this year to have a look at the sign posts and to get some exercise too.

Spring Tulips Pattern
- Fairy Pattern Gift Wrap
Since Before Christmas I have really enjoyed having fun exploring Pattern with an e course called ‘The art and Business of surface Pattern design’ taught by Rachael Taylor & Beth Nicholls. I have already completed Module 1 & 2 and for my Birthday Present I’m asking for Money towards Module 3. It’s really given me the opportunity to develop my style with the help and encouragement from new online new virtual friends. I would really like to see my designs on Gift wrap, stationery and Wallpaper for Children’s Rooms. I as I’m designing a lot of Greeting Cards at the moment I’m able to add a new fresh dimension to my illustrations and designs.
Here’s just a little taste of what I have been up to. I would really appreciate your comments and feedback on my Pattern Designs Please?

On Halloween Day I ran a Caricature Workshop at Long Eaton Art Room, Whilst everyone was busy I decided to do one of my self….The idea of the workshop was to draw a Caricature of themselves, someone they knew or a Halloween Character!
For next years Halloween look out for FREE Spooky Characters to download and colour in!!

Caricature of Kate Smith
Unfortunately since Sunday I’ve not been well….. I’ve tried to battle on and succeeded to finish of an important deadline this week!!
Here’s a sketch from out of my Doodle Diary
…I’ve used photoshop to colour it in!
