Guess what Mr Whale had for his last meal.....?

Dad_this_is_the_friend_i_told_you_6

....A long long time ago in a land far far away, lovely Ms Paula send me a sweet mail about how she was after a custom artwork for her soon to be lovely shop!

Well..... it was actually just a month ago, but I'm always inclined for a fairytale opening ehhe.... you know how it is :D Plus!  time runs so frantically irregular in my latest adventures that even a month ago seems like ages.

Anyway......

Lovely Paula from Baby Swan Desing Studio makes the cuddliest vintage-style mohair teddy bears!! Just toooooooo cute! How do i know you ask, since her shop has not opened yet? Well, one of the bonuses of doing custom projects!! :D

Hooray!! for special previews !!!

Can I share them with you ..??? Hmmm let me think...

....NOPE! You'll have to wait to get the first glimpses...all i can say is that they are worth all the waiting :D Her lovely shop will be open in the next couple of months. You might want to fave it now cause you're bound to get a teddy to cuddle :)

There are really few things as enjoyable and gratifying as working on commissioned projects!! And even fewer that are *more* enjoyable!! Like, ....guessing the content of old apothecary jars or playing thumb-wars or painting faces on aubergines, for instance! :D

But anyhow, the fulfilment of bringing your playmate's dreams into reality is indeed priceless!

We worked on it and sweated over it and had long discussions about it and here's the outcome just for you:

Lovely Ms Paula had kindly agreed for me to sell the finished artwork in Hide n Seek, but as i was putting the first pencil strokes on paper, i knew where my whim wanted to take me..... so i let my runaway creativity rest for a while and i focused on the project....

After it's conclusion, i did some drastic changes to it and created my new artwork "Dad, this is the friend i told you about" "...he brought the fish you like..."

I love, love, seriously LOVE whales, especially the antisocial ones!...and believe me,  Mr Whale here is quite the grumpy type. He also happens to be little cute girl's dad... *hungry* dad, might i add!

So let's hope he really likes the fish the little boy brought him..heh hhehehe lol!

xxxxEnjoy sweeties and many hugs to sweet  Paula for the lovely project!!!!!!! xxxx

My one month old "New" artwork

YAY!!! May is here and summer is around the corner!!!!
We might even see some sun here in England for a change..lol:D

So!! Where to start from..?? Hmmmmmm
....let's  see....Have you seen my new artwork???  hmmm....right! n when i say *new*,  i actually mean "almost a month old" new.....
!hah! Time flies SO quickly my lovelies....!
Anyway, i need to present you my -one month old- "new" artwork so that i can then show you my  "really new "new ones!!!
So! so!.. after your extremely positive response to my "Mom, this is the friend i've told you about" artwork, this cuty came:

He_says_he_can_he_hear_the_forest_2

He says he can hear the Forest whisper  -- Print

It's called, "He says he can hear the forest whisper" ..."I can only hear his big heart"
...nnnnn so the story goes.....After a long mushroom-picking forest stroll, the cute ebony hair girl and her friend Mr Bear, take some time to rest before they take the long n extra wavy road back home.
Wouldn't a simpl-er- short-er- n staight-er-- road to home do just fine ...you say? NOPE!! The wav-i-er- the bett-i-er- :D
Can such a small basket of mushrooms fill both a tiny stomach and a huge? .....NOPE!
Will Mr Bear fit through that tiny doorway...?!? NOPE! Unless there is a good dinner  waiting inside for him!
...but only Mom is waiting inside....
"I can hear his BIG growling stomach too....ohh you promised you'll behave Mr. Bear!!"

xxx Sending many many hugs everywhere around sweeties xxx
