Clocks, the passing of time.

It was my birthday about three weeks ago and as well as having a lovely day (despite the fact I had to go to work), I also got some lovely things! My boyfriend screenprinted one of my drawings for me and put it in a frame, which is rather exciting as I've never had any of my stuff screenprinted before. Maybe one day I will learn how the process works, until then I will simply admire how good it looks at the end.



I also received this really nice clock from my friend Saz, which inspired the felt clock above it.



Alas, after taking these photos my camera refused to work any longer. Technology, hey.

manynicethings on a journey

The lovely twoducksdisco recently headed off to Flatstock, a yearly poster art/musical festival based in Hamburg. Alas, I remained in the UK slaving away at my 9-5 job (and finding time to attend a beer festival) but luckily some of my felted friends made the trip, all of them finding new homes in the process.



HALLO!

Owl with moustache

I customised my owl brooch design for my old housemate! I forgot to take a picture before I sent it, so here is the picture she posted on her Twitter

Tree People

Hello there! Here is a little one-off illustration I did for Belfast band Not Squares, which will be inside one copy of their debut single, 'Aye Yo Pa'. Exciting times!



In other news, I am currently loving the track "Hands Swollen With Grace" by the Dakota Suite and I am also getting very excited for Fell Foot Sound this coming weekend.

old old fashioned

Apologies for the lack of updates of late...I got a job (albeit a temporary one) and have been generally fairly busy, so unfortunately haven't found much time for making stuff.

I thought I would do a wee update saying hello and the like, but I am a bit behind on sleep and now I am here I can't think of much to say, which is going to make for some interesting reading....or not.

Today I interupted some snacking pigeons, then I filled in an application for a job completely out of my league. The two events are connected somehow, I am quite sure, and when I fail to get the job which is way out of my league it will all be the snacking pigeons fault, obviously.

I can't stop listening to "The Midnight Organ Fight" by Frightened Rabbit. It's one of the best new albums I've heard is absolutely ages. Here they are with some cool-looking dudes:

Russian Doll with Moustache

I made a couple of these a while back. One I lost somewhere on the streets of Leeds - if you found it, lucky you - the other I have just listed on etsy! He's really tiny but I like him:
