Cloud watching part 2

This was actually based on a cloud as well, but I did this today from one of the really really quick skteches I did from the day of watching clouds, this is more of the one I've spent time on. (Again this is probably in my sub conscious because I think it was last year I had monkey portrait calender, one of them is now stuck on my wall foreveeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr haha)    So I present Ambrose the cycling gorilla!  

Cloud watching

This is actually a result of cloud watching and probably my obbession of visiting dinosaur skeletons in the natural history musuem in London, nearly every time when I went when I was younger.

Last week when we had some okay weather in England ( yes I know its rare even August, the summer's not normally this bad haha)
I actually went outside and took my sketchbook to do the "childish" thing and imagine what the clouds really were. This is the result of that, its a little strange but I like it, sometimes it nice to look at the bones and structure underneath rather than what sits on top. :D

Homemade Gifts

 This is a purse I made for my friend's birthday, with any luck she won't look at this blog this week or at least until she gets it. It's the first item I've sewn properly from a pattern that I made from card. My sewing skills aren't quite up to scratch as I like, but nevertheless I'm proud of it and it seems like a nicer gift to give rather than going and buying something for them.

Messing around

A little messing around in illustrator from last night, trying to practice the bezier curve, although I don't think I've even used it in these. I shall post the inspiration on my tumblr and inspire galore. 
Just a little bit of fun, and I can stick them into my little note book as I'm starting to take notes again, hooray easing back into studying, never a joyous task to do haha.  http://littlemonsterslaugh.tumblr.com/
