Lunar Day 3... I Told You So!
So, the thing is, I really wasn't planing on drawing this! But since when did plans come into the faerie equation eh?
I started out sketching Gordon watching the 'The Bear Family and Me' however I was watching the Bears and the lights were all ambient and dim, so... that went out the window, I did a quick simple sketch of Hope (a beautiful, feisty bear cub), which I will put up here, but Star is sitting on it at the moment and she looks very comfy, plus it's too small to count as my picture a day.
I tried a more detail picture, but I was getting grumpy, and I knew it was a bit late in the day for an epic bear picture (which is a shame, one day soon there will be an epic bear picture!)...
So I was about to lose my grumpy rag, and as I was doodling, She appeared on the page with these words on her lips 'I told you so!'...
And so she came to life on my page (with no help from me I hope you understand...) and she certainly is... well she certainly is her faerie self! Her name is Callista, with something debonair as a surname which didn't exactly roll off the tongue...
I will be making a painting of her.. I doubt whether I'll have much choice in that one...

Lunar Day 1: New Moon Kitties
Well this is obviously a very serious piece of art to get me started... :)
The Lunar Cycle Drawing Blog!
Hapy New Year, I wish you all the best in 2011. I have the feeling this year is going to be one like no other with adventures, excitement and changes in abundance!
Today being the first new moon of the new year, I thought it would be a perfect time to set a new challenge for myself! Today is not only host to the new moon in Capricorn, we also had a partial solar eclipse this morning, making today all in all a magical day.
So, New Year New Moon, New Challenge - I shall be doing a picture a day, hopefully purely for this blog for the period from new moon to dark moon (who needs that Roman calender anyhow?!)
It all starts today with the new moon and ends on the dark moon on the 2nd February.
The idea of a drawing a day helps me to push my creativity, keeping things fluid and fresh as well as making me do something new and different each day, no matter what else is going on.
Each piece most likely wont be a finished, perfect piece of work, but hopefully something interesting will come out of it!
My boyfriend Gordon, is also a very talented photographer and film maker, and he is going to be doing a photo a day blog which you can check out here:

Thanks for looking at my blog and come back again soon :) x
