Poodle Doodle 2 = A Love For Oddities. x

Hello there,

I've been thinking about why I've always ( as stated in previous posts ) had an obsession with ceramic animals, kitsch ornaments and oddities.

I am a sucker for a broken ornament, or anything that might look a bit weird and not quite right.

Drawing these ceramic finds is something I keep going back to. I think the attraction is the character that is already present on their faces, stances and often scenarios that they are in.

This and my love for vintage scarves and pattern never fails to provide me inspiration.

I'm fully aware where this comes from, my wonderful Nan, who sadly is no longer with us, but has left me with a passion for things that has sculpted my creativity and enriched me greatly.

Her home was a treasure trove of objects, broken at times and rather dusty, but always bright, silly and full of character. This combined with clashing patterns and textures has led to my appreciation of things that do not tale themselves to seriously.

Thanks Nanna Alice. You were a ray of sunshine x x 

Ceramic Lovers 2

Not that long ago two of my ceramic ornaments fell in love.
We were not sure if there was a love triangle going on, it's still unknown.

These two though, are totally head over heels. I can confirm there is no third party : )
Nothing nicer than meeting somebody and getting 'that' feeling.
She's a little ditzy, he pretends to be tougher than he is.

Pleased that they have brought some sunshine and colour with them.
We all need it, when the nights draw in.

Have a fabulous evening, whatever you're up to.

Ceramic Dogs = Nice things to draw

Last week, was busy but good, topped off with a lovely relaxing weekend.
I managed to squeeze in a bit of drawing.
Ceramic dogs never fail to get me in the mood for sketching.
That and a bit of doodling, and I'm pretty happy.

So here is a ceramic dog, wistfully thinking about flea market goodies : )

If yo haven't got time to go to a flea market, you can't go far wrong by taking a look at Growler London's website.
Very nice indeed x x

When ceramic dogs fall in love x

I think a few of my ornaments have fallen in love.
There might be a love triangle going on, as yet we're not sure ; )

Have a fabulous weekend whatever you're up to.
