Vintage Jewellery And Zipper Purses!

Hello, and apologies for my lack of post of late.
Very Busy!!

One of the things that has been taking up my time (in a good way) is the Lilla Rogers MATS course.
The last assignment on this course was giftware and to design a zipper purse, make-up bag to some of us, based on personal collections.
I chose my vintage brooch collection, which is full of animals, bows and flowers.
Hyper-lush and symmetrical were two requirements. Perhaps not something I would normal use, but I loved the whole process.
Here's some sketches and the final hand in assignment.

A Good Mix Of Things

Yesterday was a productive day. 

When I stop and think about what I am doing I do feel very fortunate.

My jobs consisted of doing an illustration of an academic who's research area actually hurts my head to think about.

Next a commission of a Jubilee style portrait of a classy canine wearing "a tiara, like Kate Middletons".

And I even got a bit of time to draw this lady below.

Always a lover of things that have a hint of the 80's, I think the grey lines add enough of that to her portrait.

Oh and I listened to a lot of Prince!
