Shameless Self Promotion and Other Adventures

Howdy!!

I'm quite happy to say that lately I've been rather busy being very creative. I've been working on some funky drawings and taking snazzy pictures to send a to a friend who lives in America, I thought it might be fun to share them here too ^_^

Bournemouth Eye, locally famous hot air balloon tourists ride on :)

Giant ice cream cone in Bournemouth Gardens ^_^

River Bourne, the towns namesake :)

Crazy Golf Course.. I'm VERY good at crazy golf :P

These mosaic tiles were designed by various school kids to raise awareness about AIDS

Bournemouth Pier, something like a billion years old ^^

Fabulous merry-go-round on display all year long :)

All the carousel horses have their own names, I love them ^_^

More of Bournemouth Gardens :)

Avery :) all these exotic birds are paid for by donations from the public :)

Canadian Geese at Poole Parkm first time I'd ever seen them ^_^

Groovy Freaky Duck!!

Cool statue man

Me and my friend showing off in front of cool statue man :)

Boats at Poole Harbour :D

I've done one drawing already inspired by own little tourist adventure :) I'm working on more, it's pretty cool to get out and about and properly take in where you live sometimes, it's definitely going to be helping me make some new art ^_^

Tomorrow I'm off to a new gallery opening hoping to soak up some more culture and influence, I really need to get my hands on a bloody scanner so I can update my drawings as I do them instead of having to do it in bulk at the library >< *needs to win the lottery*

I've also finally started to update my Zazzle shop!! feel free to pay it a visit for any merch you might need with a Psyko twist :D I'm willing to take commissions and ideas so feel free to suggest anything!! :)

You can find me here: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/psykodaizie*

That's all from me at the mo, I'm off to make a cuppa tea and start on a new drawing :)

Tata!!!

Raggedy Stuie and Birthday Shenanigans

Hallo!! ^_^

Been a while since my last blog update because I deliberately waited until my brother Stu's birthday was all over with :) He turned 22 yesterday and to comemmorate it we had a 3 part celebration including a visit to the Circus of Horrors :D unfortunately no flash photography was allowed so I can't share them but I urge you all to see it if it's ever at your town, it's brilliant!

Anyhoo I decided a Circus of Horrors ticket wasn't enough so I made him a rag dolly version of himself too and called him Raggedy Stuie ^_^

Here he is:

 

Needless to say he was pretty happy with him ^_^

He's also a mahoosive Hello Kitty fan....

Hello Kitty Clock ^_^

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake!! ^_^

Hello Kitty Cupcakes! ^_^

(Part of) His Hello Kitty collection :)

Later on he decided to chill and watch some telly with his new friend ^^

And later Raggedy Stuie got hungry...

I was really glad he liked him so much, so far I've got nothing but rave reviews on him ^_^ he's completely hand stitched and it's made me wana make more and more until my fingers fall off :D So watch this space for lots more rag dollies and quirky toys :)

*Rummages through fabric stores and bargain bins for groovy material and buttons and things*

Until next time pretty people ^_^ 

~*~*Betty Boop*~*~

Good morning!!

I am up early today as I've managed to turn my sleeping pattern upside down lollers ^^ I've been relatively creative this week and have quite a few projects in line :D

Writing an email to my friend Steph earlier (http://dollydollydaydreams.blogspot.com) I mentioned my enormous Betty Boop collection so I decided to share it :)

Enjoy ^_^

My main collection includes a hench Betty Boop towel, 2 Betty Boop tshirts, 2 Betty Boop keyrings, a Betty Boop mug, a Betty Boop lighter, 3 pairs of Betty Boop socks, 2 pairs of Betty Boop undies, a Betty Boop umbrolly, a Betty Boop coaster, a Betty Boop money box, a Betty Boop glasses case, and a Betty Boop statue ^_^ Most of them have been Christmas and birthday presents from my mum and sister :)

Apologies for showing off my undies so early in the morning :p but it's Betty Boop so it's allowed ^_^

I'm off to sort things out, start new projects and watch Judge Judy for the rest of the day :D

Ta for now x

My Denim Jacket

For those of you who don't know... I love to customize clothes and decorate things!! the best example of this is my denim jacket which I've had for I think 7 years now ^_^ I've been adding to it ever since then, I think it's full of enough stuff now for me to show off :)

I'll be adding more to it as my life unfolds but for now this is what it looks like :

 

It includes the likes of Betty Boop, Hello Kitty, Emily Strange, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Bod, Gay Pride (I'm not gay but I support gay rights :D) keys, padlocks, an old charm bracelet donated by my awesome mumsie, and other miscellaneous trinkets ^_^

I'm desperate to add more to it on the back ^_^ I like to collect badges and patches from festivals and markets but I also add miscellaneous obects to it like keys and beads ^_^ If anyone finds anything they think would look awesome on it be sure to let me know so I can get my mits on it :D

Adios

My New Bedroom

First Blog I've written in months!! I'm still trying to work my way around this fiddly site >_<

Anyhoo I've finally pulled myself out of my creative hiatus ^_^ I decided to decorate my room not realising just how many pictures and posters I've been collecting and hoarding for the past few years. I've turned my room into a proper little hippy den so I've decided to share it.

Hope you enjoy :)

A small example of my enormous elephant collection ^_^

My dragon collection ^_^

My ornament alter where I keep my guestbook :)



I'm hoping now that my room reflects my personality it will drive me to draw a lot more, but I'm also interested in getting back to making toys, particularly rag dollies and making cards and pretty things I can swap with people, if you're interested please let me know, I'm dying to get back out there :D
