And now on Instagram...

I already tweet like a little bird on Twitter as @silverblossom8.  Blog here (must blog more often).  Have a page somewhere on Facebook and now I've started to use Instagram, which I'm finding quite fun and easy to use.  As I mainly sell my lovelies via my Etsy online shop it makes sense for me to use social media to let people know what I do, but it's also nice to share other things I find of interest and give people a little glimpse of my world (not including dirty dishes, I don't even want to see those).

So if your on Instagram you can find me here =) https://instagram.com/blossomingsilver/

Enjoy!

Something old......

 I thought I'd share these old pic's of mine, not sure if I have already on this blog, but every now and then I like to go back to drawing, it's something I've always done and well should really spend more time on it!

 I've used flash, photoshop, a photo, good old pencils and gouache paints.  In the above image, the ghostly lady was drawn and coloured in flash and the trees are originally hand drawn using coloured pencils and scanned. I put the two together in photoshop to get this effect. it was a long time ago.

 You may be able to tell from this drawing if you hadn't already guessed that I'm a fan of anime =)  Maybe I should point out that I use a mouse to draw in flash/ illustrator.  When I first started drawing on computers it was pixel by pixel =)

Ok this is just a pencil doddle of mine, I love fantasy art and fiction and you'll see it in my drawings.

Never really finished this, it's another doddle of sorts a kind of practicing piece, maybe I'll get round to practicing again in the future, would be nice.

And here's one of my tattoo designs, that after 16 ish years I had tattooed onto the back of my neck.  Did it hurt....No the guy that did it for me was really gentle, this is a same day picture =)

Crafty Hen Party....

 This was so much fun, family, friends, cup cakes, tea and crafting (we did also bring some wine ;) does it really get much better then that!

For those of you who have read my blog posts or tweets before, you'll know I can't sew, but hey we were making garter belts and I think I've found a new calling!  Ribbon, lace, lots of colours, patterns oh yes I can feel a trip to a haberdashery coming on.  Our tutor was super helpful and lovely and even I left with a lovely completed garter belt of my very own =)

If this sounds like your kind of thing then have a look at the Tea and Crafting website, I highly recommend the experience (much better then watching male, well you know, that's not my cup of tea)!

Coffee Art...

 A thing of beauty is a treasure to behold and these lattes were not only beautiful to behold but smelled and tasted wonderful!  Alas as beautiful as they were I couldn't resist drinking them, so I captured their essence in photo form to share with you (aren't I generous ;)

 The lovely creative peeps @VagabondN4 are responsible for these creations, like sewing (which I'm pants at), I can't do this with coffee, so every cup or glass as in this case, is like a little creative inspiration and the 2 shots of yummy caffeine are also very helpful in keeping the creative juices flowing ;)

Feeling blue...

Yes I know it's been a long time since I've made a treasury to share my lovely etsy finds with you.  The truth is life happens and well mojo is affected, but then it starts to come back in trickles and then starts to flow.  So I hope you'll enjoy taking the time to explore these beautiful finds and the talented people behind them!

Enjoy & share the love =) xx
