This was super to try out using felt tip and water.

I was trying to find a way of doing quick images

and seeing what came out. These two

were my favourite images and I just love the colour

that the felt tips bring to the pictures.

It was like being in a school science lesson again, although

I don’t remember fashion being a part of it … unless you

include the blue eyeliner and twilight teaser lip gloss we

wore! Groan! Heinous fashion errors of the past!

This was a fun invite to do.

The people were wonderfully encouraging and great to work with at the charity.

I loved the bright colours and feeling of celebration and hope my attempt

at graphic design didn’t let me or the painting down.

I did worry about not having 30 candles on the cake but there

is only so many one can pop into a small cupcake!

Small but sweet… my monthly lady drinking her cup of

tea, probably listening to the archers as she ices her beautiful cup cakes;

after a heady morning in the garden collecting lavender and sweetpeas.

*bliss*

Ohh Its out today!

I am very excited and may look at it several times today:)

Now to get on with some other work,  I am struggling with

candle flames and sweet peas today and there is a slight

niggle at the back of my mind that my new inks maybe

leaving a too shiny residue to scan well … Back to the

old watercolours perhaps?

Oh this came in this week I was very excited to be working for ‘Style’

but had to forget about that so I could actually illustrate with a steady hand.

It will be featured in The Style Magazine on September 11th.

Now I need to get back to worrying about college and my starting my second year

of my M.A in children’s illustration and the forth coming trip to Bologna where

I am supposed to have a super duper portfolio to impress and win publishers over

so noooo pressure there then and I will have to restict my Twitter time! @jofernihough

if you want to say hello not that I will be there… much:)

As I venture into twitterland I have been inspired to doodle.

Although my online twittering may surpass my doodling at the moment,

it’s very addictive tweeting.

Please come and find me and tweet at me:)

My super friend Lisa Millard at Cambridge Journal asked if I would like to try

illustrating a 1950’s lady for their article ‘Mrs Souffle’

who creates Pop up Tea Parties, which sound fantastic

and immediately makes me want a cup of tea and a cupcake.

I managed to do this image in three days; I totally struggled with it and my first images were

binned very quickly.

The super team at CJ loved the final image and will be printing it

every month alongside the event. Yay!
