In the meantime, come visit me on Instagram!

It’s my last Christmas market of the year this Saturday! I’ll be with @shpkqueenofhearts Peppernint Stix market at the Agora in Sherwood Park, 10-4 pm with my full pop up. 

I’m taking it easy, market-wise, in the new year, so this
You know what I’ll be doing this weekend! Drawing and chatting with lovely people, and hopefully helping with their Christmas lists too! Come find me at @yegxmasmarket at Fort Edmonton — I’ll be there all weekend long, and then next
I’ve been looking forward to this next market ever since this summer! The Edmonton Christmas Market at Fort Edmonton is a stellar event running throughout December, and it’s so much more than a market. It celebrates the winter season and
Still obsessing over patterns. This was a treat and a challenge to figure out how the piece I drew at the market the other day could be turned into a pattern repeat. Once again, my instincts were for lots of colour, which I kept stripping away, one e
I have got to stop staying up until 3 am noodling away on patterns! 

I like the tweaked colours on this one, and I can imagine it on a label for a candle, maybe, or as wrapping paper. Some gold embossed printing would be a lovely accompaniment to it

As always, I draw when I’m at markets, and this time, I tried a new compo
Another attempt at a seamless pattern, and this one was a journey! Follow along!

The last photo is what I actually started with — one of my usual designs, drawn free-hand on paper. I pulled it into Procreate, and created a seamless tile of it,
This unassuming field of flowers represents a giant piece of learning for me. It’s my first seamless repeating pattern! I drew it first on paper, then imported it into Procreate. With new-to-me technical wizardry, I was able to create repeatabl
This one served up surprises through the whole process! Shapes came out of my pen I didn’t expect, and the colour palette went in entirely different directions than I planned. Even though I’m the artist, I’m the happiest when the pi
Want to see the difference a little shading makes? Swipe to see how it looked before the final shading! It’s pretty subtle, but it pulls the focal point into the foreground and gives so much more depth and dimension to this piece! I love the fi
As predicted, I broke this piece when I added the pinks, and I didn’t put it back together until my very last step, which is the final shading. In fact, I was disappointed through the whole latter half of the process, and when I finished adding
