This week I wanted to talk about my latest drawing, the inspiration behind ‘Born of the stars’ (A4 paper, graphite and acrylic). ‘Born of the stars’ 2020 Graphit and acrylic on A4 paper As regular readers and instagram followers (@oneseeingghost) will know, I became a mum for the first time last August. My beautiful daughter, Rose, is now 8 months old, and is changing every day. This drawing has come from a transition into becoming a mother, with a new understanding of what I

So a few days ago, I sat with my pen and post it notes and decided to write a couple topics for some blogs posts so I could be prepared and start thinking about what to write about this week.

Rose quartz is well known for being a ‘love’ stone, for bri

I’ve found it tricky to get back into drawing – a combination of inspiration block (due to the whirlwind of life taking over) or not having enough time with being a first time mum to a nearly 6 month old baby. Throw in my enthusiasm to do a million projects (because now when time is limited I am full of ideas and decide that I have to give them all a go, such as hand embroidering a christmas stocking for my daughter, writing and illustrating a keep sake story book for her asw

Hello everyone! So it has been a lot longer then I had anticipated since my first (and last) post. I had hoped to make blogging a weekly practice. I do understand it is a learning curve, and over the past week and half (maybe nearly two weeks) I have felt very ill and needed to have a break, from everything.
