Crochet ~ Rainy Day Rabbits

The new issue of Simply Crochet (issue 29) comes with a free booklet and it's one of my designs, well, a pair of designs! Two cute rainy day rabbits complete with rainy day attire including a cherry blossom leaf hat. They look so cute, I'm always happy with how my designs get photographed by the magazine. This booklet even has a few of my own photos in there!



If you make the rabbits then be sure to let me know. You can tag me on instagram or twitter (@vongarratt) or comment here or send me an email. I'd love to see them!

What My Phone Saw ~ February

Accidental matching // Censoring myself with myself



Murmuration in the city // Thank you



My favourite fuzzball // Lunch



The fact the tentacles stand up on their own is creepy // Typewriters are my friend

Illustration ~ You're Not In Kansas Anymore

I watched The Wizard of Oz for the first time (I know!) at the weekend and was doodling Dorothy in my sketchbook and then Frank N Furter turned up.
I'm more proud of this than I probably should be, it just makes me laugh so much. Which is important, I think.

Zine ~ This Zine Has No Name Feb '15

I spent yesterday putting together a new zine which is something I want to do a lot more of. I'm actually planning to make a new zine every month. Not the same every time, I want a good mix of zine types and to just make them often. I've seen a few ways of folding paper to make zines that I want to try and I'll probably do more like this one that's a mish mash of recent drawings and photos but also some with a particular theme. Anything that pushes me to create more. I'd also like to be brave enough one day to commandeer the photocopier in the library and make some sort of A3 double sided foldey thing. But our library is the busiest in the country (I'm pretty sure) and the photocopier is also the printer for all the computers, so we'll see.



If you'd like a copy it's listed here: etsy // folksy

Sketchbook ~ Eyes, Kawaii, Derp

I've been to the doctor now so they aren't so bad but this was a pretty authentic image of me and my eyes. Except it was worse.



I saw this girl waiting for her boyfriend and liked the mix of super kawaii pastels with sensible coat and uggs. The weather was awful that day.



When in doubt draw from the 'derp' tag on instagram (then get sad from all the pretty people thinking a perfectly fine photo isn't good enough and tagging it derp).

 

 Practise, practise, practise.
