Spring Photography

Spring, my favourite time of year. The wood in which i live, is carpeted with wild bluebells, so beautiful! And I luckily photographed them just before they started to go over... I used my dad's Nikon D300 with a 50mm lens. I've never used it properly before, so I'm really happy with the results! 

To see more of my photography, visit my website >here<

Floral Teapot

Introducing my latest item in my Etsy shop...

Floral Painted Teapot

It does sometimes get a bit boring painting on a square canvas, so when I came across these teapot shapes I got very excited! You can find this in my Etsy shop HERE, at the very reasonable prize of £12.00, as this is an original Flora Fricker ;) I also have a Floral cake under way at the minute so watch this space... 

Please tell me what you think, your comments mean a lot :)

Summer Tea Party

My very yummy lunch - Vegetarian Mezze board - cooked by Harry

Herewith a few pictures of my weekend away in Cornwall with my family. We went to visit my Brother Harry's new café (soon to be restaurant)  that he's setting up with my Aunty and Uncle down on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, called Barefoot Café. Next to the Café they have a little shop selling everything you need for a Cornish lifestyle, from blankets and throws, teapots, aprons, jewellery, and hot chocolate sticks. Harry made us a mezze board of lots of different delicious foods, which we enjoyed very much!

Did you have a good weekend?

Picture of the week: Chilling in a Hammock

I have to admit, I'm feeling a tiny bit nervous for my prom tomorrow. So, for this weeks Picture of the week I've chosen an extra calming image. I would love a hammock in my garden, but I would be afraid of not ever being able to come out out of it again! What are your thoughts to this picture?

I love to ride my Bicycle

Today I went on a lovely bike ride with my friends to a place called Crow Point on the estuary. It was really nice to go, and going on lots of bike rides is on my summer bucket list! However, I realised that I am in desperate need of a new bike. Mine is very old, (but not in a good vintage way) and rusty. So I've put together some images of bicycles that I am dreaming about and also its my birthday in August, so maybe my parents will get the hint! :)

1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6

For more images of bicycles please have a look at my Pinterest

A Splash of Colour!

I'm so sorry for my absence, my coputer crashed and has been in the computer hospital for the last couple of days :( But I've been lent this very slow but workable laptop for the time being! Its been really strange not being able to have access to the internet, what did anyone do before computers???

I absolutly LOVE colour, and I love everything in this photograph; the painting in the background lends it self very well to the beautiful vibrant flowers in the foreground, it looks all so lovely!

Handmade Stargazer Lily

Tomorrow all my Art coursework has to be handed in, so this weekend I've been VERY busy perfecting my book. I also made this Stargazer Lily for my portfolio. The petals are made from powder pink glazed cotton, with glass beads sewn on. For the stamens I also used glass beads on wire. I love pink and green together, the two seem to set one another off. I hope you like it, its the first one I've ever made!

My Sheep

This is my lovely sheep Barbie! I was lucky enough to win a competition at school to paint my own original design onto her. She is going to be displayed in the grounds of Exeter Cathedral with hundreds of other sheep across Devon. I have become very attached to her, and don’t really want to give her away but I must. It took me the whole of Christmas holidays to paint her, hence why I haven’t blogged. So, I hope you like her, and I would LOVE to paint lots of different animals in the future.

My first post!

My first post! I've been wanting to make myself a blog in SUCH a long time and have finally had the time to do it.

I hope you like this painting its one of my favourites, i painted it for my best friends birthday, its a mixed media painting of flowers, i created this effect with acrylic and tulip pens and tonnes of glitter!
