Tina Fey strikes again

 
 
 
New prints!

Productive girls celebrate your organisational skills. Procrastinating girls get some encouragement in your life. Tina Fey is so right sometimes.
Measuring 5.5" by 6", this sugary sweet square illustration is printed on smooth white card and hand signed.
 
Available to buy here.

Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again.

Hand embroidered quote, using own handwriting, on small vintage cotton coaster.
I use Instagram a lot (@leighjennings) and no sooner had this photo been posted, it was on its way to a new owner.
The lovely quote is from an Irish poem that I think was actually used on a Guiness advert!

like a dog with two hearts






































"I just can't make it through the day without thinking of you..."
Pups are always the most excited to see you, whether you've just gone to the bathroom or got back from a round-the-world trip, their tails are wagging and they make you feel like they've just not functioned with you gone.
A partner to the homebody cat illustration, this pup is feeling the love too.
Watercolour and pencil. A bit scruffy, but I think that's ok.
Available in the Etsy shop soon.

forever


 
  

'Baby you da bestest'
3x3" hand drawn mini card.
Available here.

A great way to say thank you when your friend takes you on a late night burger run.
A great way to share the love and tell that special someone they're your number 1.
Or just a different way to say hello.
Either way, who said size matters?

don't bring us the figgy pudding.




I hate Christmas cake.
A mini Christmas card or gift tag.

I find cats can be a little sneaky at times.
They're also renowned for picking and choosing their owners, skipping off to wherever the good tuna lays.
That's why this cat means it all the more.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
An A5 postcard sized print, from original watercolour, available soon.



to take the blues away,




'With deepest sympathy' card.
Hand drawn with red ink.

A little card made with a lot of love to show someone you're thinking about them.

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

Pencil scribble with a few blobs of watercolour.
I'll neaten this up somehow then work back into it with some embroidery.

Inspiration Sunday - Lauren Hom

A series of Daily Dishonesties and little white lies, that started out as a personal project, have been beautified with hand drawn lettering. Originally a typography project during college, Lauren Hom now sells these painfully honest, very true everyday thoughts and sayings, as posters, prints, tee shirts and goodies. You can purchase them via her blog and the cracking site Society 6. I encourage you, encourage you strongly, to visit Laurens blog because there's the best, most effective step by step guide to Photoshop and typography. So easy in fact, I wonder if my tiny brain might handle it.
There's at least 20 dishonesties I've found myself saying or thinking.









 
Good, huh?

commemorative


 
I've accidentally started a collection.
I've accidentally drawn badly.

A selection of teapots and coffee pots, drawn badly (I often can't sing along to my favourite songs while scribbling) with a 2B pencil on rubbish thin paper.

However, I accidentally really like this.

Found





An unknown person, a found disposable camera shot.
I have a bag full of film, undeveloped cameras and odd photographs.
Perhaps I'll work back into them with white pens and embroidery.
