All the designs in her debut book are hand drawn with pen and ink, and are just incredibly beautiful. There's a mixture of themes ranging from florals to nautical, but mostly she prefers animals and nature with a bit of a 70's kick. There are lots of lavishly decorated birds, insects and sea life, grand castles and roiling oceans. With loads of intricacy to get your teeth into and some really unique art, this book is one of a kind. Take a look through this bumper slideshow!
Here's my finished double-page spread, which I completed with lots of mixed media. I used Promarkers, Spectrum Noir markers, Tombows, Staedtler Triplus, and Moonlight Gelly Rolls to get the best out of the image. I coloured the bird completely in black as a silhouette, then used the Gelly's to pick out the detail which I am really pleased with. Ooh- and I used a gold glitter gel for the key :)
