Plait Illustration

Its been a while since  I sat down and put pen to paper.. I mean its been months! I had a day to myself for the first time in a long time and I decided to illustrate plaits (braids for my american readers!). I have been wanting to illustrate a piece like this for a long time so I was really happy with the way it turned out. Especially as I felt a bit rusty!

I am so glad I had a break from illustrating, as I was getting to a point where I didn't feel inspired but I think that has now changed. I have a few more hair inspired pieces to illustrate, so I am sure you will see them some point soon.

I want to start pushing my illustrations a lot more, and what with moving to a new town, which their seems to be quite an underground art scene, I want to try and get involved more! I just need to be brave and have more confidence in what I do, and this might be the start.

Wedding Wednesday: Down Hair Styles

Sources: See my Pinterest

I am still on the hunt to find the hair style I want to have for mine and Alex's wedding. I do feel like I am narrowing down the styles I like though so that's a start. I naturally have wavy hair, so I feel one of the above styles would suit my hair type the most!

The countdown is really on now, it is 4 months and 1 day until the big day! It feels like me and Alex have been waiting forever for this day, that all of a sudden it is creeping up on us! It has now been over two years since we got engaged, which means two years of planning this day! Its crazy to think of the effort and time that goes into planning a wedding! I would never of thought it before!

I am back home in Devon this weekend to pick up my bridesmaids to see if they fit. I can't wait to see them all together! It will make everything start to come together!
