Created using both Illustrator and Photoshop, bought resources and my own illustrations and photography. 

I can never decide if I like the woods better or the sea, so here's a mix of both in on of my favourite colour combos. :D And, don't forget the cool raven. :D 

More to come... So watch this space.

Available as prints, phone and tablet cases, mugs and travel mugs, wall hangings and shower curtains, cushions and various bags and pouches, duvet covers and stationary cards. Oh and mouse mats. :D Have a ball. Have a set. :D

There is something special about places where two elements or two opposites meet. They are a places where anything can happen, where anything is possible, they are magic and romantic, they may even transform us. I've always had a thing for mermaids. Maybe one day I will become a mermaid.

The world has many edges

I love the quote by Anderson Cooper: "The farther you go, however, the harder it is to return. The world has many edges, and it's easy to fall off."

I only used the last bit of the quote as it was the part that mattered the most to me. It's not easy sometimes to make your way through life and sometimes it's good to remember that it is not always your fault if you fall off. However, it is up to you to get back on...

The photo was taken last week. I used a scarf to create the floating effect. The rest was a happy accident.

Caught

A few days ago we had one of the really rare beautifully sunny days this winter. Crisp blue sky and wonderful light. Too good an opportunity to miss, so I cut a tiny heart garland from plain white paper (as you do) and stuck it in the rose bush (and various other vegetation) in my garden. (See below).

Of course I couldn't quite leave it alone, although I loved the photograph before all the edits, I love it even more with them... :-)

This time I hung the garland from the lilac bush. :-)

Waiting for Love

This was an experiment with a heart cut out from some packaging material and a ribbon. I love the magic feel this has. :-) Just right for the first blush of love.

Ever since I created Paper Boats: http://www.redbubble.com/people/magpiemagic/works/8065586-paper-boats I had the origami bug.... so here's another with origami butterflies folded by me with 'proper' origami paper. Butterflies have always been a symbol of hope for me - being able to completely change who you are and become someone new is nothing short of a miracle. :-)
