Insta-Art

Hey there people and Happy Wednesday to you, wherever in the world you may be. Today I am excited to share with you another episode of my art series on my little blog - Insta-Art.
I love sharing the process behind my art here on the blog. Seeing works go from a blank page to a finished piece is so much fun! It also might inspire you and your art work too!

I have had this old Byron book lying around for years. I got it from a house clearance shop and I have never really known what to do with the book. I always felt it was important somehow... 

The book has all kinds of post cards and envelopes inside, filled with lovely old handwriting and stamps. It was obviously a well-loved book in it's previous owners' care.

Full of notes on the poems and little age spots that just show how well-loved it really was. I hesitated to use the pages to create art work as I didn't want to vandalise this lovely old book. I realised though that the book was lying unused on a shelf. Better that it should come alive within some new art work instead I think.

The beginnings of my first sketch, made in pens. 

 Time to add some colour with my new pro-markers.

Now it's time to add some stamping!

My desk - in all it's messy glory afterwards! That was all cleaned up straight after this photo I promise!

Here is the art print all finished and listed in my store. TA-DA!

I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into my process.

Have a great day people!
