It was beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

These photos were taken out and about whilst I was getting in the festive mood (well, drinking lots of mulled wine and spiced cider!) and getting the decs up at home. LOVE this time of year but can't believe it's basically over already! I'm in denial which is why there will be at least one other Xmassy themed post before this year is out!

I haven't noticed it before but this year they have/had a giant Christmas tree made out of Jack Daniels barrels in Covent Garden so thats what prompted the trip initially and it's always nice to have a mooch around London at the various Christmas displays and lights.











 


We have a black Christmas tree and I LOVE it! It's so versatile and every colour goes with it so well. Plus it really accentuates the colour scheme each year because the lights bounce of the baubles rather than the green of the tree mixed with the other colours adorning the branches. I know a black Christmas tree isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's definitely mine.

Playing with Christmas Food!

Well with Christmas just around the corner I had thought about making my own Christmas cards, both for me to use and possibly to sell. So I got to thinking about what I might like my Christmas cards to be like. Food, obviously! I made tonnes of cookies and then literally platted with my food all night. Don't worry, I had clean hands throughout when handling the food and I wasn't planning on sharing them with anyone anyway.




Hehehe, love this one! Nothing like a proper bit of experimenting! Not sure this would work as a Christmas card but it's certainly interesting.


 

 


Unfortunately I was a bit late thinking about getting these done to sell as Christmas cards but it's a lesson well learnt for next year, I shall buy stock in early. And now I have some ready made designs to play around with so next years job is already half done. So, late this year, super early for next year! Bear me in mind for you cards next year please! :)

Another trip to the Cemetery!

I know this isn't the most Christmassy blogpost given the time of year... But, maybe it is? For some people Christmas is about churches and these were taken in the grounds of the church so that counts, doesn't it?!







This photo is the real reason I went back to the cemetery!

'Windows' - Exhibition Time!



Its that time again! I am taking in part in my third exhibition with La Société de la Petite Voix at Roisin Dubh in Kingsbury.

'Windows' is the name of the game this time round with lots of different takes on this theme so there really is something to appeal to everyone. And once again we have a whole selection of international photographers; Brazilian, Spanish, Anglo-Irish, Polish, English and Indian! We want to raise awareness for local artists and show people that you don't have to be rich to own some amazing work, while at the same time your purchase helps us fund our dreams! And there really is some excellent work for you to lay your hands on at really affordable prices. 

So, most importantly, When!?! From 14th January 2013 19.30. There is a Private View on 15th January and thereafter the exhibition will be open to all during the normal working hours of the venue. The venue is an intimate pub with cheap beer and a great atmosphere. Also located 1 minute walk away from Kingsbury tube station (Jubilee Line).

Please be sure to put it in your diary and show your support for us by sharing the event whichever way you can! Please click here for more info. Hope to see you there!
