Terry Gilliam!





I love Terry Gilliam! In fact, his Monty Python animations have really inspired me to try making my own little animations so to see him tonight at the BAFTAS was AMAZING! I managed to wangle my way onto the red carpet just opposite the entrance and saw quite a lot of famous people. My favourite sightings had to be Terry Gilliam, Andy Serkis, Colin Firth, Kate Winslet and Alfred Molina! Unfortunately due to being extremely over excited, my photos weren't fantastic quality but here are a few of them... :)

Animations...

Trinkets

I have been trying to work out how to make little animations for my blog and have finally managed to post one that is the right size and works as it was intended!!! I will try and make more interesting ones over the next few weeks... I'm quite pleased because my New Years resolution was to work out how to make animated films. I'm a bit closer to achieving that now! :)

A no from Liberty





Just to let people know, after an epic four and a half hours queuing WITHOUT COFFEE(!!!) I got a no from the buyers at Liberty.

I did see Theo Paphitis though! :)

Liberty Designs Revealed!






Tomorrow is the big day so I thought I'd show everyone a few of the items that I am taking to show the panel of buyers at Liberty!

I am quite nervous but I think that as long as I see it as good experience I won't be too disappointed when they say no! If nothing else, this has really given me a goal to focus on and I can now start listing items for sale on etsy and folksy pretty much straightaway.

Now to just attach a few clasps and extension chains with the wire that has thankfully arrived this morning!!! And I might have to decide what to wear...! :)

Valentines Moon Bunnies




Two little loved up bunnies kissing under starlight.

They create a tiny little heart shape between them by meeting nose to nose.

Buy them here at folksy.com!
