These flowers are taking over my garden, not sure what their called but they are brilliant at self seeding - everywhere! - and I love their persistence and adaptability #flowers #flowerstagram #100daysproject #the100dayproject #100dayproject2020 #the100dayproject2020 #garden #wildgarden #gardening #theydrawandgarden #nature #scottishgarden #scottishgardens #flower #botanicalart #botanicalillustration #botanicaldrawing #ink #penandink #penandinkdrawing #creativelife #creativehappylife #outdoorliving #outdoors #outsidetime #plantbased #plantillustration

A beautiful day here, perfect weather for ice-cream. Looking forward to when we can head out to North Berwick for my favourite cherry ice-cream at @alandasgelato #postlockdowngoals 🍦💛👍#icecream #mrwhippy #seaside #teatowels #teatowel #teatowelart #teatoweldesign #ilovemrwhippy

One of the things that has kept me going during lockdown is our regular walks down by the local river, it’s been great during these tough times. We’re so lucky to have all manner of local wildlife (still hoping to spot the otters) but the swans can always be relied upon #nature #riverlife #eastlothian #scottishwildlife #swan #bird #birdsofinstagram #birds #swans #swansofinstagram #waterfowl #illustration #birdillustration #swanillustration #creativelife #outdoors #outdoorlife #lockdown #lockdownlife #lockdowndays #eastlothianlife

Wanted to do some bright and jolly colours for my paisley puzzle assignment for @makeartthatsells #matsbootcamp2020 #matsbootcamp #makeartthatsellsbootcamp #makeartthatsellsbootcamp2020 #paisley #paisleyprint #paisleypattern #patternobserver #patterndesigner #surfacedesign #surfacedesign #patternmaking #patternoftheday #creativeprocess #colour #jolly #jollycolors #jollycolours #edinburghcreatives #scottishdesign

I used to wear paisley as a cider and black drinking mini goth back in the day but it’s not a pattern design I’ve ever really considered doing. So this has been a fun challenge to create my own paisley pattern, still a work in progress and wanting to add some colour next. Work in progress for #makeartthatsells May Bootcamp assignment. #paisley #paisleyprint #paisleypattern #textiledesign #pattern #surface pattern #matsbootcamp #wip #matsbootcamp2020 #makeartthatsellsbootcamp #makeartthatsellsbootcamp2020 #textiledesign #design #creativeprocess #designprocess #workinprogress #creativity #process #floral #floralpattern #floraldesign

New lockdown hair do - haven’t done a home dye since the 90’s when I dyed it a nasty shade of khaki but desperate times demand desperate measures!!! Lots of fun doing it with my lovely girl but blimey do I miss @tammymwn 👍 #meettheartist #lockdownhairdo #desperatetimes
