I have a blog post of Handmade Gift For My Bestest Friend , a snowy owl painted onto the glass frame. Now there's one onto black card, looks more contrast altogether. You can have whichever size you want of the frame, either same size as this illustration print or slightly bigger to create border.

Poem Moving Images Project - Crossing The Water by Sylvia Plath (with audio) from Laura Mallaghan on Vimeo .

New items in my etsy shop. It's three square canvases painted in acrylic with beads. I have painted this many years ago, as i used it for my bedroom wall decoration, as i got older i have changed my bedroom colour (as more mature colour), i took these down. I had to redesign these canvas to be more unique, bling and out of surface.  From these plain flat painted canvases to bling beaded canvases.

I have added four new items in my Etsy shop. A quite bigger miniature sculpture glass jar, two illustration prints and a bead art.

I had the pre-drawn kingfisher onto cotton, i thought of the beads i had been kept for so many year and could redesign the kingfisher. This is the result of kingfisher bead art, looks better in frame. I will get the photographs first for my Etsy shop, you will see what it will look like in frame.

I got new items added into my Etsy shop, they're cute little sculpture glass jar! The wild rabbit, blue tit and robin. Two are the terrarium and one without, i have made them for the little pop up shop from Degree show back in summer, so far i have sold one. They'll looks so cute on your shelf or bookcase or wherever you want!   Wild rabbit :  https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/251571056/miniature-sculpture-terrarium-glass-jar Blue tit :  https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/251465757/miniature-sculpture-terrarium-glass-jar Robin :  https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/251568274/miniature-sculpture-glass-jar-flying

I opened Etsy shop to sell my handmades and illustrations. I'm actually nervous about this little shop, i did some research on how to get good photos on my items, to send them to the customers, to pack it, to promote my items, and so on. My style is British nature and wildlife, because it's my specialist of illustration. Go and have a look in this link! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LauraMNatureArt

I have graduated yesterday! I did it! Bachelor of Arts Honour in Illustration with 2:1! Three years of hard work in university, now i've got a degree! Yay.

The ceremony was in the morning and it was about an hour long. Getting ready in the morning in my bedroom, hopped into my mum's car and drove to Park Campus, fetched my gown and a hat.

Photos done, hopped into the shuttle bus, drove to Royal & Derngate where the graduation ceremony hold.
