Playing with a new camera, a gift from my parents.
Long, sunlit afternoons, earl grey and cinnamon cookies.
Reading Agatha Christie, daphne Du Maurier, again.
And camera manuals.
Obsessed with florals, dream diaries, paper cut-outs, old dolls clothes, snapdragons and larkspur.
Happy with recently completed commission work.
I am in the mood for darker illustrations, merging beauty and innocence with shadowy apprehensions, like my recent dreams. My dreams which rehash the long distant past: from way above, snapshots of my past scatter about me like Alice's playing cards, sometimes I catch hold of one only to find that it is indistinct, unfathomable.

These photos are so lovely! I'm amazed by how much they feel like your illustrations.

A few things:
Your skin captures light beautifully.
I want that teacup & saucer!
Your furry companion is wonderfully photogenic.
Please consider doing more photography.
