It's Nice That Blog feature on the Floating Cinema
I was pleasantly surprised to see this blog post on the "It's Nice That" online magazine website and blog today.
Thursday
Oranges & Lemons
After holding a stall at Fifi's market on Sunday, I uploaded some of my new stock onto my Etsy shop. The apron above is celebrating the old English nursery rhyme and singing game "Oranges & Lemons" which refers to the bells of several churches, all within or close to the City of London.
Wednesday
Went to the pop up Festival of Stories in Coram Fields, London at the weekend. It was great! Lots of children's book characters and illustrators signing books. There were the creators of Rastamouse, Genevieve Webster and Michael De Souza singing 'nuff' tunes, Axel Scheffler, illustrator of the Gruffalo and I HAD to hang around for a cinnamon biscuit at a Moomin Tea party -I love Tove Jansson's magical characters! Ok, so I was the only adult there who didn't work at the event or had kids, but it was a great afternoon which confirmed to me how important illustration is in the world of children's books. It also reminded me that reading children's books when I was young was the start of my interest in illustration as a career.

Jillty drawings stall
Just had a stall at the Soho Festival. Trade was a bit slow but it was a day full of entertainment from Raffle prizes and Pimms to Drag Queens and Adam Ant.
Monday
Floating Cinema Launched!
The event of Friday went really well and I was so surprised at the turn out. The boat looked amazing and it was really exciting to see the puff pattern and the boat name in the flesh. The cinema is free and open throughout the summer. For more info click here

Cougar On Tube
I caught this specimen stalking a carriage on the district line, caked in warpaint. Amazing!
