Where I Want to Visit in New York

I am visiting New York next year the one place I have always wanted to visit so I thought I would share with you all the sites I most want to see.

Please Note as I have not been before this will be a very stereotypical list.

Times Square - You can't go to New York and not visit Times Square all those screens and lights it's just so vibrant!

Broadway - We have already booked the tickets to go see this on Broadway and I really can not wait! I'm a massive Disney fan and I love the Theatre so I imagine Broadway will be amazing.

Drawing For Beginners Weeks 5 + 6

Drawing For Beginners - Week 5 - Dead Pheasants and Animal Skulls

This was not my favourite week of Drawing I have to say dead pheasants, ducks and animal skulls not the prettiest of sites!!

I chose to do the pheasants there were two of them tied together but I only got time to draw the one. Learnt a few techniques one how to create the feather pattern by shading in and rubbing out.

Before this we got to draw animal skulls - for some reason I find it very easy to draw bones as with the skeleton in week 2 (here.)

Flamingo Candles: The Melt Crowd- Box Three

A new month equals a new 'Melt Crowd' box from Flamingo Candles *squeels with joy*

This box never gets old previous subscription boxes I have had in the past I just got bored of them, the products, everything!

This one however is the gift that keeps on giving! This is my third month subscribed to the Melt Crowd and this box is the BEST one yet!!

Pandora Christmas Collection

It's November and everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit. This includes Pandora who have just released their Winter/Christmas collection and it is fantastic!!

Below are a few of my favourites (pictures from the Pandora website)

This reindeer is so cute and I will definitely be purchasing it! 

Drawing For Beginners: Week 4 - The Drapes

Week four of Drawing For Beginners- has been the hardest one yet we had to draw drapes/sheets using chalk and charcoal.

We were taught to draw the outline in chalk and use the charcoal to add shading.

Depending on how dark the shadows were we had to layer white chalk and black charcoal to create the varying shadow colours and to give the sheet the texture with all the bends and folds.

Birmingham Trip: Grand Central

The weekend before last I went on a trip up to Birmingham to see the new ironically named Grand Central. (Why would you call it that?)

Name aside I was looking forward to going round all of the shops and having a look around the John Lewis as I had never been in one before. Naturally I took my camera with me and took a few pictures:
