Where I want to go - 2 landscapes

I always have a feeling of wanting to escape to somewhere. A beautiful and interesting land where I can build a home and live freely. I'm not sure how realistic this fantasy is, I don't know where I would go, and I don't really have the means to do so. So instead I illustrate what those strange and wonderful places might look like if I could go there.

Cave home with veggie patch in adventure landscape.

These are largely inspired by my love for the Adventure Time series; a show which perfectly captures that illusive feeling of home, freedom, and adventure.

I want to achieve this feeling for myself one day, a real place where I can feel at home.


These illustrations were made using free software Firealpaca.

Prints are available in A4 & A3, e-mail Jodie at sleepyvoodle@gmail.com to make an order.

In the garden 23/8/18 (Winter)

While it is technically still wintertime, the weather is already starting to warm up, and the daylight hours are increasing, always good. : )
I've been spending more and more time out in the garden, getting lots done, but also trying to remember that we have to move in 6 months time, and not to get myself too invested.
I would like to get a digital journal thing happening so I can look back and see the progress of things growing during our limited time here, I never get tired of seeing the awesome transformation that occurs as plants grow.

 This is the progress of one of the small veggie beds.

Everything in this bed has done really well, we got several good harvests of cos lettuce, some are now starting to bolt, & I will save seed once they're ready. The viola(left) & snapdragon(right) flowers are both doing exceptionally well, my love & appreciation for flowers continues to grow. The herbs are also growing happily, the broad beans are flowering vigorously, and the cabbages are getting closer to harvest time.

Here's a closer shot of my biggest cabbage, what a beautiful thing. <3

Not much to see here, yet, but these are full of seeds starting to germinate, which will be planted out once they are strong seedlings and the weather warms up a little more.
Grow babies~
 
I will post with an update on these once there's a bit more to see. : )

This is the large veggie bed, which took lots of effort to clean up and make progress in. I have done some direct sowing, and also plan to start more in trays to plant into this space, may also grab some more seedlings from BAAG, including more flowers! I'm really excited to follow the progress of this bed as I have a bit more space to work with. Can't wait until I have acres to work with! :0



Spirits and Mortals 2020 - week 3 & 4

I'm still at it!


Week 3 'Pillow fort'
Be careful when messing around with summoning spells, you never know who, or what might show up...


Week 4 'Footprints'
Traversing the rainbow badlands is not a task to be taken lightly, especially whilst tracking a creature that can walk up walls.
