Creative Jumpstart



The obligations of modern life are manifold and often leave us with little real time for ourselves, Five minutes here and twenty minutes there, snatched in between daily obligations and work. Any real 'me time', is as precious as gold dust and when it comes down to it, we’re often out of puff, uninspired, or blocked creatively…

Taking time for ourselves, and tapping into what we really want is an important way of giving ourselves space to breathe, re-boot and energize. This is not only important for our personal well being, but also affects our relationships and every other area of our lives.

Creative Jumpstart is a FREE, 5-day, creative boost, delivered daily to your inbox. Each message contains a mini assignment and each day builds on the one before.

Whatever your artistic experience—whether you’re in need of a creative boost, are just starting out, or a seasoned professional—Creative Jumpstart is for you!



Sign up today and I look forward to seeing you on the course: Creative Jumpstart

Autumn Ink




This month, along with thousands of artists the world over, I’m taking part in the inky drawing challenge of #inktober, over on Instagram.

Shared work is tagged with #inktober or #inktober2017. For those who want it there's an official prompt list for inspiration, but ever the rebel, I’m seeing where each day takes me!

Languid Florals


Languid Florals by Alison Day


Well, week two of the Home Decor course is complete and uploaded. Substrate: fabric, with a theme of florals. I've always wanted a chaise longue and covered with my own fabric design would be fabulous... Oh and that Ottoman will go nicely with it too.

People we Meet


Arial: Water nymph, loves to water ski and eat fish finger sandwiches




Mr Hedge: Retired horticulturist, confirmed bachelor and avid chess player




Waaaa! Baby: Just arrived, noisy, needs changing



Isn't it interesting how diverse the people are we meet during our lives? Some we feel we've met before and others may just have arrived, but everyone has an impact. Some enter and exit again almost immediately, as through a revolving door, whilst others, like scenery, linger a while and populate the backdrop of our lives. Eventually, purpose fulfilled all move on to another place.

Chocolate Bowties




Day 2/100 - Chocolate bowtie pasta, tag: #100daysfoodanddrink
This packet looks so pretty, it seems a shame to open it. As the owner of the shop in Sicily packed it, along with the olive oil from Etna, Limoncello, dark chocolate with orange and sun dried tomatoes into a bag, he suggested a creamy sauce as accompaniment—yum!
