Cast of Thousands



After a flower's petals have dropped, the left over seed cases and plant pods, filled with a few or with thousands of seeds, continue to make a garden interesting.

Victorian Tea




Victoria sponge—an inadmissible recipe in cookery lessons from my school days. The cake, also known as Victoria sandwich, was named after Queen Victoria, who was said to be partial to a slice or two with her tea. For the classic recipe: here

Lemon Sicilian





The ceramic pot above was purchased on a spring jaunt to the beautiful island of Sicily, Italy. The ceramic shops of Ortigia in Syracuse, are filled with the bright colours of Majolica, adorning every kind of household object or ornament you can think of. As you can imagine, this makes choosing one piece exceptionally difficult.
The lemon pot, was in a row of pots on top of a wardrobe. Each as different in size and decoration as can be, which meant although my eye was drawn to it, it didn't grab my attention. On the second visit, the pot was brought down for me to take a closer look. I admired the light flowing lines of the painted lemons and leaves, coupled with jade, ultramarine and a rosy glaze—I was sold!

Gushing Eastwick




The sweet tang of eating cherries in the summer is a delight, but I am unable to eat them, without the scene from the film: The Witches of Eastwick, popping into my head—you know the one!

Royal Pea





This could very well be the pea from the fairytale: The Princess and the Pea.
A charming fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen, about how the extreme sensitivity and hence proven royality of a young girl, was proved by the addition of a pea under her mattress.

The Hierophant


Hierophant by Alison Day


Here's my final illustration for the May bootcamp. The main assignment was to illustrate a Tarot card, which was the equivalent of my star sign of Taurus - the Hierophant.

In ancient Greece, the Hierophant was a priest, who passed his time interpreting the ancient mysteries. In Tarot, the appearance of this card has to do with education, beliefs and knowledge.
