Christmas cards

Can you feel it ? It's in the air... Christmas !!
And there is no christmas without the famous and loved by all families : Nutcracker.

I made this two designs for christmas cards a year ago but never got to print them and show them to the world. This year finally I did it and I am now selling them on my Etsy shop.





You can get them here --> WhereDeadBlossomAre (my Etsy shop name)

Each card is £3,00 and they are blank inside to let space for your christmas creativity ;)

Craft in wonderland

I had an event at the end of october (yes I know, it was already a long time ago...huhum...), the theme of this event was "The mad hatter tea party". So just for the occasion I created a few accessories to go with my outfit.

First a peter pan collar with the tag "Drink me" on it :


Then, an Alice brooch and a white brooch, so she can keep following him everywhere :) :


Making the hair out of yarn for the Alice was a bit of a puzzle for me but I got it and it doesn't look too bad. I love the little white rabbit, I am wearing it all the time on hat at the moment.

Now question time ! Would you be interested in seeing this items on my Etsy shop ? Would you like to have a "Dring Me" or Eat me" Peter pan collar or an Alice brooch ?
I would like to make more but I have so much to do at the moment that I need a bit of motivation...mehehe...laaaaaaazyyyy...

Let me know *¤*(^_^)/

Work in Progress

Hi there !
I know it's been a while I haven't post anything on the blog, I have been quite busy and a bit lazy lately...
But here I am ! With nothing really interesting but still something.
A work in Progress on Alice in wonderland illustrations. I choose three of the characters of the story with Alice on each picture.
I wanted to change a bit on the regular Alice, and to draw her as some kind of an icone, the sane part of her insanity...




I just need now to find the time to give them some colors. I've started on the caterpillar but it's just really long and I have a hard time finding the proper colors. Anyway... Soon.

Next thing, I'll show my little creations I made for the outfit I planned for a Tea party.

Til' then, See ya all xxx

I WANT TO BE A PRINCESS n°1



I am starting a serie of drawings on princesses, as often as possible I will create a new princess or princesses through different themes.
If you have any ideas of a theme or a crazy idea for a crazy princess look let me :)

This one is the first one : Everyday princesses, as we all in all the ways we're being, are princesses, from the most feminin to the most masculin of us (and you don't have to be girl to be a princess...)

That's said, let's "I want to be a princess" begin !

mardi 24 septembre 2013

This summer I was performing with the Théâtre de l'Ange Fou company, in there new production : "Waiting for Ulysses" presented in there summer program, The White Church Theatre project. To find more information about this event it is here, on their website : whitechurchtheatre.org

This summer was the second season of the White Church Theatre project, and for the occasion the company started the season with a new show. "Waiting for Ulysses" is a trip into Penelope's mind while she's desperately waiting for her husband to come back from the dead. It is not anymore the mystical story we all now, as Penelope is a patient in an asylum directed by a strange Doktor and she is no longer pursued by the strongest warriors from the countries around but by a handful of mysterious doctors, when Ulysses is now a shadow, an untouchable ideal...

To get back to the drawings, Rob (one of the actors and the creator of the doctors/suitors suits) had made an amazing prop, a huge book that his character would use in play. And in the middle of the book he had added a few pages...blank pages...
He plan was to draw some writings on them, but I had another plan...mehehe
When I arrived in Spring Green, I hadn't been drawing for almost a year (because of my final exams, work and laziness) A YEAR ! So when I saw this blank pages, I just completely lost my mind and in a week time I came up with this illustrations.


During the second act of the play, the suitors/doctors would metamorphose into characters of the Odyssey, as we were going deeper into Penelope's mind. So I used this characters for the illustrations. Up there we have Circe the witch as she is represented in classical paintings with the wand and a bowl, and of course the pigs ! (I am really proud of my pigs, because they look like pigs :) )
Then down there, starts with the cyclop who have just been stabed by Ulysses. 
 
This one is the vision of Thyresias after Ulysses came to find him in the Underworld.Thyresias tells Ulysses he will have to pass the sea monster Scylla to find his way back home...

Here are the sirens sing their deadly song to Ulysses who is tied to his boat. I used the french text as I was reading the Odyssey at that moment and it was the only version I had with me AND because I thought it would make it poetic to write in another langage than english...

And to finish, Calypso and the cruel Poseidon. I am quiet happy with the poseidon as well, the waves were long to do but I like the effect...

That all for now folks, I'm sorry if the pictures are not the best quality, I had taken them with my phone and the light wasn't good ! See ya all!
