Take these broken wings and learn to fly~

Hello my favorite ones <3 LOOK NEW CRAPPY HEADER (finally)
I'm currently curled up on my sofa with a hot cup of tea sheltering from the cold and my favorite playlist playing (mainly featuring Coldplay, The Vaccines and The Beatles aha) all because my school is shut because all the water pipes have frozen. Brilliant! So yes it is FREEZING!! It's meant to be March, you know spring But it's actually snowing at the moment. I guess more tea is needed~ 
So I haven't done much art at the moment. Been working on my current painting for ages now. I just can't seem to get it right so I keep changing it. I've used soooooo much paint on it!! I love textured paintings though so I thought I might try and develop a bit of a textural style aha... Well recently I went to London to the National Gallery and they had Van Gogh's Sunflowers there! It was a real treat. I absolutely love his work (and not just because he was in Doctor Who...), it's properly good and very inspiring~ I encourage you to go and have a good look.

So yes here is my WIP painting. 
Working on a poem for it as well because it's got a bit of a story to it.

I make a mess seriouslyyyy!

Up close and personal. You can see how much paint is on this aha!

Also recently I found this shop on Etsy which sell these gorgeous and practical tribal bags for a really reasonable price. Mine was about £15 including P&P and it's really good quality. I'm a sucker for anything tribal haha! 





Etsy shop: Clicky

Alsoooo I went to Sussex this weekend to visit my nan and fam when my mum and I stumbled across this gorgeous Zara dress in this crazy antiques shop in Lewes. £15 for a Zara dress yes please and it fits perfectly! Looks a bit like a little girls dress on the hanger but it looks much better on. So this is actually going to be sitting in my wardrobe for some time as it's going to be my graduation dress in July but I thought I'd show it off now because I love it so much!
Nomnomnom <3

Happy Mother's Day as well!
 My poor mum had to get this awful excuse of a card from myself but I wrote lots on the inside and made some nommy lemon cupcakes. Love you mumsiepoos <3

So yes that is it really. My life is pretty boring at the moment. Trying to finish school ajshfjdfj! I'm also trying to cram a 6 minute speech that I had to write into my head on self esteem into my head for an upcoming school thing in 3 weeks. Mehh. 

Hope you have an awesome day and thank you very much for reading!

Butterflies in the Snow

Hellooo beauties <3
I've had a pretty wonderful day today. Why? Because it snowed!!~ Snow really does make everything better. School gets closed, the hats, gloves and snuggly jumpers come out, lots of warm stodgy English food and there is a constant flow of hot choccie. Plus pretty snow pictures! 





















My brother and I are enjoying the snow immensely. Just about to minecraft while watching River Cottage :3
I have also finished my butterfly lady sketch.
