OH JOHNNY, OH JOHNNY, OH JOHNNY

Every year on the 26th and 27th of July the town of Leyburn hop into their time machines and travel back to the 1940s. My Dad, Mum and I, along with our neighbour/family friend Mic and his faithful companion Ruby (the dog) all piled into the car and began the hour long journey back to the 1940s.The sun was shining  and the day was filled with live music, friendly people, fish and chips and a very refreshing glass of home made lemonade. (Must admit it did feel like I had been transported into an Enid Blyton book)

I had gone with the intention of taking as many photographs as possible but sometimes whilst looking through a lens you have a tendency to miss things and I wanted to create memories of the day not just photographs.

However, I hope you enjoy the photgraphs I did take.

How are you all today?

 

As you can all probably guess I've been drawing today which has resulted in the above illustrations. 'What media did you use?' I hear you ask, why fineliners of course 'sigh' the addiction continues.

LET'S HAVE TEA IN THE GARDEN, IT'S TOO BEAUTIFUL A DAY NOT TO SHARE IT WITH THE FLOWERS...

 

 

 

Garden tea parties, is there anything better? Its not often I draw a 'scene' as it were but like I said is there anything better than a garden tea party. I'm still quite undecided if adding colour was the right choice, what do you think? I had planned on doing the whole thing in colour but I was worried I was going to loose so much of the detail. I think I might get some photocopies made up and experiment with colour on those first. And once again I used my trusty fine liners, yup I have a problem. (a big one).

 

Hope you have a lovely Friday and a lovelier weekend.

P.S. their skirts are suppose to be up turned tea cups
