Helen
Artist | Varied
United Kingdom
Hey :) I'm Helen, and I'm an artist :D I love photography (especially macro); I love painting (primarily in acrylics, but some watercolour and multimedia. I also paint Pet Portraits); I love craft (everything from card making to models, and making clothes to crochet); and I love typography (from printing presses to designing fonts) and graphic design. I also love baking!

I tend to see beauty where others don't - the colours and textures in rust and dereliction are just amazing. I am also obsessed with sunsets ;)

Oh, and I suffer from ME/CFS, along with other various problems.

Favourite genre of music: Christian rock/alternative
Operating System: Mac OS X
Personal Quote: So many... "In art there are no mistakes, only possibilities."
Interests
So yes, exciting things are happening this year :) One of those things might be me responding to comments quicker, but I doubt it ;)

So far this year, my blog has had quite an update, hopefully making it more user friendly and definitely more visually appealing, go have a look... [link]

I've also started a new feature on the blog, of Tried and Tested tips to help you out creatively. Check out the beginning of the series here (the first one is crochet related): [link]

I've launched a shop [link] over on my Facebook page [link] , so head over, like it, and check things out :) New stock will be added as sooooon as I'm able :)

My most viewed deviations on here have been my Minecraft Cake [link] (I actually fluked a screenshot of it as it hit 15k, eee!) and Minecraft Cookie [link] ... So what have I learnt from that? That people like Minecraft (duh!) So... I have a very, very exciting Minecraft product coming to my shop VERY SOON!! It was initially made for my husband, but today I bought materials to make more. They will likely be limited edition, so watch. this. space. I will also be bringing a print out related to it, so hopefully something for everyone :)

Have you noticed some of my art is now available as prints direct through dA? Stop reading this wall of text, and go check it out ;) [link] If there are any images you'd like added, just leave a comment somewhere :)

Oh, and I might even convince my husband to completely redo my website so I actually start using it again ;)


Also - watchers - I know I don't always thank you for faves etc, but please know they're all appreciated! I feel weird saying it to you constantly ;)

Hey there!

I know you are a "watcher" of mine, so I would really appreciate it if you would "LIKE" and "SHARE" my FB Page... That's if you are on FB! Haha!

Thanks! Whilst I do crochet, I had never even thought about realistic amigurumi, but some of the pictures in your group are stunning! Maybe one day I'll give it a try, too :)

I truly hope you do! Inspiring people to try realistic amigurumi is exactly why I wanted to start this group. So I guess I've already accomplished my goal... Job done? :D
