@peachtober day 2: chimney 🏡

You don’t need to buy a doll’s house when you can make one from a cardboard box!

Inspired by my many childhood creations including (but not limited to) a Tardis, a sleigh and Snoopy’s Doghouse!

Swipe for the first pencil sketch - my favourite bit 🫶🏻

Adventures in the hedgerow! 🐭
Went home last weekend and enlisted my family on a blackberry-picking mission. I’ve made a Brambly Hedge inspired recipe for a blackberry loaf, sweetened with the local honey that was used as mine and Niamh’s wedding favours! 🍯 by @millyslibrary

Geology! (Coming Soon) 🦖

One of four books in my Sensory Science series, designed and written by me and illustrated by the amazing @estergamo 🤩

Filled with fun facts and interactive elements ✨

Other titles in the series: Biology, Chemistry and Physics

Swipe to the end for a flick through of my initial concept art / layout brief!
