Earlier this year one of my friends got married so I made them a wedding card to celebrate their big day. I also included a voucher for a free piece of art work to help decorate their future home. Congratulations to you both :)</div>

Prior to the wedding there was the Hen night which was a really good day. Travelled up to Bath and spent the day at Longleat all dressed as animals hence the mask and hands below.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So... I have had a bit of a break from my blog. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Doesn't mean that I have had a break form the creative though! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So the next few (or more) posts are some of the things I have been up to in the last year. Hope you like them and hopefully this blog splurge will kick start me back into regular blogging again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In other news I have been working on a web page which should be ready to go up imminently, of which I shall post details so watch out for that :)</span>Kayleigh Billshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18257381494404261941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670764962594389749.post-33987386443212946502013-09-26T04:35:00.003-07:002013-09-26T04:35:52.935-07:00The Queen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the latest painting I have been working on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely a work in progress but I feel it is going well so far. Am trying working directly into a dark background rather than mapping out then painting in the background. Has been fun.</div>

These are my most recent work, to be honest I have been slacking, I shall blame it on the cold weather. Bit lame but never mind. So with the sun I start work again. Have just made a new canvas for a shiny new painting as well :)</div>

This is the top layer of a wedding cake I am making. It is a fruit cake, the other two layers are still to come as they are chocolate and lemon they have to made nearer the time, still 3 weeks to go. So in-between working I have been working on the icing decorations. I think I have the top sorted now with the main decoration in place and then can work on the petal placement later. I've just put them on to get an idea of what it might look like.</div>

So.... Haven't blogged for a while, apologies for that. I have been spending my time wisely though...well most of it. <i> </i>I have been working on some centre pieces for a wedding and making the wedding cake. I have yet to find something to put them in. Thinking glass bowls. These are hand-tied using silk flowers, a mix of peach and white roses with some tiny white berries and grass. I have made two so far and have four to go, as it is one for each of the tables.Kayleigh Billshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18257381494404261941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670764962594389749.post-59684982226348576562012-05-23T08:28:00.002-07:002012-05-23T08:28:53.357-07:00When Lard met......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A couple of weeks ago my friends Mum got married and I was asked to do the flowers. This is her bouquet. I'm really happy with the way it came out, was quite fiddly to get the daffodils and roses to have an equal amount of prominence but got there in the end. It was a hand tied bouquet tied together with ribbon and then pinned. I will post the button holes, corsage and bridesmaids bouquets when I get some pictures of them.Kayleigh Billshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18257381494404261941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670764962594389749.post-76038611519964084392012-04-23T02:29:00.000-07:002012-04-23T02:29:10.829-07:00Patrick Star cake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
