Lizard lettering

And signs, from the Lizard and Mullion.

Lizard, Kynance & Mullion II

Actual photos now, (excluding, for the most part, signs/lettering) from Wednesday's Lizard/Kynance and Mullion adventures. There's not too many as it wasn't particularly good weather for photography.

The Lizard

I love these old signs.

I rather liked this post, it reminds me of a lighthouse.

Kynance Cove

Big rocks & waves.

Mullion harbour

Several nice fishing boats.

Lizard, Kynance & Mullion I

Today I went to Lizard point (and village), Kynance Cove and Mullion harbour. It was a tiring day, and I took lots of photographs - including lots of lettering and signs!

I don't have much time at the moment, as I'm off to eat Chinese food! But tomorrow or Friday, I might actually be able to post some decents photographs - after a trip to St Mawes tomorrow.
Here's a few for now:

I won a big yellow pencil!

Hooray!

I was one of about ten people to win one of these for our book project work/final book. So chuffed with myself. It sounds even better if I point out there's about 100 people on my course! Also, won a book which thirty of us received. A YCN annual. Although, to be honest, I don't know what YCN is or stands for. I'm guessing Young Creative Network or something similar.
I shall Google it up.

I also purchased and consumed this tasty and cute owl cup cake beforehand

- as you can see, I nibbled the eye before photographing.

Animalphabet

Discovered these nice illustrations, for an animal alphabet, on the Typography & Lettering photostream on Flickr.

I think I'd really like to try doing my own animal alphabet. Or some other kind of illustrated alphabet. I love how the animals in these have so much detail and tone in the watercolour.

Cat cam III

For my third cat cam film (second being lost by my stupidity) I used a 36 exposure film, so figured I had more chance of getting some decent photos. They're pretty much all blurry, once again, but there's some nice colours.

Interesting light occurance.

Jo & Josh.

One of the last photographs, and I didn't take it.
Me & Ruby.

Birthday envelope paintings

Today it is my dad's birthday, and on Thursday it was my mum's birthday. As I'm in Falmouth and they are in Milton Keynes, of course, I had to post cards to them. I bought two nice arty cards from Spice (shop in town that sells lots of decorative things, jewelery and millions of cards) but then added my own touch to the envelopes. Inspired by envelopes featured in this blog.

Mum's

 Dad's

They're both watercolour paintings from photographs of my own, taken in Falmouth. I actually painted these way back on Monday but I couldn't post them before, or it'd spoil the surprise!

Happy birthday dad!
