I had to share the news that I have now completed my copy of Worlds of Wonder. It was such a lovely book that I just could not wait to colour every page. I put together a flip through for you, so that you can have a look at it. If you have not purchased […]
I did a few extra tutorials so there were more than one a day. However, they were mainly from Worlds of Wonder apart from the flowers in pots from the planner on Monday of which the completed picture is above.
I have mixed it up a bit this week with more pictures from the planner – hope you enjoyed that! There were also lots from Worlds of Wonder as normal but I will be starting to add in videos from World of Flowers and Ivy and the Inky Butterfly soon as well.

The guides all use prismacolor pencils but I just used the equivalent from polychromos. There is information on materials, money saving hacks, some information about pencil brands and elements of art. Then […]
I only have the tweleve pastel tone set of these pencils at the moment, so it is those that I will base my review on. Only having twelve means that I often combine them with other pencils and find that they work really well with my polychromos. I used them for the buildings in the […]
