Starting on shakey ground...

So I've managed to spend the most of the last three days working in Illustrator instead of doing uni work. I find it much more gratifying, but I know that won't last. I need to kick my butt into gear... but in the mean time, here is one of my newest creations...

I have spent a lot of today working on this little rag doll, but enjoyed every minute of it. Well I'm sure there were a few that I didn't, like getting her legs to go under the skirt! Not as easy as it sounds. Not for me anyway. May have been a lack of caffeine though...

I feel I need to put as many hours into etsy.com and this blog as I can (without jeopardising my uni degree) so I can really get my name out there, but also to build up my skills. Even just over the last couple of weeks I can look back at some thing I've made and go... wow, that's not as good as I could do now. I'm also sure that with more practise, I will get faster at using Illustrator etc, because at the moment, I'm really not.
