A birthday drawing for my mom. She begged me to make her a card without using stamps but with my drawing instead, even though I told her repeatedly that I don't like drawing; I only like colouring. So I was colouring away happily while watching Project Runway Australia Season 1 and got distracted in the final episode. I watched in wonder as Leigh Buchanan's collection took shape. I drew this lady inspired by his finale piece. The collar and netting and feathers were inspired by other Project Runway contestants. I love this show.
I gave her a large nose because I love that silhouette; I think it is sooooo European and so elegant. I also love the little reading glasses on her. Not too fond of her arm and leg lengths. There are proportion problems with that.
The cake is inspired by all the wacky Cake Challenge shows on Food Network.
Wow, sorry to ramble on and on!

Your mom is a wise woman to recognize and push your talents, Sophie. I LOVE your hand drawn designs best, too Your style is so unique and whimsical and really showcases your talent. Because of that whimsey, your proportions look spot on;) She is utterly fabulous in creative inspiration, colour, and design. I would sooo wear that outfit), and the cake compliments it all in magical fun. I am so thrilled that you gave your mom her wish. This is such a creative treasure trove. As you can tell, I am thoroughly enjoying it, too;)) Just can't say enough. Your best talent truly lies in what comes out of that unique brain of yours and flows through those equally talented hands.
