I’d like to just wish you all a Merry Christmas and I do hope you’re having a good day whether you are spending time with family, friends or on your own.

Here’s my final illustration that I created last week for the 12 Days of Christmas. For days one to five, I designed individual illustrations however, for days six to twelve, I combined the previous images with new icons for the 12 days of Christmas. The 12 days of Christmas actually starts today, on Christmas Day and lasts until the evening of the 5th January. If you’re interested in the meaning of the 12 Days of Christmas, then you may find this a good read! whychristmas.com

So here goes: On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me…

Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

Merry Christmas!

Illustrated Christmas

With Christmas so nearly upon us, I have been busy buying Christmas presents on-line. I really hate going shopping when the traffic is horrendous, and having to queue for hours. I’m so impatient and would much prefer to browse around the web, at my own leisure. Hallelujah for internet shopping!

I love pattern, especially illustrated images, and I simply adore all of the fine detailing! For this post, I have carefully selected a few of my favourite,  illustrated Christmas products which I’m sure any of your closest family and friends will love. These would make fantastic presents for any illustrator, or someone who would just love a bit of illustration at Christmas.

Here are the places where you can buy all of these gorgeous illustrated goodies!
