Iyi Bayramlar everybody!   I hope you all are having a wonderful break with family and friends.



Here are a few photos I took recently for Alara - whose beautiful children's art studio (LOLA) Yashar and I love so much!!  Also check out her blog for lots of great ideas for creating with kids.

This is another free printable page for creative drawing and colouring. Feel free to print and use as many as you like! Click on the image to print.  You can find the whole collection of Think and Draw Creative Pages here.

Hope your kiddies have fun with it  :)

Recently I have been doing some illustrations for Tirtil Kids - a wonderful children's book shop here in Istanbul that stocks books in English, Turkish, French and German.  The two below are little details from a couple of the illustrations.


And here are two more - one for 'Summer Skill Sharpeners' and the second 'Going on Holiday'.  The illustrations are for their fortnightly emails that you can sign up for in store.  I'm so happy to be working with them  :)




Also, check out this great post over at the Lots of Lovely Art blog full of excellent ideas on what to do with all your child's art work. Very needed in our house!

Have a great weekend!

After a little unplanned hiatus (things have been very busy behind the scenes here), I am popping in with some exciting news - my 'I have climbed to the top of the tallest tree' print was featured in Shop 4 Kids magazine!  It was in an article called 'Off the Wall Colour Combo's' on the Peach and Gold page.  Definitely a little off the beaten track for children's bedroom colours...but I like it!!

Can you spy it there?...In the middle, to the right of the lamp.  I put a larger image of the print below too in case you are interested.





A huge thank you to Amanda from Brown Paper Packages - one of my lovely lovely stockists!  If you haven't visited her shop recently go and check it out.   The site has been redesigned and looks fantastic and there are so many gorgeous and interesting finds that she has there...perfect for present buying!!

I will be back next week and plan to be back to my usual posting.  I miss it!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Still very busy here at the Light Garden and Hamamist HQ :)    Here is a sneak peek of a couple of new prints I'm adding to the shop  - I only had a chance to take quick photos for the moment and I was getting lots of reflection in the glass...but anyway - here they are!
