Busy Busy!

Hello, Gosh It's been so busy for me lately. Last week and this week are crazy busy which is so exciting for me. I've been helping out working in a studio which has been loads of fun so, it's been quite difficult to keep up with my own designing. As I've managed to grab a moment I thought I'd post a new design I've recently been working on. I hope you like this style :) and are loving this beautiful sunshine!

Rob's Cakes

As promise here are some of Rob's cakes. I hope you like them. They are very tasty! The photos are not great Im afraid as they were taken some time ago but you get an idea of how clever he is ( he makes the sponge to).

Introducing Robert Gemmel!

I thought I'd share something different with you today and that is the talents of my other half Rob. He is very creative like myself and loves to make things. You may have heard me mention that he's a wizz at sewing to! Anyway Robs talents are endless. He bakes, does wood carvings and sculpture. The below wood carving is one he has just started and needs alot of work. Once he finishes it he will then gloss it and it will look brilliant. The picture underneath is a devil sculpture, slightly dark I know but I think you'll agree it's fantastic. He's missing an ear because we keep him in the celler as he's so scary and he fell off the wall and lost his ear. It shattered into a million pieces so we couldn't save it.  He has also done other sculptures, again some are damaged but I'll post them on when I get more pics. I will post pictures up of the woodcarving when it's done also and come back tomorrow and I will post pictures of some of the cakes he's made.

Wood carving work in progress

Not a great photo but very scary!

More artwork

As it's mother days soon, I've been working on a few ideas due to there being so much inspiration around. Start looking in the shops folks and get your mum a lovely card-not long now! If you look through my blog you can see my work style varies. I go from sketchy and soft (yesterdays post) to bold and bright (today's post). You have to be varsitile in this industry so you can broaden your customer market. I like all the styles I do but if I'm totally honest I like to be bold and bright. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Trying to be productive!

Hi Guys, hasn't the weather been gorgeous recently? I've been having one of those week where nothing I do looks right. If you're the creative type you'll understand how frustrating these moments are! I've been working on the below image and if you saw it when I first started it you would not believe it's the same image. It's gone from being pink, turquoise and lilac to the below colours. The inside of the card is to be coloured and in this case I've done it peach. I rather like this card and I hope you do to.

Birthday Balloons

Hello everyone, Sorry It's been a while since my last post. Things have been very hectic at Michelle McClelland Design. Today I thought I would share with you a few more designs I've been working on lately. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine. It's such a beautiful day today. The sun always puts a spring in my step.

Full of hot air

Hi Guys, Hope you all had a great weekend. I thought I'd share with you a design I've been working on for my agent. He said he wanted a Hot air balloon design and this is what I came up with-Let me know what you think.

A THOUGHT FOR JAPAN

I don't like to talk about sad things on my blog but I feel I have to say something about Japan. As you all know the North and North East of the country were hit but a earthquake and devastating Tsunami on Friday. I've been watching the news today and seeing all the families looking for their loved ones is truely awful. I just wanted to say that all my thoughts and prayers are with those people at this difficult and very sad time. How to help-Click on the below link
