1940's Golden Dictionary

My mum found this amazing book in my Grandma's attic while she is sorting out moving house. It is pretty great! It has lots of illustrations in it that are pretty comical (see: cut). It's from the 60's (first printed in the 40's) and is falling apart.

Sketchbook Girls

These are some girls I drew wearing Fred Perry clothes that I wish I owned. This is the first time in ages I have used colouring pencils and I very much enjoyed it, I like the messiness. I think I will use them more!

Happy new year everybody! Thanks for reading my blog in 2011 :)
