Do A Little Something ‘Just Cos’. It Will Make You Smile!

It’s that time of year again! Fun A Day Dundee exhibition time! This means that I have once more been working on something all January… just cos. Just cos I wanted to. Just cos it’s a bit of fun during a cold dark month. Just cos it’s nice to join in and be a part…

‪Snapped these moody skies and fleeting beautiful rainbows over The Caird Hall this afternoon on my way to the studio. 🌈😍 . . #Dundee #SunnyDundee ‬#lookup #whimsicallush #moodysky #rainbow #architecturephotography #weather #sunshine #silhouette #cloudspotting

@alfie_wire_fox_terrier is at it again! 🥰 Look at that wee dude, posing like a proper pro with one of my new zip bags. His fav is the white dancing birds design and he recommends stuffing it full of tasty doggo treats - what’s your favourite and what would you fill it with? 🌿 . . You can ‘bagsie’ one too from my Etsy shop (link in bio). . . #whimsicallush #illustration #wirefoxterrier #doggo #dogmodel #dundee #zipbag #makeupbag #pencilcase

I had a lovely day yesterday at Kibble Palace with @teagreenevents! Unfortunately I started to feel really yukky in the afternoon and by the time I got myself back to Dundee I wasn’t feeling well at all. That in itself is a bit rubbish but the reason I’m posting about it is that it means I can’t attend today’s lovely wee show at @harbourcafetayport . Really gutted as it’s always so nice being there. Don’t you be missing out too though - especially can’t miss their amazing cakes!! It’s open 11-3:30, right next to the pretty harbour. Go say hi for me! 😘🐳 . . Oh and I know some #Etsy orders came in yesterday and today - don’t worry. I have some very good elves who can help me make sure they are posted in time! 💚🌿🎄 . . Swipe right to see a wee face that has been trying to cheer me up with lots of cuddles! @lupinlurcher 🥰 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #dundee #glasgow #tayport #glasgowbotanicgardens #diorama #plantlove #glasshouse

All set up at Kibble Palace for @teagreenevents - can you spot the new treats? 🍄🌿 . . Also thought it would be fun to make a time lapse of me setting up too! High speed - wish it really was that fast! 😂 (swipe through to see the nonsense!) . . #whimsicallush #illustration #glasgow #botanicgardens #kibblepalace #teagreenevents #teagreeninthemaking #toadstool #bags #madeindundee

I get to hang out in the stunning Victorian glasshouses of Kibble Palace again all day tomorrow - with @teagreenevents! I had such a great time last time - cannot wait. There are around 70 exhibitors AND plants to swoon over for days! 🌵🌱🌿💚 . . Open 10-4 . . Sunday I’ll be at @harbourcafetayport 🐳 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #glasshouse #hothouse #greenhouse #victorianglasshouse #glasgow #plantlove #jungalow #plants #teagreeninthemaking #teagreenevents #christmasmarket #glasgowmarket #artfair

Hothouses and glasshouses are some of my favourite places to explore, especially Dundee Botanic Gardens and the stunning Victorian glasshouses of Kibble Palace @glasgowbotanicals - where I’ll be this Saturday with @teagreenevents . This print is inspired by the thousands of cacti and succulents you can find there and a nod to my precious ever growing collection on my drawing table! . . You can also find this bad boy in my Etsy...

Her little brother held tightly onto his teddy bear with one hand and onto hers with his other as she reassured him with some of her favourite words from her Winnie The Pooh book. . . “Promise me you’ll always remember. You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” (A.A. Milne) . . It had always made her feel better too when she was a little bit scared. . . This new print is now available from my Etsy shop AND #KibblePalace at @glasgowbotanicals for @teagreenevents THIS Saturday!! 💚🌿 (link to my Etsy in bio)

@travelingwolf really suits the Monstera Leaf Necklace doesn’t she! 😍 She also wrote some lovely words about how she came to be wearing it. Thank you so much Breagha! 💚🌿 . . "I was gifted one of Suzanne's necklaces for Christmas last year, I'd been eyeing it up for ages and fell completely in love with the design! I worked in Bird & Bear during the day a lot at the time and was constantly surrounded by the Whimsical Lush artwork so it had to be. 😍 It’s my favourite piece and I wear it for every special occasion, I feel like I'm always carrying a piece of Dundee around with it on 💚.

@alfie_wire_fox_terrier was particularly happy with his WhimSicAL LusH weekend purchases so he agreed to help me say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hi at @dcadundee and @waspsdundee. . To those who couldn’t travel to Dundee but filled up my inbox with Etsy orders too - thanks so much. What a belter of a weekend it’s been! You guys are the bestest! Without your support I couldn’t still be doing this. 🥰 . . I’m not done yet though... Next weekend I’ll be joining @teagreenevents again - this time at Kibble Palace @glasgowbotanicals on Saturday and @harbourcafetayport on Sunday! My Etsy will be getting a cheeky wee re-stock too whilst treats last. . . Alfie says: “there’s just a couple of these magnificent handmade (in Dundee) zip bags left so get in quick! Suzanne’s Etsy shop has a link in the bio.” . . Cheers Alfie you handsome lil dude! 😘 . . #whimsicallush #dcadundee #waspsdundee #christmaspresents #alfiethewirefoxterrier #dundee #glasgow #tayport #christmasmarket #fabric #zipbag #makeupbag #pencilcase #teagreenevents #teagreeninthemaking #harbourcafetayport #foxterrier #wirefoxterrier #doggo

Another print coming to CRAFTED @dcadundee with me today - Dundee’s iconic Magdalen Green Bandstand! 💚🌿 . . “Magdalen Green has the distinction of being Dundee’s oldest city park having been in use for some 400 years and has long been used for both meeting and recreational purposes. The bandstand built in 1890 has become a Dundee icon and hosts concerts on Sunday afternoons during the summer. Built at the Saracen Foundry by Walter Macfarlane & Co of Glasgow it was restored in 1991. “ (@dundeecitycouncil Website) . . #whimsicallush #waltermacfarlaneandco #architecture #Dundee #architectureillustration #magdalengreen #magdalengreenbandstand #bandstand #artprint #etsy #illustration #monstera #dca #dcacrafted

I’ve been busy drawing Dundee some Dundee buildings this year and forgot to share any of the illustrations with you! 🤦🏻‍♀️ So here is the first one - The McManus. It is now available as a print too! . . For those of you who don’t know Dundee “The @mcmanusdundee is Dundee’s Art Galleries and Museum and is a Gothic Revival-style building, located in the centre of Dundee, Scotland. The building houses a museum and art galleries with a collection of fine and decorative art as well as a natural history collection. It is protected as a Category A listed building. The building was designed by the architect George Gilbert Scott, who was an expert for the restoration of mediaeval churches and advocate of the Gothic architectural style.” (Dundee Leisure & Culture) . . These detailed prints will be with me this weekend at @dcadundee Crafted on Saturday and @waspsdundee Christmas Market on Sunday. . . They are also now listed in my Etsy Shop (link in bio). . . #GeorgeGilbertScott #architecture #Dundeearchitecture #DundeeBuildings #DundeeHistory #ScottishArchitecture #Buildings #illustration #whimsicallush #artprint #Etsy #etsydundee #etsyseller #architectureillustration #monstera

Look what opens tomorrow at @freedomhairdundeebroughtyferry! 😍 “Come delve into another world at Freedom Dundee’s Winter exhibition with the quirky illustrations of Dundee artists WhimSicAL LusH and @creature_emporium Emporium. . . This is not their first time working together as they have both featured in public art trails such as @oorwulliebuckettrail (and @owbigbuckettrail) trail and @maggiespenguinparade . . . Check out one of their latest collaborations in the form of a limited edition print - especially created for this exhibition. . . So get down to Freedom Hair on Dock Street, Dundee to see some of their magic dancing across the walls!” . . #whimsicallush #creatureemporium #illustration #penguin #winter #creatures #exhibition #dundee #illustratorsoninstagram #dundeeartist #madeindundee #dundeeisnow #oorwulliebigbuckettrail #owbbt

What an amazing weekend it’s been! The @teagreenevents Festive Design Market at @vadundee was a blast! The museum was jammed all weekend with all you brilliant lot and loads of new faces too. Thanks so much for all the kind words and stories - and I hope that all those goodies you bought bring lots of smiles! . . Massive congrats to @joannemacfadyen of @teagreenevents! Dream big or go home girl - you did it. 💚🌿Also to the insane construction skills of the unstoppable @louisecforbes - those display stands are ace! 😍 . . A few hours later, the museum was once again quiet and team Tea Green gave a big yay 🙌 #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #TTG . . Off to hang a new wee exhibition later on (more on that in a bit) and prep for next weekend’s events... after I go try revive my aching happy bones! Any top tips? 😂 Commissions and Etsy order posting shall recommence tomorrow. 😘 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #teagreenevents #vandadundee #dundee #designmarket #festivemarket #illustratorsoninstagram #shoplocal #justacard #etsy

I’ve had THE BEST day today at the @teagreenevents Festive Design Market at @vadundee.

See you then! . . #whimsicallush #teagreenevents #dundee #vandadundee #designmarket #festivemarket #illustration #scotland #scottishartist #illustratorsoninstagram

Wrapping, prepping, painting and packing my way to being ready to rock @vadundee THIS weekend! Come along to the very first @teagreenevents Festive Design Market to bagsie yourself some of my fab new wrapping paper... and so much more from my new collections. I’ll be there both days and I just cannot wait. . . If you can’t make it to Dundee, fear not - all three paper designs are in my Etsy shop too!

I’ve been busy designing my very own @whimsicallush fabric this year and I’m just delighted with it - and with the bags that Maggie from @once_upon_a_wardrobe has made for me with it. I love collaborating with other creatives. I can sew but my skills most certainly don’t match hers. Thanks Maggie! . . These limited edition 100% cotton tote bags, zip bags and fat quarters will be with me this weekend at @vadundee for the @teagreenevents Festive Design Market. . . #whimsicallush #teagreentakeover #dundee #illustration #pattern #fabric #handmade #surfacepatterndesign #fabricdesign #fatquarters #collaboration
