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…

The cactus garden collection will be with me at my last two events of the year (whilst goodies last 💚🌵). . . I’ll be at @urbanmarketdundee next weekend (15/16th Dec) and will be opening my studio again too at Meadow Mill 12-4pm, 22nd Dec. . . I can also post treats out via my Etsy Shop if you’re not in the #Dundee area (link in bio) 💚🌿 and there are cactus delights to be found in @everlongartstudioandgiftshop #Alford @ohhellovintage @prettyflyworkshop too! . . #whimsicallush #illustration #cactus #cacti #succulent #etsy #urbanmarketdundee #mug #enamelpin #notebook #sketchbook #openstudio

Noa says... Always be yourself! He loves being different and his friends love him for it too! 🐳💙 . . Noa the Narwhal is just one of the magical creatures that can be found playing and exploring throughout the little world of WhimSicAL LusH. . .

Welcome back to the WhimSicAL LusH Penguin Parade! Wee Maggie is just one of my penguins from the 2018 @maggiespenguinparade and never leaves her toy fish behind. She is the baby of the waddle and is quite the little character. She loves going on adventures with her mum Fleur and dad Charles but is sometimes found exploring further afield on her own in her favourite jumper that she got from her best friend Harold (he’s the bear from @birdandbeardundee ❤️). She was definitely one to keep an eye on this summer! Would you like to adopt a wee Maggie in her cosy red jumper? . . Wee Maggie’s cosy handmade jumper is also inspired by those who help others, like 109 year old Alfie Dent who knitted jumpers for the rescue penguins of Philip Island. It also represents those who support others every day at @maggiesdundee by listening, offering advice and encouragement and by providing a welcoming, inspiring, warm safe space for people when they need it the most. . . This mug will make you smile as it features the popular Wee Maggie dancing and spinning along on lots of adventures! . . Now available from my @etsyuk Shop and #flock18 this weekend in #Banchory at @thebarnarts ❤️🖤🐧 . . #whimsicallush #maggiespenguinparade #weemaggie #maggieandfleur #penguin #babypenguin #mug #dundee #knittedjumper #knitting #cute #Etsy #etsydundee @etsydundee

It’s photo shoot day! So nice to finally have space to set up little shoots in my wee photo tent! . . First up is my brand new Cactus Garden mug! What do you think? 🌵The prints, pins and notebooks have been so popular I thought a mug would make the perfect addition to the collection! 💚🌿🌵 . . This colourful mug features the popular Cactus Garden illustration. Have you visited the beautiful Victorian glasshouses in the little world of WhimSicAL LusH yet? They are stuffed full of plants and are some of the most beautiful calm places to hide out! 💚🌿🌵 . . There is one particular hothouse that is known as the Cactus Garden, packed with beautiful rare cacti and succulents, all planted in colourful handmade pots decorated with rainbows of pattern. This collection is guaranteed to take your breath away! . . Now listed in my @etsyuk shop (link in bio) and will be coming with me to @thebarnarts this weekend for #flock18 up in #Banchory 💚🌿 . . If you can’t make it this weekend you can find me in #Dundee at @northhop On 24th and @waspsdundee On 25th! . . I’m a busy wee bee now right up until #Christmas. My events listings are up on my website if you want to see where I am in December too! Hope to see you soon 💚🌿🌵 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #cactus #cacti #succulent #mug #plantlove #jungalowstyle #plantsofinstagram #houseplants #spiritofnorthhop #waspsdundee

I’m looking forward to some inky fun studio time this afternoon. I’m going to be working on some more miniature inky adventures for next weekend’s event #flock18 at @thebarnarts up in #Banchory. I loved it last year. So many incredible creatives under one roof. I might even add some more to my cupboard later on too. . . I’ve included a wee film making of film in the slides if you’d like a nosey too. I love a good time lapse. . . I have some lovely folks dropping by later on to collect some goodies from my mini market place, so if you’re in town later and want to stop by for some goodies please feel free to shout. The Mini Whimsy Market Place will be open by appointment today 3-5pm. Maybe see you later on? . . After lots of requests, I’ll also be having another open studio event 22/23rd December too. 12-5pm both days. . . #whimsicallush #illustration #marketplace #artiststudio #openstudio #dundee #dundeeartist #scottishartist

Sometimes it’s good to run away for the day! 💛🧡❤️ . . It’s one of the busiest times of year for me and it’s so easy to get trapped into working from the moment I wake until the moment I fall asleep again. . . I love what I do so it usually doesn’t feel like work, so I sometimes don’t realise how exhausting it can all become and I can get a little bit burnt out. As we all can. . . This year I’m trying to be a little bit more aware of that and have been ‘allowing’ myself some time to wander and explore, whether that be out in the autumn countryside with my mum, playing with my camera, or getting lost in gorgeous old books, I’m definitely feeling better for it in all ways! #MeTime usually means me returning to the studio feeling inspired and motivated. #bekindtoyourself I’d fully recommend it! . . Now... enough of the relaxing, I need to catch the Post Office! 😆 . . #dunkeld #autumn #autumncolour #whimsicallush #scotland #visitscotland #explorescotland #outandaboutscotland #reflection

What a treat looking at the illustrations in the incredible #rarebook collection at @dundeeuni #archives yesterday! My head is buzzing with ideas! I’d highly recommend a visit 💚🌿 . . Those #skeletons too... aren’t they hilarious! Worthy of a caption competition for sure. 😆 . . #illustration #dundee #botanicalillustration #butterfly #inspiration #curio #anatomydrawing #shell #butterfly #universityofdundee #plantsofinstagram #plants #drawing

We went back to #kibblepalace last night for @itisonglasglow #glasglow... and wow! Check out how incredible the glasshouses look! 😍 . . Not surprisingly @joannemacfadyen and I waited for Kibble Palace to turn green! He he! So pretty. Definitely one to see with your own eyes though. There’s a whole walk through the gardens too with dragons and stories and lights. Glad we went. What a lot of work they’ve put in! . . So that’s why our @teagreenevents market this weekend is 10-3. To allow for GlasGlow. Why not make a thing of it? Come down and see us, and see the amazing lights too! . . #whimsicallush #glasgowbotanicgardens #botanicgardens #victorianglasshouse #glasshouse #victorian #plants #palm #glasgow #lightshow
