Miss Makeup Magpie: New Banner!



I was very excited when Gemma commissioned me to create her new blog header the other week, but so nervous too as I really loved her old one! We wanted to keep the idea of a branch, but we decided on having a couple of magpies instead of just one so it looks like a little family nesting in the cherry blossom tree! Gemma was so sweet to me throughout the whole process, she was very flexible and helpful - I really loved creating this piece for her. 

Thank you for asking me to do this, Gemma! I'm so glad that you're happy with the finished result. 

If you'd like to commission a special illustration for your blog, feel free to get in touch with me anytime.
