Who Needs Sleeves?

yes capes are an ongoing obsession.....

I just finished illustrating a cape for Oh Comely Magazine.....you'll have to wait till the magazines out before I can show you the whole image...

also was very excited to find some other magic capes by Shida Tatsuya on the online store Koshka. I love the geometric and the sparkly cape....who needs sleeves anyway?

Queen of Tea and Biscuits

I got the most wonderful surprise parcel today. It was addressed with a seal proclaiming 'For Queen Lesley' and contained a very important Royal portrait (and not of Wills and Kate.....) The rather special Gaia Bordicchia (AKA Countess of Coffee and Cake) had drawn a portrait (entirely accurate) of me for Christmas entitled 'Lesley Queen of Tea and Biscuits' So now you know - blue blood flows through my veins (probably mixed with biscuit crumbs and tea...)

In other news I also bought myself a rather wonderful vintage cape (take a peek here)

The ace Aqua Velvet wrote a wee bit about me on her blog
