Fallen Angel


Fallen Angel


Graphite on A3 sized sketchbook paper.



This is one of my Earlier drawings from 2011.
I was pulling myself out of a dark time in my life when I drew this. It actually started out as a request from one of my friends for a 'half angel half demon', then it developed into something else, like a reflection of what I imagine the struggle within us would look like to those around us. I've had many offers for purchase of this drawing but I could never bear to part with it but I see it as a reminder that I have overcome the feeling of being in that position and it hangs inside our home.
The drawing itself took 3 days with minimal sleep, a bunch of loneliness, lots of coffee and a bit of chain smoking. I used a pencil and an eraser and drew it on a piece of A3 paper in an 'el cheapo sketchbook, You will find that is generally all I use when I'm drawing. Some parts I took reference to pictures I had previously taken of landscapes and random objects and a few limbs that come from myself- however probably more 'enhanced' versions. Most parts though were imaginary but all of it was 100% freehand drawn.

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie Easy and Gluten free of course For the Base -  1 cup Woolworths gf flour (cos it’s my fav) Just under 1/4 cup white or caster sugar Tsp van essence 1/2 cup Plain Greek or natural yoghurt (couldn’t find Danone last shop so I used 5am organic) Mix together with a fork then knead to form a dough. Add extra flour if too sticky (measurements are a guesstimate)  Roll out or just press into a deep pie dish and blind bake for about 5-10 mins in a moderate oven.  While its baking, I moved on to the next part: The Filling - Half small ripe pumpkin, steamed and cooled.

Pt 1

Soo,       Here      we        are       . This is probably one of the silliest ideas I've ever had and trust me, it isn't the first time. Well -first time making a blog; not first silly idea, but you are going to realise that pretty quickly on your own without me having to tell you that. I should probably tell you about myself but I think there will be plenty of time to 'get to know me' and for me to incarcerate myself later, I assure you.. For now let's just stick with my name- its Kelli... with an I, not ie, just I. (and Yes I feel that was kinda necessary); Followed by a few things about me. Turns out I don't take many selfies,so this is me like 3 months ago, ha. One- I'm engaged to my 'high school sweetheart' or what my sister called 'my first love'. and as much of a cliché that sounds, I met him when I was like 14 and we dated for 5 weeks.. Skip 15 years of complicated details (for now) aaaand ...
