At the moment I am working on a swap for iATC called 'ELEMENTALS' I am illustrating the four elements: earth, air, wind and fire. I am thinking of doing the 5th element: Aether as a hostess card (not sure how I´d illustrate that one though ;) More info on Elementals here. I´ll post the cards as I do them.
My parcel arrived this morning! Yipee- 2 lovely sketchbooks and a set of sketching pencils - 8B to 2H. Can´t wait to get going! Just need my book to arrive and I can start my 'art classes' . I ordered Kimon Nicolaides´The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study Very mixed reviews on this - but I have a feeling it´s going to work for me.
A new set for an ATC swap on iATC 'Oh my Goth' And, oh what fun I had bringing Gaatha to life! I´m really starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of my new Stylefile markers.
I recently entered this in an art contest on Facebook for people with CMT entitled 'EXPRESSIONS'. All entries will be published in Artist´s World magazine´s September 2012 edition which is dedicated to CMT awareness month! CMT is a neurological disease that affects an estimated 2,6 billion people (click here for more information).

After blogging on and off for under a year on 'Ruby Barr' - I decided my name change (from 'Ruby Barr' to 'Colourfulleigh'), deserved a fresh start. So - here I am - let the blogging begin!
I have also opened an Etsy shop with the same name and should have that up and running (fingers crossed!) soon.
