A self portrait, me by me for my Mum. My first creative passion was drawing. Drawing , painting, pastels, pens, chalks, crayons.. anything that put colour to paper and I could create a something with my own fair hands. When my friends were getting comics and sticker books ... I insisted my Dad buy me adult weekly Learn how to paint/draw tutorial Magazines... Think I picked up a crayon before I attempted crawling! My dream as a kid was to animate for Disney... that didnt happen but I am so grateful for this new found passion I have found in silversmithing. Creating things again with my own fair hands. After spending the best part of adulthood with all things creative me locked away while I ploughed away at desk jobs. I feel so so lucky to have found my creative path again ... & long may it continue .... #makersgonnamake #instasmith #followyourpassion #creativity #selfportrait #mosthappywhenimmaking #betterlatethannever #art #drawing #portrait #sketching
