My Bio
I'm Rachel, and I really hate filling these things out. No attempts here will be made to be witty or original...:p
I'm 23 years old, originally from Oxfordshire (which is beautiful, by the way) now living in Wales with my family.
What else...um...I love tattoos. Can't wait to be covered in them! I have 7 so far :) I also love nature and music. I play guitar and piano (although the latter has been neglected recently due to, oh I don't know, not owning an piano :p)
Obviously I love art...otherwise I wouldn't be here! Would like to learn digital art one day, but me and technology are mortal enemies. The fact that I have worked out my iPad enough to be typing this right now is a miracle :p but anyway, traditional art is all I have ever known and done and I do love it.
I also love pirates. I have a lifelong dream to steal a boat and become a pirate. Still pretty convinced it's gonna happen one day.
Massive gamer here too ^_^ Zelda, mario and pokemon make me happy.
Music wise...Rock and metal. But weirdly my favourite ever band, ever, in the universe is arcade fire...
I don't bite, if you want to chat drop me a message :)

Hey everybody 😊
So, last night I decided to open an etsy shop, and it is now up and running!
https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheLegendOfPainting?ref=shopinfo_shophome_leftnav
*throws rainbow confetti* 🎉
Will be selling my paintings on there, if anybody is interested 😄 I'm also happy to do custom paintings.
Also toying with the idea of starting to make nerdy gamer merchandise...but that will take some time and planning. Watch this space!
Hope everybody is happy today!
Love, hugs and strawberries, Rachel 🍓💚

Any requests?

if anyone would like a drawing done for them, mention in the comments ^_^ I have to wait a while to finish my projects until I get money so I'm open to anything at the moment.
I don't really have a preference as I'm trying to improve and expand my skills after not drawing for years, so chuck any ideas at me and I'll give it a go 😊😊
Love, hugs and llamas, Rachel 💚
(p.s. Requests so far will hopefully be done within a week from today, 20/05😊)

Ode to a lack of a camera.
0 min read
Oh art, how wondrous are thee.
To express oneself so perfectly.
If only I could see
A camera, to upload thee.
Yeah, in short, I NEED TO FIND MY CAMERA CHARGER.
Thus the severe lack of art uploaded.
Peace \,,/

many thx for the watch 
You're very welcome. Your art is wonderful, and really inspiring. I may give water colours a go if that's what can be achieved with them!! 😊
i thank you very much StrangerInLondon!^^
Sure check it out!
Water colors are really a wonderful medium to paint traditionally, because there are unlimited possibilities of colors and techniques ^_^ That's why i love them

Thank you for the fave! 
You're welcome 
your cosplays are awesome! I hope I learn how to sew that well one day. I attempted recently and was crap XD xx

Hey, at least you did it!! 
Practice makes perfect, and I think sewing is a skill that you can get pretty good at pretty fast. I have taught a few of my friends how to sew, but I did it buy throwing them in the deep end and having them make full cosplays! I would say, go for it! You never know what you can do until you try. If you fail then you'll have learned a lot from it and be better the next time you try! If you want to practice sewing, but you have no money, then make little pillows. My sister and I used to make little pillows all the time when we were kids, because we could use old clothes or rags which were totally free.

My sister and I used to make little pillows all the time when we were kids, because we could use old clothes or rags which were totally free.That's not a bad idea problem is I know how to do some basic stitches, I can join fabrics together fine, but I don't know how to make patterns. I tried to make a pokemon plush and it just didn't sew up together at all. It was just badly sized and lopsided. And I'm reluctant to take other people's patterns, because I'd like to make my own original plushies if I'm going to do it at all!
wish I knew someone who could teach me! 😔 are you self taught? Xxx
