Creative Trade:Laura Kay from Diarysketches

A while ago I came across a sweet blog called http://diarysketches.blogspot.com. Laura, the lady behind it, has a really cute illustration style and a sweet expression. We agreed on doing a "blog-trade", where we both worked to illustrate the quote:

"Not all those who wander are lost"

From the poem "All that is gold does not glitter" by Tolkien.
( witch happens to be one of my favorite poems, hihi)


This is what she has to say to us , my lovelies:

Hi I 'm Laura, the artist and blogger behind http://diarysketches.blogspot.com/ . Most of my childhood was spent in my room surrounded by paints, cut up papers and all sorts of materials. Although I'm older now and a bit more mature, my burning love for art has never dwindled. I am currently amidst my degree for desktop and web publishing, however I'm on break this semester doing what I really love- illustrating a children's book (or two). Thanks Maria for the great idea of having a blog trade with me on the quote "not all those who wander are lost". Wandering is fun, that's how I came across so many wonderful art blogs including www.eiforandring.com ! Good luck in all that you do!

 Head over to her blog to check out more of her work!

I had so much fun working side by side like this.

Should I do more trades like this?
