Lucie Tea

Hi there! I'm Lucie Tea, and I'll be using this blog to document my projects and my wandering mindramblings (of which I have many!)

 I have a tumblr for my art, but I've found that I can't resist making at least a little more commentary, so this blog will be a very personal space in which I can let my hair down and relax and freely blog about my projects, art, writing and interests.

I also love making zines and brooches, and sell a few crafty curiousities at my Etsy page (take a peek if you're so inclined!)

 

Candy Purveyor Girl from my sketchbook

 (unfinished as of yet... but perhaps forever a WIP!).

I'm not sure who this girl is, but she looks like someone who'd serve you lollies in a candy store. Or choctops and popcorn before a really good movie. Perhaps... (just perhaps)... she is a purveyor of much more mysterious goods. If you're on the hunt for a rarer kind of curiousity, she'll help you - find an out of print book, for example, or a strange beast from a foreign land, or eyedrops that make you cry solid gold tears. Or even that other matching sock you lost in the wash.

In any case, she'll probably be making some sketchbook reappearances!

I've been looking at some amazing painters and have decided I'd really love to learn to use colour. I work in black and white pen most of the time, but I've realised that the only way I'm going to improve on colour is to practice, practice, practice! I guess "learn to paint" can be my 2013 New Years Resolution!
