I should do some work, but I’m in an Inktober flow today.

Been busy rearranging the garden layout, but today I actually drew something! 🤓

My illustrations for the Hidden in the Garden challenge over on Instagram. #illustration #kidlitart #garden #spring

Live keeps me busy, but here is a late Valentine’s for you 😘

The final bird of the short list is the Cuban Tody. A super fluffy cutie 🥰 #birbfest #birbfest2025 #birds #illustration

I thought I’d do a proper intro post with links 👋 I’m Jess aka Loadofolbobbins a textile artist and illustrator inspired by nature, books and coosplaying pigeons. 🐦❤️ Shop: www.loadofolbobbins.co.uk Birb Zine Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/loa... Newsletter: eepurl.com/hZtidz

The fourth birb from the short list was the Cassowary. To me he seems like a real fashionista. #birbfest #birbfest2025 #art #fashion

I’m behind the Birbfest schedule 😱

The third bird of the short list was the Masked Trogon. #birbfest #birbfest2025 #sketchbook #art

Presenting todays #Birbfest2025 bird, which I was really looking forward to: the Northern Potoo. #birbfest #art

Happy New Year, everyone 🥳

Let‘s say goodbye to the year of the dragon and welcome the year of the snake. I hope it will be a great one for all of us. Are you guys having any New Year’s resolutions? #newyear #newyear_art #yearofthesnake2025 #chinesezodiacart #childrensbooksart #illustration

I‘m gonna join #birbfest next month. But I‘m only doing the short list. Maybe I can doodle some more birbs, tho. Who else is going to join? #art #artchallenge

Time to look back on 2024. I made a little collage of my personal favourite pieces from this year. I didn’t draw much, but compared to the past years, I actually created something! Hope to be able to make more art next year. #kidlitart #artof2024 #watercolour
