hello there folks, firstly a big ol' sorry from me for not having posted in a while! all sorts of crazy things have been going on but i'm here now so lets get on with todays blog post shall we!
it's time for another Creative Café post and i should warn you, today's is a little different to what's usually on display for a CC post, however it is very VERY awesome and i'm sure you'll love it all regardless!
you know the drill (and if you don't, here it is - the Creative Café drill)
today it's all about the very fabulous Amy Williams
Amy is an artist and apprentice tattooist for 'Tenacious Tattoo' based in Sheffield in the UK + she uses a dip pen, India ink and watercolour to create her highly detailed original designs
i personally have a HUGE phobia of needles but tattoo art has always fascinated me and i find Amy's beautiful vintage and retro inspired designs particularly intriguing and refreshing
her work has this perfect mix of sweet delicacy mixed with darker often macabre undertones, lots of pretty flowers overlaying more sinister themes and messages, it's a wonderful mixture and a balance that i think she gets just right in her designs
as somebody who has only recently been asked to design a few tattoos for local clients, i find her work incredibly inspirational and just incredible to look at!
everything from the colours she uses to the way she drafts and shades her designs is enthralling
on paper or skin her designs are sublime, bursting with intricate details, enchanting characters all drafted with her signature flourishes of line and style
i think i've rambled on for long enough now so i'll leave you to look through some more of her work in your own sweet time, enjoy...
isn't it all just glorious!
right time for some links now

you can also see the progress of some of her tattoos via - Tenacious Tattoo
she also has an Etsy shop selling prints of her designs - Amybird

all that's left now is for me to say a massive THANKS to Amy for saying yes about the feature!
i'm not sure if I'll ever be able to pluck up the courage to get a tattoo done but if i ever do, i'm pretty sure i want Amy to design/tattoo it! thanks again :) x
