Jaymie O'Callaghan

If you haven't already noticed, I have a brand spanking new header for my blog with a nice little illustration of me from this post. The amazingly talented girl behind my header, is the lovely Jaymie O'Callaghan.
I first met Jaymie at the #ldnbloggermeet back in September and we've stayed in touch via twitter ever since. Jaymie has recently taken the massively brave step quit her boring day job to go for full time self employed freelancer. One of the things I've learnt from blogging is that the community won't grow unless we all support each other in our quests, whether that's trying to gain a career from blogging, or using your blog to showcase your talents to either gain employment or to able to work from home. I believe in this so much that I decided to support Jaymie in the first few days of going freelance by requesting a custom design header hand drawn with her magic hands, and I couldn't be happier! I didn't give her much to work on, but somehow she manage to create exactly what I was looking for!
My two current favorite illustrations by Jaymie are these two:

Though Jaymie is not content with just doing fantastic illustrations of her icons, she also does illustrated and hand made jewellery, which you can also commission her to make custom pieces, all of which can be purchased here.My three favorite jewelry items are these three, the first two are examples of jewelry she has custom designed for other people.How cute is this little bottle with teeny tiny hearts in?!What do you think of Jaymie's work? Fancy a custom piece of art or jewellery? Let me know what you think! I definitely think my money has been well spent!In the mean time you can contact Jaymie here:Jaymie's BlogJaymie's TwitterJaymie's ShopJaymie's Illustrations Facebook
