Mediterranean & Arabic Sweets: Baklava and Turkish Delight

Some little baklava and turkish delight. I did these alongside a project as they were sketches that didn't make the final cut but I decided to finish them anyway! :)

I enjoyed lots of baklava desserts and turkish delight sweets during travels to Greece, Turkey and Tunisia - have you tried them? Baklava are layers of filo pastry, syrup and ground nuts; the coconut and pistachio flavours are very popular. Authentic Turkish delight really is a "delight" that melts in the mouth, so good!

Tempting Teatime Treats - Cakes, doughnuts and 'vintage' tea room classics

In an attempt to expand and enhance my portfolio, I have been working on some cafe - themed illustrations. I was inspired by a visit to a vintage fair that sprang up in a field just outside of the neighbouring town during the buzz of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.

Here are some more of my drawings, I'm hoping to paint these too. With these, I have designed a menu-style layout that I hope I can complete for my website with all of the finished illustrations, (you can see this on my facebook page in the sketchbook folder!)
