Here in the North East UK we have many Charity Ball events to raise money for good causes. Many of these include Fashion Shows, and there always seem to be plenty in the run up to Christmas. <br />

As well as drawing caricatures of the guests at these Charity Ball events, when they arrive and are milling around in the bar and lounge area, or are seated around their tables, I draw what I call 'Catwalk Caricatures' of the models as they parade down the catwalk in their finery. <br />

Sometimes they are professional models. At other events they are local people, or celebrities such as footballers from a regional team. <br />

Whether head and shoulders caricatures or full length caricatures, I have to be very quick! Each caricature of a still person takes around 3 - 5 minutes, and I have to be even speedier with the models as they are striding down the catwalk! <br />

With caricatures it is the person's face that is particularly important - to get a 'likeness' yet stylised or 'cartoonised'. This differs from fashion drawings where the focus is on the garment. With my Catwalk Caricatures I try to do a bit of both! Sometimes it is difficult to see the model's face too well as they zoom past often at quite a distance away. On other occasions they stand and 'pose' for a while which makes it easier!<br />

Here in the North East UK we love our Hallowe'en parties and events
where there is spooky fun for all the family. Time to get my witches
hat, cape and face paints out. As a caricaturist I go all over the
North East doing caricatures as part of the entertainment at events
ranging from family fun days to corporate events to parties, so
Hallowe'en is a busy time. (I've not done a Hallowe'en themed wedding
yet - but one day maybe!) People love to be drawn in their fancy dress
outfits, (or or as spooky characters), and I have named these
caricatures 'Spookicatures'.<br />

Sitting outside in the mellow September sunshine surrounded by
multitudes of 3D Christmas cards is my idea of a distinctive day! It
sounds rather quirky and whimsical, but it is actually a very busy time
of year for card orders and I'd rather be working outside in the fresh
air than indoors.<br />

Personally I prefer to leave thinking about Christmas until around mid
December - but retailers displays begin very soon, and for those in
search of the ideal Christmas card for a loved one, I guess one cannot
start too soon. Three-dimensional cards are often marketed as luxury
Christmas cards, the kind of 'bring-out-every-year' collectible cards
that become Xmas decorations. <br />

There is a lot of work involved in creating 3D cards. Each card is a
highly intricate piece of paper engineering. From the original theme,
for instance, a Victorian market encircled by a Christmas wreath, I have
to design not just the visual look of the card, but also ensure the
components fit together for it to look good flat in the package as well
as fully popped open. The cards are fitted together using tab and slots,
interlocking to make a fully three dimensional Christmas card. A
fraction of a millimetre out, and it won't stand up!<br />

Once the paper engineering has been worked out, I work on detailed
paintings in water colour - usually 4 or 5 separate paintings for each
card, which all have to be scanned and printed, then die cut. And then
assembled ...<br />

The cards featuring Christmas wreaths such as the Whimsical Woodland
range or the Traditional vintage style range are the most complicated.
The Fairy Christmas Tree was also quite a creative challenge as it has a
squarish structure that can be seen from lots of angles, so there has
to be a point of interest from each view and lots of little scenes built
into one..<br />

I love to sit surrounded by all the cards. It's like being in a winter
wonderland - yet basking in the golden autumn sunshine. I hope it is as
warm in December! <br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The elegant art of silhouette cutting goes back in history and has lost none of its charm today. A simple black silhouette can capture so much of the sitter - which is all the more surprising in that it only takes Ingrid around 3 - 5 minutes to cut! Using small scissors, each silhouette is cut out of specialist black coated paper, which entertains the onlookers and provides the sitter with a unique memento of the special occasion.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Ingrid cuts simple silhouettes 'on-the-spot' at weddings and other events. She uses specialist black coated silhouette paper which has a very fine grain.</span> Each silhouette takes around 3 - 5 minutes to cut - fascinators and elaborate hairstyles take longer than smooth hair.</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">In preparation for her forthcoming 'Sylvan Landscapes' exhibitions, Ingrid talks about her outdoor working materials & equipment</span></b></span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;">As
an artist and writer I have always preferred to work for most of the
time outdoors in the landscape through all the seasons, whether creating
landscape & sylvan inspired work or other non-related subjects. I
find the natural environment so inspiring and being outside stimulates
creativity. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #fff2cc;">People
frequently ask me what materials and equipment I use. This depends on
the kind of work I am creating - the only constant is plenty of hot tea!
Here I will show the materials I use to create quite small sylvan
works, meaning I don't have to carry a lot of heavy equipment, and I can
work standing up thus not needing to take a seat. The above selection
of watercolour 'Work in Progress' ranges from A4 size down to tiny
images. They are all works I am in the process of creating for
forthcoming exhibitions.</span></span>

<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">*****</span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;">I
like to use spiral bound or gummed books of paper. For watercolour I
prefer interesting surfaces that give a textured effect to the paint.
When creating drawings I love to use Ingres Pastel Paper with its lovely
tinted shades. I especially like to use a type of pencil called Derwent
Drawing Pencils (see box in above image) which come in wonderful earthy
colours. Also Conte Crayons (see small oblong boxes above) in very
short lengths so they can be used sideways to create large areas of
colour. </span></span></div>

<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;">Although
I use a normal sized paintbox when out on daily working excursions, I
find this tiny frog-decorated children's paintbox really useful to carry
round at all times. This means I can paint when inspired on any
occasion - even when out for a meal or shopping! I removed the cheap
paints and replaced them with Artist's Watercolour from tubes, which I
allowed to dry before closing the lid. A small eyeliner brush fits
nicely into the box too!</span></span></div>

Throughout the festive season Ingrid has been busy at parties & events, drawing caricatures of the guests. Ingrid has created a special style of caricatures that she has named<span style="color: #fff2cc;"> </span><span style="color: #fff2cc; font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Glamicatures </span></b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span></span> in which she flatters the people she is drawing, making them look glamorous. Her amusing drawings are very popular, and people like to frame them for the office and home. Typical comments include 'Ooh you've taken 20 years off me!' 'You've made me look really glamorous!' 'It looks like me - yet much nicer too!'.</div>

Ingrid painted her design onto the giraffe sculpture in April this year in the Giraffe House at Colchester Zoo! Her design is based on her giraffe characters the Neckmann family and their home Necky Knoll House on Giraffe World planet in Camelopardalis Constellation. Nextra-terrestrial is an intergalactic portal to our world ...<br />

even dyes her fur that colour!) Mountain Warehouse certainly has plenty
of lovely bright clothes and she thoroughly enjoyed herself looking at

Satisfied with her choices, Necky Becky left the money by the till and
went to show her purchases to the rest of us. I took everyone for a ride
to our Giraffe World planet, so Necky Becky could take Hals on his
favourite walk wearing her lovely new Mountain Warehouse boots.<br />

What an eventful few hours this has been! After spending many days in
storage with all the other giraffes, passing the time chatting and
playing games, we were suddenly all loaded onto transporters to go to
our new homes for 12 weeks ...<br />

After what seemed like quite a long journey I was left standing in
unknown surroundings. I felt very alone. Where were all my giraffe
friends? Were there any humans here?<br />

"Stand Tall," I said to myself, feeling a tear roll down my neck.<br />
<br />
Then suddenly I was surrounded by friendly, welcoming people! They
smiled at me, put their arms round my neck and posed for photographs
with me. There was a lovely feeling of celebration. "Welcome!" they
said, "Welcome to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClactonFactoryOutlet">Clacton Factory Outlet</a>, we're so glad to have you here."<br />

This year is Colchester Zoo's 50th birthday and to celebrate the Zoo has launched <a href="http://www.colchester-zoo.com/index.cfm?fa=content.list&page=505&section=22">Stand Tall for Giraffes</a>,
a mass appeal large scale public art event. For 12 weeks during the
summer, Colchester's streets, parks and open spaces will be taken over
by 2.5 metre high giraffes! Artists have been commissioned to create
designs to go on each giraffe, and I was overjoyed when my design
'Nextra-terrestrial' was selected.</div>

My stay in Colchester, which is over five hours train journey from Durham, was very pleasant indeed. I booked in at the <a href="http://www.brook-hotels.co.uk/hotels/red-lion-hotel-colchester">Red Lion Hotel</a>

wooden beams, great character and atmosphere, wonderful friendly staff
and fabulous food. </div>

The audience of the multitudes of visitors to the Zoo appreciated that I

slow down the painting process, but it is such an important part of

It was now time to add the hedge which runs around the perimeter of the

Adding the shadow sides of the knolls gave a 3D effect and a sense of

ultramarine blue which I had used on the head and upper neck. (To save

Working to a very tight deadline, one always wonders if one will finish
on time! It was with a great sense of celebration that I put the final
touches to Nextra-terrestrial knowing that I would be able to meet the
deadline, completing the work to my satisfaction. I am a bit of a
perfectionist and like to do a 'nexcellent' job!</div>

I took these last 3 photos on the Saturday morning, while
Nextra-terrestrial was being professionally photographed - I was
standing to the side so the backdrop is not central, but I think this
gives a kind of ethereal 'floating off in space' effect!</div>
<div style="color: #fff2cc;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #fff2cc;">
It was difficult to tear myself away, and I patted Nextra-terrestrial on
her neck and wished her a fond farewell. I'm so looking forward to
seeing her when she is on show in Colchester during the summer!</div>
<div style="color: #fff2cc;">

<div style="color: #fff2cc;">
During the painting process I had been far too busy to see the rest of
the Zoo, so job complete, I spent the few hours before my train journey
home exploring. What a treat! Everything about Colchester Zoo, from the friendly and enthusiastic staff and the
well-cared-for creatures to the interesting layout, the imaginative
horticultural plantings and the scrumptious food, is a delight! But best
of all is the giraffe house, with its lovely long-necked inhabitants,
its atmospheric music and its giraffy smell that still clings to my
jackets!</div>

It was with great excitement that the residents of Durham woke up to
find their city covered in the fluffy white of snow. What they did not
realize, however, was that during the night there had been a 'Nextra
Day'! This is a day that does not feature in our human planetary
calendar, but links a distant planet named 'Giraffe World' in
Camelopardalis Constellation with our Earth. The long-necked
Camelopardalian creatures can visit our world unseen and enjoy some of
our top tourist destinations all to themselves.<br />

Ingrid has been working on some unusual and interesting projects, which began with a portrait of the Mayor of Durham as a giraffe! Commissioned by Durham Markets Company, the painting was presented to the Mayor on her last day of office. Durham Markets' <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150186548608859&set=pu.99352143858&type=1&theater">Facebook page </a>gives details of the event.<br />
<br />
Further 'giraffication' of the Market can be seen behind the Mayor! The giraffes, who appear to be on their way into the Market to do their shopping, are part of mural that Ingrid is working on for Durham Markets.<br />

These were initially launched at the Craft Fairs run by Durham Markets so it is a real 'coming home' for the giraffes to feature in the entrance!<br />

Ingrid will be working on the mural in between all her other projects, and more of the favourite giraffe characters will gradually be added!<br />

<span style="color: #33ccff;">Read about the adventures of Hals the Neckshund during one of Ingrid's storytelling sessions at the Botanic Garden!</span><br />
<br />
Wednesday 1st of June 2011 was another nextra special day at the University of Durham Botanic Garden. Once again, Necky Becky travelled all the way from Giraffe World to take part in a story-telling session with Ingrid. This time she brought her beloved neckshund dog Hals with her, and her toddler brother Littl' Nicky too!<br />
<br />
They were all very nexcited to arrive at the secret portal behind the Intergalactic Cacti.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

During the storytelling Hals got very hungry and decided to pop back home to get some of his favourite biscuits.<br />
<br />
He went to the Intergalactic Cacti, but though he tried and tried, he couldn't get the secret portal to Giraffe World to appear!<br />
<br />

"Oh dear!" he said to himself. "I'm so very hungry. I wonder if there are any nice biscuits in the Botanic Garden?"<br />
<br />
Someone had left the door to the glasshouses a teeny bit open, so he squeezed through into the fresh air.<br />
<br />

There were lots of beautiful flowers in the Garden, and Hals sniffed them. "How lovely!" he said. "But not like biscuits ..."<br />
<br />
<br />

Further along the path he found a big display board. There was plenty of information about trees on it, but no directions to biscuits.<br />

He trotted past the gunnera and stopped for a moment. They looked so huge and the stems were<br />
very prickly-looking, so he decided not to look for biscuits there!<br />
<br />
By now he was feeling tired and very hungry indeed. He wondered if Necky Becky had noticed that he was missing. Maybe she would come and look for him. That would be so comforting.<br />
<br />

Suddenly Hals came face to face with a very strange looking creature. In the shadows under the trees he couldn't tell if it was a fallen log or a huge monster!<br />
<span style="color: black;">*</span><br />
<br />
He turned and ran, looking over his shoulder to see if it was following him. Faster and faster, his little legs moving so quickly you could hardly see them, until he arrived at a big blue door - the Visitors Centre!<br />
<br />

As he stood outside panting, so very tired and thirsty from his mad dash through the garden, one of the ladies in the cafe saw him. She brought him a big bowl of water to drink.<br />
<br />

By this time the story-telling had finished, and how pleased Hals was to see Necky Becky and Littl' Nicky running towards him! Guess what Necky Becky had in her pocket? Some of his favourite biscuits!<br />
<br />
They all sat by the Intergalactic Cacti and waited for their dad, Raph, to collect them.<br />

On Saturday 14th May 2011, (Earth time), a small pink giraffe with a suitcase suddenly appeared in the glasshouses at the University of Durham Botanic Garden. Her name is Necky Becky, and she had travelled all the way from a planet called Giraffe World in Camelopardalis Constellation.<br />

The adventures of Necky Becky and her family, the Neckmanns, were the subject of special May Madness story-telling sessions by Ingrid Sylvestre. Necky Becky stood patiently, (well sometimes a little grumpily!), while the stories were told. She did enjoy being admired by all the children and their families though!<br />

Necky Becky very helpfully went outside to make sure everyone knew where the entrance to the glasshouse was.<br />
<br />
However, she had also heard about the lovely cafe at the Botanic Gardens, and decided to go and visit it by herself.<br />

One of the main Secret Intergalactic Portals to Giraffe World is arched with birch trees, and we thought maybe Necky Becky was feeling a little homesick. We decided it was time for her to go home.<br />

Ingrid walked with Necky Becky to the entrance to the new woodland area, and there under the birch archway, she was safely transported across the galaxies to her own planet.<br />
<br />
Her little neckshund dog, Hals, was nexcitedly waiting for her on the other side. In the distance their family home Necky Knoll House stood welcoming, and Necky Becky thought she could smell mushroom noodle bake cooking! She ran happily all the way home.<br />

Grey Towers, which became Poole Hospital and is now privately owned, is an important part of Cleveland's heritage. Ingrid's talks cover it's history to the present day and her presentations are illustrated with many photographs and paintings.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Ingrid moved to North Yorkshire especially to paint the landscape around Grey Towers, Nunthorpe. “I
was introduced to the area while an art student and knew I had to paint
this very special place. There is a unique atmosphere to the land,
and the famous views toward the Cleveland Hills are outstandingly beautiful.
This area has some of the best landscape scenery in the UK. As a
painter I found it overwhelmingly inspiring.”</span></div>

Set in the area close to the Cleveland Hills just south of Middlesbrough, Grey Towers has stunning views. From soft colours at dusk ...<br />

Grey Towers mansion is a familiar landmark across the fields. Built in 1875, it was formerly the home of Sir Arthur J. Dorman 'chief architect of Middlesbrough's fortunes'.<br />

It's extensive grounds were carefully planned using the natural curves of the land to lead the eye to view points.<br />

Many of the features still remain, including the circular yew hedge that once enclosed Sir Arthur's rose garden, set deep in the wood.<br />
