There were a couple of images next to each other in my favorites which I thought went together really well, and I decided to try to find more to make it into a homepage layout :)

Something completed - for music lovers

Posted about 1 month ago

Some of you might know that as well as occasionally taking pictures, making digital art and painting, I also write music.

I recently finished a composition I’ve been working on since July 2011. It’s a piano trio in 4 movements – a piece for cello, violin and piano. I thought some of my music-loving fellow Bubblers might like to hear it :) You can listen here: http://soundcloud.c…

new music blog!

Posted 3 months ago

Today I made my first blog , which I’m going to use to post about my thoughts and insights into music. I thought some people on here might be interested to see what I post :) I’ve only just created the blog and it’s very much still in progress, so the layout may change a bit, and there’s only one post so far. However, I intend to post more things soon, and hopefully keep i…

got my 'fears and tears' blurb book!

Posted 6 months ago

Some of you might remember I turned my 2012 sketchbook into a blurb book not long ago, because I couldn’t bear to have to part with it and I wanted to keep a copy myself :P
Making blurb books always incorporates quite a bit of trial and error. Last year I turned the second half of my 2011 sketchbook into this book . I got that book printed on nice glossy thick paper, with a hardcover and dus…

Posted 7 months ago

I finally finished my Sketchbook the other day! It turned out to have a happy ending, which I wasn’t planning on, but I like it.
After hours of doing a tiny bit of work on it and then having to restart my computer because it was cracking up, doing a tiny bit more work and then restarting again, I finally managed to turn it into a Blurb book …please have a look at it :)
If you’d li…

I’ve been meaning to record the first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata for ages. I finally got round to it today, and I thought some of you who like classical music might like to hear it :)

I've finished writing the Symphony!

Posted 11 months ago

Today I completed the 3rd movement (yes, I did write the 4th movement before the 3rd!)..which means the Thunderstorm Symphony is complete! I can’t quite believe it’s finished. I need to start another one, or maybe a piano concerto or something…I haven’t written anything major for piano yet.

Here’s a link to the completed symphony: here

an important announcement - changing my username!

Posted 11 months ago

I know people sometimes start out not using their real name on the internet because they are shy and feel safer under a pseudonym, but as time goes on they start using their real name.

Some of you might already know that my username Fleur Fleming is a pseudonym. My mum, Soxy Fleming, invented the name when she signed up to redbubble years ago, before I had my own account, and I’ve used it …
