Happy New Year everyone and a very belated merry christmas! Sorry I've not been around, here's a catch up of what's been going on.
We had an extremely busy work fuelled end to 2010 so after the hustle and bustle of christmas we enjoyed a New Year's Eve staying in cooking some yummy food and supping wine. It was lovely, the first new years we've spent just the two of us. Very very relaxing and just what we needed (think the cats enjoyed our company too!)
I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for christmas but I had a little help to get my christmas card done. I came up with the design and
Tom very nicely screenprinted them for me. Even tho I sold a few as christmas cards in the Jamaica Street christmas shop (see below) I think they would work as non-christmas cards, don't you think? So I'm going to do them in a couple more colours and sell them in my
shop as a set. Keep your eyes peeled.
I was very privileged to be a part of
Jamaica Street artists christmas shop, the ArtBox. It was a pop up shop here in Bristol that ran throughout the month of December, selling Jamaica Street artists' artworks, prints, cards, and all manner of handmade products. It was a huge success, I hope some of you managed to get there. For those who missed out, fingers crossed, we might be there again at the end of the year.
So that was the end of 2010, phew, wish I could show you all the work I was up to but you'll just have to wait a while! Already this year there is some very exciting things happening,
one thing is happening right now and I'll tell you about it in my next post and another thing is going to be happening in May (I'll keep you posted ;))
Well, new-ish! This was a piece I did for the joint exhibition I had with my other half, back in May.
Finally it's here... I'm having an end of summer sale in my shop for the whole of September (ends 30th Sept at midnight). Make sure you take advantage of 15% off everything, just enter the discount code SUMMERSALE when you get to the checkout.
Phew, after all the rushing around for open studios (see some pics here) and a busy July, things have calmed down now. Last week we had a few hours to spare so spent a lovely afternoon wandering around the gardens of Stourhead House, a beautiful National Trust property in Wiltshire. The weather couldn't have been better either, perfect for clearing the head!
More things in the shop! First up another little lady made with a lovely, soft jersey fabric. Also added, an archival print of my Llama artwork. Get them while they're hot!

Little ladies in the shop now!! More fabric variations on the way....
Look out for some little people in the shop soon. I've just got to do a few tweaks and they'll be ready to go. They are made with vintage fabric and stuffed with fibrefill, some will have lavender in them, and finished off with a couple of vintage buttons. Hope you like!
Yes my shop is indeed now open! I'm selling prints at the moment but if anyone is interested in buying the original artworks just let me know. Fingers crossed it's all functioning as it should be, happy shopping!!
So I managed to get everything photographed for my online shop. It's gonna be up real soon, just adding a few more bits of info then I can go live! Eeeek!
