Hello there, I’ve done some little mixed media/paintings that are now available in the shop! From top to bottom let me introduce: Orla, Thora, Amethyst, Jade, Amber and Violet. The paintings themselves are quite small (measuring roughly 3.9 inches x 2.5) but are hovering in the middle of a lovely sheet of heavyweight watercolour paper. They’re made up of a mixture of metallic and non metallic acrylic paint, pencil and ink. 3 of the girls have beautiful copper hair, which doesn’t show up brilliantly in the scans and pictures I’ve taken but in person it looks lovely when it catches the light.

On the tote bag front – MASSIVE thank you’s for getting back to me about colour schemes, I really appreciated that :) I’ve sent in a small order and I’m eagerly awaiting the result. You’ll be the first to know about them when they arrive.

Anyway, it’s been an early start and I’ve managed to get the missions of the morning done and dusted (hope I’ve not spoken too soon). It’s time to prep myself for what I predict to be a horrible day/night at work and that calls for a little crappy TV and some knitting – possibly a chocolate biscuit and a fresh cup of tea too.

Tweet tote – Exclusive for ‘i dress myself’

It’s been aaaaages since my last post! I’m so sorry about that. I’ve wanted to share this little sweet treat with you folks for about a week (and a bit) – if you follow me on twitter it’s probably old news by now, but it definitely deserves a post. Appropriately titled ‘Tweet Tote’ this handy shopper is avalable exclusively through the Nottingham based company I Dress Myself. Photo credits go to the lovely folk at I Dress myself. You can buy online (go on, treat yourself) here! It also means there’s a rather quirkly blurb about my work – check it out –> here!

The move’s taken up so much time and brain power and I’ve failed miserably to document any of it. I promise to have some pictures of the new abode shortly. As for business related news I honestly wasn’t expecting to have the online shops closed this long. As soon as the work space is up and running everything will be functioning just like the good old days. Horray! I also have some new projects on the go which I’m looking forward to sharing with you in the not too distant future. I’ll say no more, have a wonderful weekend!

Some new treasures in the shops (etsy and folksy): Above we have the Urban Forest tote bag! I went and picked them up today, I was really excited and I’m so pleased with the result. I got them done with a local company called I dress myself – I thoroughly recommend them :) They use environmentally friendly water-based inks and are printed on fairtrade cotton bags – nice and sturdy too. Limited edition of 50!

Below: Christmas is around the corner – it’s a large corner but that doesn’t make it any less real ;) Christmas cards are now available in the shops (etsy and folksy) 3 different designs. All cat themed (sorry). I do have a fox themed one but I’m just not 100% certain about it. We shall see what happens.

Illya is settling in :) Her gammy eye is nearly better. I’m pretty sure I’ll bombard you later on with pictures displaying the cuteness. On the shop front, I have a few more treats up my sleeve (I’m hoping one of them hasn’t got itself lost in the post) I’ll keep you well and truly posted!

Have a lovely evening :)
