It’s official and it’s right around the corner!!!

I’ve been plotting and planning this little adventure for months and months and it’s only recently sunk in that it’s happening in less than 2 weeks!!! (slight panic)

I present to you, via The Malt Cross Gallery (Nottingham), a group show featuring art work and loveliness by Gemma Correll, Lizzy Stewart, Helen Entwisle, Jen Collins, Gemma Latimer and myself.

The opening evening starts from 4pm and there will be a lovely little table of artist books and zines available for you to purchase. Everyone’s welcome! Come along and say hello! Also, spread the word!!

PS – Here’s a link to a little article I got in the local Left Lion paper. Says a little bit about what to expect from my corner of the show.

I’m having a weird day today. Is anyone else feeling that? Maybe there’s a storm-a-comin’. I think it’s been a weird start to the month in truth which is probably why I’ve been so quiet on here, sorry about that! I did find out that 3 days of pure procrastination means you end up with a comfy crochet shawl – so it can’t be all bad. I’ll get some pictures of it to show you. I’m a mixture of ‘pleased as punch’ and ‘guilt ridden’ because I probably shouldn’t have spent 3 days playing about with wool…

Anyway! Even though today’s been an odd one I did mange to squeeze out a new design for a new card that is slowly making its way into the shop! Can’t say no to a cat lady!

A smaller version of a familiar print is now in the shop! Priced at £12, measures 8.3″ x 8.7″ (A4) it’s ready for framing. It will arrived signed on the back and wrapped up safely in a hard back envelope. I’ve missed this print and it was one of my favourites so it’s made me really happy to see it return to the shelves. The Larger version, which many of you have been asking about over the months, will return one day but I can’t say when. As soon as I have enough space and the right machines to make it :)

I’ve also released a limited edition print in blue! This has a print run of only 25 and once they’re gone they’re gone. Available here!

Three NEW cotton spools are now in the shop!* Lovely little ornaments ready to hang, each priced at £8. Hope you like!

* They went so quickly! I’ll have some more available soon.

I finished painting 4 new cotton spools today. They were so much fun to make last autumn/winter and made beautiful little tree decorations – added bonus. These fresh little faces will be in the shop soon so keep your eyes peeled.

I got my tickets for the Classic Thriller Season which takes over Nottingham Theatre Royal this August! HURRAH! I’m WELL excited! I also treated myself to this beautiful Orla Kiely folder – perfect for storing stray doodles… sigh, so pretty.

Boy oh Boy it’s getting busy busy from where I’m sat so to calm things down a little I thought I’d share a test-doodle I’ve just finished. Inspired by the Moscow State Circus who were in town last week, it’s hopefully going to go towards a project I’m part of this summer – really exciting! I’m so pleased with how the test has come out I might even make it into a print! What do you think?

UPDATED – it’s now a print available in the shop!
