The Great Cantini!

Here's something I've been working on as a bit of light relief during the holidays. Watching a biopic of Tommy Cooper last night I thought I'd create my own magician! No fez though, that's Tommy's  thing. I wanted it in an art-deco poster style, so I might add a few faux details about a show he'll be in, could be quite fun!

Delapre Abbey Craft Fair is tomorrow!

It's come round awfully quickly but tomorrow it's Craft Fair time! So if you're in the Northampton area come and have a look, it opens at 10 and closes at 4. Hope to see you there!

My Etsy shop will be closed tomorrow, but I'll be re-opened on the 28th :D

it's beginning to look a lot like...

...Christmas! And this year I'm in a good mood because I've actually got myself sorted out, the first year this has ever happened. My Etsy shop has been updated, and even includes a festive banner specially for my seasonal shoppers. Also, here's one of my card designs for this year (which is also available in pink, red and gold and is sold as a pack of 4, for £10) and my cute little felt hearts (2 for £6)

Not long now until my stall will be appearing at the Delapre Abbey Christmas Fair in Northampton, on the 27th of November, come visit! I've prepared tons more cards and all my Etsy stuff will be there too.

I do love Christmas :D

greetings cards now on etsy!

They arrived! My cards from moo.com. I'd used Moo in the past for business cards but whilst reading the fabulous and very talented Rebekah Leigh Marshall's blog found that she had some cards printed from there and they look gorgeous! Thought I'd give Moo a go for cards too after being recommended :) The quality is amazing and the colours have come out really well so I'm very chuffed with them indeed. These 5 are now for sale on my Etsy shop at £2.50 each, will definitely be getting more printed soon!

'mail' - illustration friday

although it's probably a tad late to be doing christmas cards, at this time of year this is the best mail to be getting :)
have a very merry and arty christmas all, and a productive new year!

it's november?!

before you know it it's christmas, and i do not want last years panic of 'i haven't even started my christmas cards!'
so, i have started already! here are the sketches of the first 2, i'm not sure how many designs to aim for (as many as i have time for i guess!)
