Hope everyone's had a great week? I've been beavering away on a few things, one of them being uploading new personalised anniversary cards into my NOTHS shop. NOTHS are now excepting international orders- super duper news for small business owners like myself :)

I've also got 8 new card designs that I'm currently finishing off and hope to show you soon. I've been hand embossing a few of them- a process I love doing but haven't done for years.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. Bye, bye for now.

The Big Egg Hunt!

I popped into London at the weekend to meet friends and hunt for inspiration and Anna & I managed to spot some of the beautiful Faberge eggs that have been hidden all around London for Easter 2o12. If you want to have a go you can find out more here :)

This little lion keeps popping into my head....I feel a painting coming on :)

Sugar Plum For Paperlink

Hello all :)

A while ago I designed a range of cards for the greetings company Paperlink. There were 12 cards altogether and each of them were embellished with pretty add ons. Here are a few for you to see.

One giveaway & one lovely song...

Hello all! In my last post I wrote about some exciting news and today I wanted to let you know that I have the last two limited edition prints up for grabs. I took a few out of the pile & I have no. 39 & 40 to give away. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below & then if you're super lucky & your name's drawn from the hat I'd really appreciate it if you could include it in a blog post or link to me & John Crane on Twitter :) Good luck! I'll announce the winner next Monday.

I'll leave you with a new song one of my favourite bands has just recorded with The Chieftains for their 50th anniversary record- Voice Of Ages. The Low Anthem recorded Ewan McColl's song "School Days Are Over" which you can see & hear here. I love it- hope it makes you go warm & fuzzy too :)

John Crane

I have some really exciting news! For a few months now I've had the privilege of working with wooden toy company John Crane to develop their Tidlo range. I'm working closely with their toy/product designer to create decorations & a range of characters for their new products. I'm super excited about it as there is something really special about seeing your products in 3D!!! Plus I have a thing about wooden toys- LOVE them! I buy them new & old- from shops, car boots & charity shops whenever I can for Evie, so for me to be able to see my designs on wood is amazing. The pictures above were taken at the annual trade Toy Fair in London which I visited last month to do a press release with John Crane. We had 50 limited edition panda prints to give away and some were given away via the internet to people in return for reviewing my artwork. The reviews have been so lovely they have really made my day. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write about my artwork- I've pretty much had a permanent smile on my face ever since reading them :) Hopefully I'll have my first Tidlo toy to show you soon!

You can visit John Cranes website here & they are also on Twitter & Facebook.

Have great weekend everyone!
