Well hello there! The time is nigh for the exhibition I'm taking part in next week. I've made some cards this time to sell alongside the main paintings. I've used recycled card and envelopes which was a mean feat to find in white let me tell you! If they're successful, I could make some more to sell in my Etsy shop after the exhibition. What do you think? They're going to be £2.50 each which is more than I'd like to charge but the gallery takes 30% so you can see why I have to charge a teeny bit extra. :) Many galleries take 50% so this isn't unexpected! Meanwhile, if you'd like to buy really affordable postcards of my work, please click here. :) Those of you who know Moo will appreciate the good quality prints they produce! My paintings are just about ready to deliver, the inventory is typed and printed, cards are with their envelopes and in their cello sleeves, so away we go! The exhibition's going to be at the Grant Bradley ...

I've been so busy the last few days listing my new postcards that are now available in the shop . It takes a while to get them ready for Etsy as I'm sure lots of you with your own Etsy shops know! I have lots of different designs, some you might remember from recent paintings that I've shown you. Here's a preview of a just few of them...   As you can see from the photos, the print quality is top notch!  These are just a taster, I have lots more designs to choose from and if you click  here  you can see them all. :) The reverse side is a regular postcard so you could send them in the mail or frame them as artwork for your wall, or combine the two by sending one through the mail as a gift to a friend. They're only $2.50 each (that's £...

I've recently had some little button badges made from my illustrations and listed them in Etsy . I tried to photograph them outside in the garden yesterday but what with the wind and various insects wanting to get in on the act I gave up in the end and took this pictures indoors! The badges are 25mm wide (1 inch) and will arrive as a set of 4, inside a pretty little ice-blue organza gift bag. I've had my original watercolours for sale too but now have a lovely set of them printed as postcards so I can sell them at a much more affordable price! $2.50 each (that's about £1.50). Not bad eh? The printers have done an excellent job and the colours are lovely and bright. I'm really pleased with them! CLICK HERE for a peep :)
