Yellow Goat Giveaway

No I'm not giving away yellow goats but Yellow Goat Design is having a beautiful giveaway.

So many gorgeous things, you have the chance of winning some pretty tape and some japanese paper goods of your choice. I have a real weakness for this sort of thing.

Hectic times part two

This is the finished card that I gave out to all my Surrey friends. I made it into a postcard so that I could add a personal message to each of them on the back.
We moved last Saturday but it has taken till now to get things sorted, we had no phone, internet, TV, oven and we couldn't find anything amongst all the boxes. Things are much better now. I'm applying a fresh coat of white paint to my new garden studio and hopefully tomorrow will be able to set that up too. Maybe by Monday it will be life as normal...

Hectic times

I am moving in just over a week but only found out today that we definitely had a house to move into. There's nothing like cutting it close... Anyway I've been working on a typography based postcard to give to my friends down here to show I appreciate them and also provide them with my new address. I won't show the finished thing until they've got them but here are some of the elements involved.

Mushie Label

This is the label I've made for the Mushies, they are going to be individually boxed with a greeting card (photos soon I promise). Then I'll sell them in the shop and at craft fairs.

Eash one will be numbered so you will know which one you've got and how many others were made before it.

I have exciting news, I'm moving in October to a bigger place so I'll have a studio at home. I'll also be closer to friends and family which will be magic.

Plant a Sunset Garden - Custom Munny

I've finished 'Plant a Sunset Garden' the red Munny I've been planning for a while, she's all varnished and re-assembled and here she is:
I'm so super proud. Doesn't she look just perfect next to 'Plant a Moonlight Garden'? They have been lots of fun to do, am really tempted to paint more.
They are both available in my new shop - ickleshop.com

Owls Glorious Owls

Don't know if you remember this post well here is the finished project:
A collection on little owl pots, each with their own character. I'll be adding them to the shop soon and they will come with small owl gift cards. They just make me smile. I'll let you know when they're in the shop.

Plant a Moonlight Garden - Custom Munny

Here is the finished Munny, he’s been finished a while and has stood looking out of my front window. 'Plant a Moonlight Garden' is my first Dunny custom, painted in acrylics, in delicious blues, greens and purples. You can see my brush strokes but I prefer it that way - signs of how something was created and the hands that did it, if I wanted a more polished and slick version then I would buy a mass produced, machine printed Munny designed by someone else... this little guy however was lovingly customised by me. I really enjoyed painting him so much that I’ve decided to paint a friend for him, in red, and I have a few Dunnys to play with too. Huzzah!

Sneaky peaky

I've been spending a lot of my time just painting at the moment, I'm really enjoying it. I seem to spend most of my week on the computer for one reason or another so getting my hands dirty (well, painty really) is supremely satisfying. Here we have some more mushrooms and a Munny I'm working on. Don't worry - the Munny will have arms eventually.
