Crafts not just for Christmas Exhibition

I'm thrilled at the catalogue for the forthcoming crafts exhibition at Worcester City Art Gallery!

You may remember from an earlier post the gallery commissioned me to design & make a piece of jewellery to reflect the theme of the exhibition....a very sad looking cat & dog!

This brooch has been photographed and used for the invite & catalogue plus the actual piece is going to be the prize in a raffle. Entry into the exhibition & gallery is free.

It's lovely to see an image of my work used to promote what should be a fab exhibition. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to attend the opening this Friday as I'll be down in Suffolk but I'll be rushing down to the gallery on Foregate Street in Worcester next week to see the display.

Christmas Cats!

Just been looking through an old folder of designs & found these xmas cats from years ago!!

I don't remember ever putting them into 'production'?

Think they would look groovy as some wrapping paper maybe??

It's funny how you re-discover things....

I'm planning to have a MAJOR sort out after Christmas so who knows what treasures I'll find?

More animals!

Just completed the Welsh alphabet cards. These are the additional designs in English. Slightly more unusual designs than my original alphabet. Rather like the jackdaw which is "Jac-y-Do" in Welsh.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I did my pumpkin last night in preparation!

Still working on the Welsh Animal Alphabet greetings cards...

This batty design is most appropriate for today!

More Animal designs...

3 latest additions to the animal alphabet range .....

Mirrors

As the Animal Alphabet badges are proving to be popular I've also got some of the designs made into pocket mirrors....

I'm planning to package some of them alongside the badges which will make a cute gift hopefully.

New Christmas card designs

These are my new Christmas designs for this year... I've done them in the same manner as the Alphabet Animals which is quite different from my metalwork cards. I've really enjoyed doing some drawing again for these. It's far too early to put them out on display yet (unlike in some of the high street stores already!) Christmas displays usually go out in my studio at the end of October!

BADGES part 2

The second set of Animal Alphabet badges has arrived!

Hope these are as popular as the first ones.... I think the mouse is favourite here.

ANIMAL BADGES

These new badges have just arrived!

I've used some of my favourite animal designs from the latest Alphabet Animal card range & made them into cute button badges...

Sold some from the studio already & had really nice comments about them. So I've put the next 5 designs into production & they should be available soon!

Priced £1 each

Animal Alphabet Greetings Cards

These are my latest greetings card designs which I've been working on since our visit to Cornwall in March this year. I did some sketching for the idea then & while at the Hampen exhibition recently finally got round to finalising the designs. I particularly like the butterfly, owl, snail, mouse & tiger designs. The next plan is to look into producing a poster & possibly a children's colouring in book!?
