Blog problems

Hello there.....

As some of you will be aware there are some issues at present with those of us who publish our blogs via FTP - I'm not sure what it's all about but Techno Tim my computer guy says from 26th March I'll no longer be able to publish my existing blog & we'll have to copy it over & archive the old stuff?

As I have just tried to put some pictures on of my new card designs with no success I may well go a bit quiet on the blog front until it's all sorted??

I have just set up a Facebook account so will keep that up to date....there are the new cards on there plus lots of my Caribbean pics!

Mother's Day Designs

As Valentine's is nearly upon us I thought I'd plan ahead & get my Mother's Day designs prepared..... I'm printing these on the cream card like the Animal Alphabet etc. I might go back & introduce some pink or orange areas at a later date. At least I have some to put on the shelves after the weekend!

VALENTINE CARDS!

Valentine cards are now in production!!

Valentine Designs

These are the Valentine designs I was working on yesterday......

I'll probably add some stamped lettering (like on the animal alphabet designs) to the final greetings cards. It's a beautiful bright sunny day but my feet are a 'little chilled' at the studio!! A fab huge snowman has appeared at The Fold - I must remember to bring my camera tomorrow...I don't think he'll melt overnight as they are talking about -14 degrees again!

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!

It's all a bit frantic at the studio at the moment! I'm trying to make as many metalwork panels & pictures as possible for next week as I have 2 events booked for the weekend, plus a delivery for an exhibition.

On the list of things to do also are Christmas cards.....

These are some of the metalwork designs I'm doing this year. I'm mounting them as with my other cards on window mounts on smaller size cards. They will be approx 10cm x 10cm cards in red, green or cream. Priced at £3 each. I am producing some of the designs in etched copper in addition to the usual etched brass.

There should be a selection out in the studio by this weekend!!

More Animal designs...

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

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!
