The World is a Great Place

Every now and then I’ve done some lovely trades on Etsy for some artwork or jewellery and it has always been a positive experience. This past week I got two of the sweetest packages…Firstly a beautiful photograph from Simonamilona in Spain:

And then this amazing embroidery based on a Picasso drawing, which I fell in love with, by Emily.

She was beyond sweet to create a necklace embroidery based on one of my drawings. Oh MY! I’m so lucky!

And how great is the world when you can trade artworks across the globe with such beautiful people?

 

Plate Portraits!

I keep mentioning my haul of art materials from Xmas… the fun continues! I was given some Porcelain Pens for drawing straight onto ceramics (see below post for another mention) but I thought I might try out some custom portraits onto them for long lasting fun… And some good gifts for some friends who recently got engaged and my sis who had a baby. portraitbaby2

After a long hiatus, I’m back on Etsy having fun with this little Gelli printer and illustrations. I feel like I need a lot more work to make the Etsy space sellable… tagging and promoting and the like, but for the moment it’s an easy way to share my latest bits and bobs – I seem to be making a lot at the moment, go new year’s inspiration go!

Custom Portraits


Recently I’ve begun doing custom portraits, beginning with my friend Kerry who commissioned me to draw a family portrait of her sister, baby and hubby. Kerry is a star as she is always has faith in my work, and seems to be the first to invest in my work – whether it be for her website or family portrait! Thanks Kerry. :)

Anyway, since then I’ve had a few more a really loved to create them – it’s really an honour to be asked. I thought I would share this recent one, given to a cat loving lass for her birthday.

Now offering through Etsy.
