Tea Towels

I've just sent off this design to be screen printed in two colours onto unbleached cotton tea towels.  It was quite a challenge to work on a design that would work at a size much larger than I'm used to working.  Hopefully they should arrive in about three weeks, just in time for my Christmas Show.

Postcards arrived

4000 postcards have just arrived.  They are for promoting the Cambridge Christmas 11 show.  So I've just divided them up between the 17 artists taking part and we will be distributing them over the next month.  Let me know if you'd like one.  There are two designs.

Other uses for wrapping paper

I came across the really creative use for my strawberry wrapping paper on the jumble and jelly blog.

October 2011 - new product release

Here are my latest designs published by Phoenix Trading.  Two paper-chains, a frieze card and two cards featuring cakes.

Cool Cakes - these were based on several of the cakes my son has had for his birthdays over the last few years. The racing car cake is based on the card (DC34) I designed for Phoenix. One of the traders then made into a cake and now it's on a card again!

Great Cakes - my daughter has had several of these cakes for her birthday.  I know a chicken is fairly unusual for a cake, but we keep a few hens in our garden. I used real feathers for the tail, but they were from an art shop, not from our chickens. Always having fresh eggs means we make lots of cakes!

New Facebook page

I have also launched a new facebook page, which has just reached 150 'likes'.

Now 17 artists

The Cambridge Christmas 11 show on 21st November now has 17 artists taking part.  We also have a new website if you follow this link.  Admission is free and there will be mulled cider and mince pies to add to the festive atmosphere.  I will be selling my new Christmas cards, wrapping paper, hand made gift tags, coasters and my new pebble inspired prints.

There are some photos on my blog showing last years event.
