A sneak preview...

Here's a sneak preview of my eight new card designs (front and back). I think they complement each other very well and also cater for different tastes and occasions. Nature plays a big part in the collection as it is a major inspiration. I plan to expand the series by adding more designs to suit the seasons as well as themes, such as woodland wildlife, which is extremely popular at the moment. 

The embellishments will enhance the nature element of the designs and bring some colour and pattern to them, but mainly they will bring a handmade feel to them.

An ideal gift to celebrate the arrival of Spring!

VALENTINA...

It has been another successful show at Room 212!

To everyone who supported me throughout the week: thank you for showing so much interest in my art and ideas, and kindly buying my works! Much love X

         

SMALL WORLDS

I have started a series of small canvases on which I am stitching the outline of animal shapes. 

I don't want the embroidery to be perfect, the aim here is to mimic paint drops and, by using this method, place them in line to form an image, something that I have never done before, but thought about for some time. 

The first one had to be a rhino:

My new designs are now on sale on Etsy

RHINOMANIA

Here is a beautiful rhino at Longleat Safari Park. Another inspiration for a drawing...

TRUE ICONS IN BATH

Here are a few pictures of Bath Guildhall before the premises were open to the public for the Art fair on 14 July. It was lovely to chat to the other stall holders and learn about their creative journey. Also, it was great to receive such a positive feedback from the visitors and sell something...
