More Art on Walls!

Whilst I was away a lovely lady bought some of my cards for a friend and framed them. They look so beautiful and I feel so proud and humbled ... had to share!

When I opened my shop last year, an old friend was one of my first customers. Found this photo on his facebook page and had to share it as well. Thanks Ollie!

We Make London Summer Boutique in Hampstead

Just been visiting the quirky streets and alleyways of beautiful Hampstead, delivering my work to the 'pop-up' shop which will be there over the next week.

Over 200 designers, crafters and creatives applied and 40 of us were chosen. Very exciting to be a part of it! I will be there tomorrow, Satruday 2nd July for the afternoon and into the evening for the fabulous opening night extravaganza. Come and pop your head in if you are around!

You are all invited to the Opening Night tomorrow (Saturday, July 2nd) Come and join us for drinks, nibblies and lots of original objects of art, jewellry, cookies and textiles.

Lots of my prints will be there ... from the Leap of Faith series ...

... cards and bookmarks ...

... to some dreamy transformingbutterflies....

.. and a powerful winter bird in flight ...

Here is a link to the We Make London site with lots of info on the designers and other tit bits.

The shop is up a gorgeous little alleyway, with a fab coffee shop next door that I sampled this morning in the morning sun!

I have been flat out preparing for the past exhibitions and this shop... my home and my studio look like a cross between a market stall and an art installation!

New Cards with Inspirational Words

When I was doing the markets, a lovely lady asked me why I didn't have the sayings I had created for my bookmarks on my cards... so obvious!

Finally I have created them - introducing a new set of inspirational cards with poetic words.


Faith ...
"We can not know what the future holds for us once we take the first step. We must trust... and take the step anyway."















Listen ...
"Listening to the inner self requires stillness and courage ... sometimes the inner self is wilder that the outer! This is where all first steps begin."


















Fly ...
"Once we step out in a leap of faith we often realise that the imagined was much more fearful that reality could ever be."

Balance ...
"True wisdom comes in knowing when to balance the passions of the heart ... with the reason of the head."

Clarity ...
"Sometimes when we search far and wide for the 'answers',we discover that we knew them... all along."
