1. British Craft Trade Fair

   Posted on 8:59am Monday 20th Apr 2015

   

   I'm just back from 3 days at the Britush Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate where I was selling my cards and prints to lots of lovely shops and galleries from around the country.  I spoke to outlets from the Isle of Harris in the far north west and from others who had come from as far south as Cornwall. There were 500 designers of different disciplines at the show with everything from ceramics, jewellery, prints, cards and metal work on show.  If you ever get the chance to go it really is a feast for the eyes.  Anyway, now I need to get on with making up some of those orders...

2. New Greetings Cards

   I've been working on a few new designs for greetings cards...this one is called "Curiousity." When I was out yesterday I saw quite a few butterflies going around so this image feels appropriate for the time of year.  I'm off to the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate this weekend and I've still lots to do to get ready.  I'm hoping to get a few new outlets in England buying my cards and prints.  I'll let you know how I get on...meantime it's back to the printing of trade packs!

3. New Work

   I've been busy putting some new work together some of which will be turned in to cards in time for my attending the British Craft Trade Show next month.  As usual it's all go.  The painting above is just finished and it doesn't have a title yet so it's just Hedgehog and Moose for now. The day after I painted this there was a real mouse scuttled out from under the sofa!  It's the first time I've ever seen a mouse in our house...strange coincidence.
