My New design for my Eco Cotton bags!

I had a very busy week last week but the highlights include…

My latest design for my Eco Cotton Bags arrived! It is taken from my original image ‘Quicker by Rail – to Emerald City’ inspired by the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! I choose a vivid green to for the cotton bag to make the design look vibrant whilst also tying in the theme of the Emerald City!

 I launched them at the Dickensian Festival in the Bridlington Old Town on Sunday 24^thNovember and was a great success! Here are a couple of images from my stall at the festival!

 

If you come and visit me at my next events leading up to Christmas you will find many special offers- whilst stocks last!!!

 

A sad little tail that has a happy ending!

In August I donated a picture to the Rain Rescue Animal Shelter Charity (www.facebook.com/RainRescue) for an auction/ exhibition called ‘Don’t Judge a Dog by its Collar!’ to take place in October. The picture I donated was an original picture that I had created of our dog Timmy for my 2012 Christmas Card. The giving of this picture became particularly poignant as our old boy died just before the auction so I really wanted the picture to find a good home as it meant so much to me and I was happy that the money raised would go to help other rescued dogs as Timmy himself was a little rescued boy.

The auction ended on Sunday 20^th October and in the end raised the great amount of £2541.00 with all the money going directly to Rain Rescue in Sheffield.

We believe in giving rescue dogs a home and so now that a little time has passed we began to search for a new little sole to save! The little dog had to be just right for us and vice versa! Eventually we found one we wanted to meet in a rescue centre a little bit closer to our home than Sheffield!

We instantly fell in love with him. So it is with great pleasure that I tell you that we will be collecting our new little friend up in less than a week’s time!

The Big Draw 2013

On Saturday 12^th October I was at Beverley Art Gallery leading this years ‘The Big Draw’ 2013. We had a fantastic time with lots of fun, lots of laughs and most importantly lots of drawing!

The participants observed from a life model sat amongst a still life. The model was excellent and sat for long poses for an hour at a time. Between 10am – 3pm, people dropped by with some staying for one sketch and others stayed to create many more!

We had students, children and adults visiting all coming together to create and draw! Here are some pictures from the day!

They are available to buy through selected stockists and directly from me.
