CHUCKLE

This design always makes me chuckle, I never sold it probably 'cos it's a little bit rude! Anyway Happy Christmas to everybody in Blogland hope you all have a brilliant time!x

SPEC DESIGN

PET SPIDERS

For fun I painted some little spiders on pebbles to sell at the last Craft Fair I did with the Chorley Contemporary Crafters in October and I sold them all within a couple of hours, so I've painted some more for our next fair on Sunday Dec 4th at The Coach House, Astley Park, Chorley.

HANDMADE CHRISTMAS CARDS

I've decided to make my own Handmade Christmas Cards this year. I'll also be selling them at our next Chorley Contemporary Crafters Craft Fair on the 4th December.

Ladies

It will happen to us all one day!

Recent commission

I was recently commission to do some humour designs, 10 in all but here are just 4, I really enjoyed doing them in a different style than I usually do.

Crafty Mirrors

As the kids are still off school I don't get much proper work done so we've been busy doing crafty stuff. Here are couple of mirrors we made. They will come in handy when I do my next craft stall with Chorley Contemporary Crafters.

PRINT

One of my favourite sayings!

CHRISTMAS DESIGNS

I've only been back a few days from my weeks holiday in Ibiza and already I'm designing Christmas Cards, feels really weird when it's sun shining outside.

Tigerprint Competition

Here are my entries for the Tigerprint Male Pattern Competition. I'm off on holiday tomorrow to Ibiza with my 2 girls, really looking forward to the break!

PUNCHLINE

Can you guess what the punchline is?

Funky t-shirts

It was a rainy weekend, so we went to the local craft shop and decided to have a go a designing some t-shirts and a bit of tye dyeing. These are the ones my daughter designed, she put them on her Facebook page to show her friends and received about 5 orders (little entrepeneur in the making) LOL.

Home Sweet Home

I did this artwork to make into a print but I haven't got round to it yet.

My First Craft Fair

I had a table at my first ever Craft Fair with the Chorley Contemporary Crafters. I took loads of photos but forgot to take one of my own table, here are a few I did take:


but here is one of my funky mirrors I made that I had on my table:

Tigerprint Competition

Here's my entry for the latest Tigerprint Competition 'Word up'

TEENAGERS

Teenagers!!! I've been through it once. It seems to have started early with my 12 year old, I'll be glad when she's 18 and she's my best friends again!

Papercut

Yes, sorry to say I cheated again!

New Designs

Here are a couple of new Baby designs, as you know I love lettering.

Papercut

I admire all those people who do fantastic paper cut designs, the painstacking hours it takes and soar fingers. I'm sorry to say I cheated!

My own cards

I've designed my own cards for my first up and coming Craft Fair with the Chorley Contempory Crafters.

Smile

Start every day with a SMILE!

PRINT

Here's another print idea. I'm off to Ikea tomorrow 'cos they have some really cool frames and they're not expensive, I'll probably come home with loads off other stuff though!

PRINTS

I'll be doing my very first craft fair on the 6th June with The Chorley Contemporary Crafters, Here are a couple of prints I've just finished, what do you think?

Baby Designs

Here are 2 New Designs I recently did for The Original Poster Company.

Little girls

The sunshines out, so it's time to get of the computer and start playing outside. Yippee!

HELP!

I've been commissioned to design some really rude cards like the one above, all the Captions are male:
Dad
Son
Son-in Law
Brother
brother-in Law
Uncle
I've thought of a few ideas but I'm really struggling. Has anybody got any ideas?

A little bit different

With the kids off school this week I don't get much time for work, so I've been sneaking little half hours here and there, just playing around in photoshop and this is what happened.

Chorley Contemporary Crafters

Went to my first meeting with Chorley Contemporary Crafters on Saturday. I had a lovely day chatting with all the lovely talented girls/ladies and they made me feel really welcome. I've always wanted to get into having a craft stall at an Art Fair but could never really find the time but the kids are getting older now and it's time for some ME time. I better get my arty crafty head on! Check out their blog here.

Happy Valentines Day

This is a painting I did a while ago. I scanned it into photoshop and cleaned it up but I still think it's a little dull in colour.
