Just setting to to make some greetings cards

Just setting to to make some greetings cards and can’t tell you how delighted I am with the prints from @socialps excellent print quality and colour. Beautifully packed with brown paper ribbon around each bundle and then grease proof paper bags, slightly retro which is delightful – for each bundle, it really feels like @socialps care – a nice note, some stickers, it’s like Christmas. Many thanks Social Print Studio thrilled to bits

The Ochre

This is the place where the ochre used to be crushed for folks like Van Gogh to use it really is that colour.

My own oil paint on hessian, real ochre ground and mixed by me a series of works after visiting Rousillion in France. The Volcanic sunsets.

Magnetack a teeny tiny funky idea

A teeny tiny funky idea to put sketches and photos on the wall or on a notice board without putting holes in them. The lovely Bryan at sent me these to try. The pins are smaller than my fingernail and the magnets are half that size but really really strong. Pop the pin in the wall and put the paper in place put the magnet on top to hold it – easy. I’m in the studio later in the week so I’ll post another couple of pics of them in action then. Thanks Bryan?? @themagnetack

Tattoo designs

A delicate feminine look was created for this commission of a butterfly, with Celtic knots woven into the design. If you’re not entirely set on your tattoo design it can be created initially in temporary form. Wear it for a while and see how you feel before taking the plunge. :)
Wedding gift with a difference

This commission was for matching tattoos for a bride and groom. In the first version it incorporated the four initials of the family as they were then. You can see an M at the top with two J’s in the downward strokes, crossed with a flowing H. Then along came child number three and a […]
