PREVIEW - Snow & Sparkle Festive Deer Cards

I would like to share with you some of the newest wildlife subjects brought to life with pen and ink in the form of festive greetings cards. 

 
As you can see I do enjoy sketching a deer or two and here I have added some festive sparkle as a nod to the Christmas season - who doesn't enjoy a bit of fairy dust?

They will be available to order shortly, once I've finalised the details!

Feel free to browse the Christmas Cards already available to buy online.

New Stocking Fillers!

As the festive season approaches, Christmas Fayres are popping up all over the place.  You know the sort, enticing smells, loads of colour and that distinctive buzz in the air..  The weekends have become gift shoppers delight with such new choice and variety - whether it's the continental cheese, venison burgers, handmade soaps or arts & crafts that draws you, there's something for everyone.
I recently spent a pleasant afternoon at the Christmas Fayre at Vallum Farm in Northumberland.  Surrounded in an expanse of the farmer's freshly ploughed fields,  and sunlit by the wintery afternoon sun Vallum Farm was a delight (visit my Inkbook Blog for more tales of my adventure).  I loved the floral colour pops of Wildflower Florist which echoed the colours I'm using in my collection of Winter Florals decorative magnets - perfect stocking fillers I would say!

Art Deco Enamel Butterfly Comb

Art Deco Enamel Butterfly Comb
White & green enamel butterfly jewel with diamonte, pearl and set stones on silver hair comb.

I came across this lovely butterfly while I was sourcing vintage brooches for a wedding commission.  I love it's clean simplicity and shape - and it spoke Art Deco to me.  So I brought in some tear-drop set stones to bring the Art Deco classic fountain shape to life. 

Vintage Button Hair-clips

Vintage Button Hair-clips - (1) Blue/Neutral
A selection of vintage buttons on a black hair-clip. 

Sometimes a button is so deliciously lovely in itself, that it needs to be the centre of attention in a simple design.  That is the case with these vintage button hair-clips I've recently made. 
This set of 2 hair-clips are combination of lovely turquoise and natural tone buttons - a classic retro combination of colours that work so nicely together.

Coming to a market stall near YOU, Newcastle!
