Theres an Elf in the Window...

Fa la la la la la la la la

As it's the Christmas season it was time for some festive cards! I didn't want to design anything too predictable, so whats better at Xmas than a family of elves. Each one has their own little slogan: "elf, kisses and wishes", "twinkle toes" and "fa la la la la la la la la", finished off with some glitter and sparkle on their hat, along with a punched silver snowflake on the envelope.
To go with my cards I also made my boy elf into a real life sized plushie who is now sitting happily in LoveOne spreading some holiday cheer! ♥

Button Balloons

My new little book is complete! Its A5 and hardbound, filled with marbled end pages and all sorts of aged papers such as maps. It also has a ribbon bookmark and a handy pocket in the back. On the front I embroidered the quote "Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you", so I thought some dreamy clouds and button balloons would be rather fitting! ♥

LoveOne

A little delayed in posting, but my Alice in Wonderland cards have recently been selling in a little local shop in Ipswich called Love One. It's really exciting to see my first bit of work sitting in a shop! As well as my cards I also made a display piece for the store which I made from an upcycled frame decorated in Fimo bits and pieces.
...Oh and my flamingo made it into the window alongside lots of other flamingo friends! ♥

Felted Creatures

I recently did some felting, which I discovered was a pretty long arm-aching process!! Rather than let my felt go to waste I had a little experiment with needle felting which turned itself into this blue bug called Norman.

I loved the process of needle felting more than felting itself so I thought I'd have another go. As i have a slight love affair with walrus' at the minute they were the perfect chubby critters to make. Meet Manny and his pup Lyal who hasn't quite grown into his furry moustache yet! ♥
