taking shape...

Currently designing a piece of wooden bunting for Bristol's forthcoming BUNT exhibition, for Bristol's Big Green Week.  Each wooden triangle, designed by lots of different illustrators, will depict an endangered or threatened species found in the South West.  I have chosen to screen print the Cornish Chough, and am looking forward to giving him a glorious red beak...if I can only get the drawing right!!  I will update you with my progress...(eek).

In other news, it's your last chance to enter my little bag giveaway!  Just post a comment here for your chance to win a hand-screen-printed tote bag.   I will be deeply flattered.

I hope you're all having a glorious sunny day!  I will be getting a taste of the sunshine at the recycling centre (exciting, I know.  It is worrying how much I am looking forward to ousting the huge mound of recycling that has been slowly taking over our kitchen while the car has been out of action.  We cannot move for empty plastic bottles).

Giveaway!

...Almost!  As a token of my appreciation to all of the current 99 people following my blog (and an apology for being a little bit slack with my updates), I would like to give away two screen printed tote bags featuring the above design (minus the 100 followers bit).  All you have to do is write a nice comment below, and I will randomly pick a number to determine the winner.  The other bag will go to my one hundredth follower.

In other news!  I have been working on lots of exciting things, which, unfortunately, I can't mention yet!  But please keep watching this space and I will update you with some lovely images.  In the meantime, I'll leave you with this feller, to give you a hint as to what my busy hands have been drawing!

the gardener's studio

For the man who has everything (or rather, insists he wants nothing for Christmas)...something to hang on his wall. Or my old bedroom, incidentally, which has become a drawing studio for my dad's landscape gardening business.  But it still looks a lot like it did when I left it (bless them) so I thought it could do with a touch of personalisation.

  

here come the birds

This was originally intended to be cut to pieces, but I actually think it could make quite a nice print...!
