So... i've started experimenting. I decided to start with coasters first (less to waste if it all goes pear shaped!)
I started with this one - i like the sheep design but the boarders didn't turn out quite as i'd hoped!
So i came up with this little one which i think is pretty cute - watch this space... a whole collection may well appear in my shop soon!

| I took this with a mug i'd just painted for a customer - a bit of an odd animal combination but hey ho - i like odd! |
Well, she's seen it now and thankfully she loved it :) So now you can see it too!
