We've had some lovely warm sun in this part of the world this week and i've been a busy bee, flitting from one creative project to another :)
Nature Postcards
I was soooooo excited when my newly printed postcards finally arrived in the post and i've been busy getting them photographed and listed on Etsy. I chose ten images to get printed in all - five of the 'nature finds' images (on a white background) and five 'nature walks' images - pictures from my countryside explorations. I'm really pleased with how they've turned out and i'm looking forward to hearing what you think too...!
Nature Finds
Nature walks
Excitingly i made my first couple of sales from my Print andPpaper' shop this week and got positive feedback too - yay! One of the orders is a lovely commission that i'll tell you all about in due course :)
Autumn Nut Fabrics
Thank you to everyone who left kind comments about my new apple fabric designs last week. I have a few more additions to my Autumnal range to show you today and it would be fantastic to get your comment on these too!
Nuts are the theme this time... hazelnuts,
horse chestnuts/conkers,
and acorns - with squirrels!
These images all represent what a 16x16 inch (average cushion size) swatch of fabric would look like. They'll be popping up soon in my Spoonflower shop, accompanied i hope by some falling leaf and berry fabrics to complete my Autumn range and possibly some pumpkins and gourds too. For anyone wondering, these designs will also feature on a set of craft papers (including the apples from last week and the leaves/berries/gourds yet to come!)
Handmade Monday
That's it from me for this week, i'm off to try and tick a couple more things off my ever expanding 'to do' list before taking a relaxing potter around the other Handmade Monday crafty blogs.
Thanks for stopping by all... enjoy the last week of summer, next time we meet up it will be the first day of Autumn - just saying! :)
Loving the postcards:)
