New Prints

So in May I made several new prints editions! THey are all screen prints and all are based on my drawings :) They are now all available in my Etsy shop (click here)! Some are sea creature inspird, others are just fun.

 

Nautilus print process

Step by step of my new print :) Soon will be added to the shop.

9/52 KRAKEN!

Kraken is one of my fave creatures ever. I have a soft spot for cephalopods, and the fantastically gigantic one is just so fab! :) One can argue they really exist - well, they do, but I don't think one large enough to drown a ship was ever spotted.

6/52 Mermaid

Ok, at long last this is here! I had a funny week and a lot of work so this got quite delayed.

If you can find a little girl that does not like mermaids... I will not give you a prize, but I am sure there aren't many out there. :)

Some interesting facts about my current affairs are as follows:
1. I will be holding a stall at Stonyhurst Spring Fair 26-27th of April. It will be a first for me which is not going to be a craft market... It's a really big event, so wish me luck! Also if you are in Lancashire around that time pop by and say hello!
2. For that reason I want to bring out a few new products. I think the current focus is going to be some printed textiles/new screen prints, so eyes open! I am sure I will be posting wips on my facebook page. They will most likely be tea-towels :P

Post Valentiny

I was working on this picture for quite some time, and I have had it in my head since early January... And of course, the time for me to finish it clearly had to be just AFTER the Valentines day. But nevermind, I think it will still be as nice to look at :)

(PSSSSST.... It's also a PRINT!)
I hope your Valentines day was as nice as theirs... I had some bonding time with my tablet! :)

Water

For Illustration Friday. There are many uncovered mysteries in the depth... :)

lighthouses.

I absolutely love lighthouses. I love the sea, so I guess this is a natural extension of this affection. It is also partially because of my love for one particular Moomins book where they move to a lighthouse. Quite some time ago I did a series of drawings of polish lighthouses. This was the first one and the only one that I actually went on to the top of. One of my ideal places to live would be on an island with a lighthouse.

I just keep on dreaming.

Bags! (Full view post preview ;) )

I have been super busy recentely working on LOADS of new projects/items. I already have some things that are nearly made for Christmas! :) But before they are revealed, photographed, and more importantly, actually MADE, here's things that are already done! If you click on the images you will be transferred to a nice place where you can look at more pictures of them and exchange your money for them ;)

This one  is one of my favourites - it was quite challenging to make with all the colours! But they turned out absolutely fab :) It also made it to the Etsy front page on the first day of being listed!!!

This is the famous narwhala in the bag form ;)

And for something completely different, whale song! Ok, not really that different ;)

There has also been few other colours of octopus added to the line (the black ones look really really good!!):

And this is last, but not least one of the Recycled Saloon series. It is actually the last one of the series and there have only been two of each design made! "Sister" of this bag I have myself :)

some whales...

...are just cuter than others!

A snippet preview of what is coming to my etsy store THIS SPRING! ;) Shame about the blue whale fella as his tail fell off :(

waves and things

I had a pretty good day today, full of wandering around Edinburgh's galleries and chatting to strangers. I feel very cultured ;)

Aaaand, I have been featured by The MADE Project!

The month started with me window shopping in high street clothes shops, that are not a particularly inspiring place in themselves but I just really want to make lots of nice things now (bags, scarves etc...). I have now a clear plan in my head and hopefully will be able to start producing lots of the above by the end of may or beginning of June... Or maybe before then :)


For the meantime, some waves:
