Pins for people who hate company and love trees. You can get these two as a set and save some coins in my @etsy shop now ✨
If I wasn’t so tired I’d probably think of a better caption than “my cards can double up as mini art prints”. But I am so I can’t haha. I’m still blown away by the fact people have my artwork up in their houses 💛 Thank you to lovely @sarah_turner85 for the beautiful photo!
Big fan of these new vinyl stickers, the colours are spot on 👌 they’re up in my @etsy shop now ✨
#marchmeetthemaker • Mistakes & Lessons: let’s journey back to a few years ago when I used to sell people paintings for £20, sometime even £15 (!!!). I did a huge A2 painting as a commission that took me all day everyday for well over a week and I charged only £75. My friend at the studio @laurenscows used to tell me off and i’m glad she did, because that shit was ridiculous. So thanks, Lauren! In the words of Gob Bluth “I’ve made a huge mistake”
Sneak peek at a fun little project ✨ Painting on ceramic is much harder than I thought but it’s been a real treat to do something different!
#marchmeetthemaker • Motivation & Goals: Providing for my wee bubba and one day I’d like to move us to Copenhagen (he would blend right in already being tall, blonde and called Soren 😂). I sell loads to that part of the world too so maybe it’s not too much of a crazy goal.
#marchmeetthemaker | Photography - I love taking product shots but I never get chance to go out as much, or spend ages setting up photos as I did before. This was taken on the frosty bush in my back garden lol (not a metaphor) 🌲
Reducing Waste • #marchmeetthemaker I started making the effort to go greener last year, but have found it to be quite a slow transition. Most of my stationery is made from recycled paper, like my cards, notebooks and gift wrap and when the rest eventually sells I’ll replace it with the same. Struggling with the cello bags tho, could anyone recommend any other ways of packaging prints and cards? I bought all these “recycled” bags made from corn starch but apparently they’re not actually any better in the long run?!
Lorien pin in the wild 🌿(📷 by danakers89 - thank you!) I found another 5 more that are in the shop now 👏
#marchmeetthemaker - y o u ✨ I’m 29 soon and can recite almost every episode of Peep Show word to word (crunchy nut cornflakes are just Frosties for wankers). If I wasn’t working in art, I’d be working in food (veggie tho 🍒). I once fell into the sea and got impaled by a sea urchin and the spike didn’t come out of my arm until 6 years later. Tru story. People always tell me I remind them of Abbi from @broadcity 💪 I’m learning German and I think I might make a pretzel pin next 🥨
Prints, prints, prints! Trying to come up with some sort of plan for @yorkopenstudios which I just realised is only 4 weeks away uh ohhhh. This year I think I will have more originals available than prints which is a first
