yay, perth upmarket here I come!

Yay, how exciting I am going to be one of the retailers at Perth Upmarket, December 14th, yay! I can't wait, I have been busy this week shopping around for a few display stands and bits n pieces (quite hard to check it all out on your lunch hour without running over time!) I found a couple of things at Storeworks in Osborne Park and still need to track down a couple of other things... a few trips around town will use up all of next weeks lunchtimes I bet!
I have also been working hard to add to the collection of drawings, there will be a couple of coloured pencil numbers in the badge range (birds - who would have thought?) and possibly on canvas too. Hopefully by the end of next week I will have my bookmarks printed too!!! a mini range finally, its all coming up rosie...

up, up and away!

Finally my Etsy store is up and running, hooray! I have only put up a few things at the moment, I have been so busy I haven't had much time to do anything. There are a couple of magnets whihc I will put up soon (similar designs to the button badges) and also a few sqaure canvas art pieces and (a possibility at this stage!) calico bags featuring a couple of drawings....these might take a bit of trial and error, so watch this space!!! note my mini etsy disply to the right (how exciting!)

The weather is finally starting to heat up hooray, whihc means I will be able to do a bit more after work and get together some new designs, instaed of the usually heater hugging winter hibenation that has been taking place.

yay!

All is going well. Here are some pics showing progress, finally... I hear you all say? yes, finally! we have a long weekend coming up so I will be working hard to put my etsy site and my champ and rosie site too.
I hope you like them!


Button Badge Art – my original illustrations on 1 inch button badges, all are sold in pairs and come attached to printed textured brown backing card (90mm x 55mm).
Also available: 1 inch magnets and keyrings, sold separately .




Canvas Art – a taste of what is to come! transfer onto canvas, mounted to wooden frame (100mm x 150mm)

It is happening!

well, my badge maker and parts finally arrived on Friday! I have spent this morning trying it out, at first I had the parts in the wrong way (yes, always wanting to jump in without reading the instructions...) but after a quick read it was all on. Here are some of the badges I made featuring my own illustrations, I am having the packaging printed at the moment so, they should all be available for sale very soon via my Etsy site keep an eye out for the canvas prints too.

Almost Happening....

Hooray my badge maker is almost here, it shipped last night! soon I will be able to put up some buttons for you to see along with some canvas pics too. I have also ordered a few magnets and keyring backs, so we will see how that goes with delivery time.

I went Perth upmarket on the weekend

It was great to see so many creative people in one place, with such beautifully designed things. I am really hoping to take part in the next one, if I have all of my stuff ready to submit in time that is...

My fav's from Perth upmarket were;

Rubbergob
Such lovely work and so professionally packaged, really great owl designs. I love the cards and tags, the notebooks are also very nice. I am a stationery nut!
