Can’t wait to get my hands on ’em
Can’t wait to get my hands on ’emThe amazing, painstaking and endlessly energetic Lynn Russell of Satsuma Press has been hard at work, printing my designs! She sent me these two pics of the greetning cards and gift tags with my Seeking and Round Birds designs printed in leafy green and silver sage. Letterpress adds …

Patches of work

Changing rooms
Changing RoomsThis picture is a very graphic illustration of how poorly stocked my Etsy shop is right now. I simply haven’t got around to updating it for ages, but I have at least one good excuse: I’ve been moving studios… but not very far. This has been what my side of the studio has looked …
