Markets








Mathilda's Market carefully handpicks stall holders to bring you divine and original clothing, accessories, homewares and toys for the little ones... It's kids shopping heaven.

I am very excited to have been accepted to be a part of the upcoming Mathilda's Market when they come to Newcastle in March. I'm looking forward to be selling my artworks alongside many other talented designers/stall holders and hope you can make it along too. I can't wait!

My art - the process


Today I am having a little photography session - trying to work on improving my product photography. 
Up until now I usually just list my prints in my Shop, EtsyMini Mohs or Madeit using a digital snapshot, but I know it is much more appealing to the customer to actually see what it could look like framed and in their own home, so I am working on adding props and trying to use natural lighting - which is proving difficult as my home apparently doesn't have much natural light : ( 
I will be slowly photographing and updating my sites to include these shots over the next few weeks.

My art - logo design



I have had so much fun designing a Grubby Princess-style logo for the lovely Michelle over at Spectacular Girl It is based on her cutie-pie daughter Milli. 
She has some gorgeous handmade outfits for the little ones over on her facebook page - go and have a look!

My Art - The Process


I am excited have begun working on a set of 3 mermaids.
They will be available individually but I think they will look amazing hung three in a row, with white frames, in a little girls or even teen girls bedroom.
I am going to give each slightly different colouring, but all will be pastel, beachy-type colours. And I will give them all a little friend, this one has a cute little jellyfish, was thinking maybe a turtle in my next one and not sure about the third yet, any suggestions? 
Will also have to come up with some mermaid-esque names when I list them in my shop! Hmmm..


Here is a peek at my original sketch... 




And the final product... 




Now to get working on the other two! Watch this space : )
