New Designs for Spring

I'm delighted to share some new products that I have had made using some of my artwork.

This is Bunting Boat and Rainbow. It was inspired by a boat trip we took from Elgol to Loch Coruisk on The Isle of Skye last year. The boat was strung with bunting for a wedding later in the day and we saw rainbows all along the road on our way there.


I've had it printed onto matching Mugs and Coasters.


Mug and Gift Box £9.95

The design goes all the way around the mug with no gap between the front and back and it is split over two coasters so that when you put them together you see the whole picture.


Set of Two Coasters £7.95

The image also fits perfectly onto my Zipped Pouches.



Zipped Pouches £7.95
The pouches are washable and great for all sorts of things including pens and pencils, make up, glasses, paints, crochet hooks...the list goes on!



I also revisited this sheep design and gave the mamma sheep and lambs a more colourful world to live in with the addition of some wee birds. It also makes great mugs and pouches.



New to my range are these cotton bags. They measure 38 x 40 cm and have a nice length of handle. 100% natural coloured cotton.



Cotton Bags £7.95







Also new this week are these four designs as limited edition large printed cards.


The cards measure 15 x 15 cm £3.50 each.

And last but not least, I have two new notebooks in stock.

Dragonfly Cottage and Hughie the Coo

The idea for Dragonfly Cottage came to me when I met an Outlander fan in the village of Falkland. We got talking about my work as she was buying one of my cards in a shop and she said it reminded her of a scene from the book. She suggested I make something Dragonfly themed as the next series of Outlander is called Dragonfly in Amber. This image just floated into my head!



These notebooks have plain pages, perfect for sketching, painting or just keeping notes.



I will have all these and more with me at Falkland Craft Market on Saturday 5th March and at Edinburgh Yarn Festival on March 18th and 19th. You can also find everything in my Etsy shop here

Open Studios North Fife 2015 on 2nd, 3rd and 4th May

I'll start this blog post off with a nice relaxing sunset taken on the Isle of Skye the week before last. 


Yes with just a few weeks to go until Open Studios, we still managed to sneak in a quick trip to Skye as we have done the past few years. It's such a great time to go. No midgies, pleasant Spring sunshine and not too busy either.

We had a great time and even though we've been to Skye a few times now we still found things to do that we hadn't done before.

One thing I'd wanted to do for a long time was take the boat trip over to Loch Coruisk from Elgol.
We took my mugs along for a wee photo shoot on the beach.
As you can see there are now six designs available.


Below is the latest design and will be available from me during Open Studios this year. My Mugs, Coasters and Notebooks are also available from three different gift shops around Scotland.
Little Thistle in Dunfermline
Wild Thistle in Braemar as well as at Braemar Castle Shop and 



Also new for Open Studios this year are a range of printed cushions.


Thistle Bothy Cushion
£38
Available to order here 

Other designs will also be available soon.

I also have some new heart shaped Pendants and Earrings that I am working on just now.


Pendants £24


Earrings £18

I have even managed to make some alternatives to purple and turquoise!


All of these will make their debut at Open Studios and be available online from around the 6th of May.



I've made lots of bracelets and rings as well.
Bracelets £20 and Rings £18


This week I am finishing off a batch of these Felt Heart Pendants in Blues and Turquoise. 
I also plan to do something with this hand dyed silk but I'm not sure what yet. It's gorgeous just as it is!


Staying on a purple theme, I have this landscape to finish.



 I finished this little one last week. It's 15 x 15 cm and is also available as a printed cushion.




So it is going to be an incredibly busy two weeks now. Hope to see some of you there.
I am at my usual venue, 64 Commercial Road, Ladybank.
You can download a free brochure from the Open Studios website and find directions to my venue here
