exciting times!

I was completely flabbergasted the other night, when as I scrolled idly through a marketing email from notonthehighstreet I saw THREE of my products! Something Wonderful Design on notonthehighstreet


Since then the orders have been flooding in. Exciting times indeed.. it could have been better timed though, as all four of my children have birthdays in the next 10 weeks.... admittedly the twins is on the same day, but nevertheless! The cupboards therefore are full of goodies I have been stockpiling in preparation for a ballet party, an easter party and a pirate party...................

The only thing is, as a creative control freak, I have to do everything myself! hence the linoprint party invites.... though I draw the line at painting a ballerina, so am currently bidding on a gorgeous vintage poster on ebay to use for 'pin the tiara on the ballerina'

Luckily I am getting a fair bit of help in the planning department from my soon to be 8 year old, who has been writing long lists of party games. The well known 'pass the melting easter egg' anyone? 'Musical Rabbits?' Wish me luck............

make your own... whatever you want!

I have been dithering for ages about how to change my existing business cards before ordering new ones, and when I realised I had left it too late to order them in time for my next event I decided to make my own!

The design is handprinted from the linocut I made to print notes and thank yous; the stamped bit at the bottom is from a stamp I already had for the backs of my cards! Had I more time (ha ha) I would have cut the complete design into lino, but hey, they'll do for now.

couldn't resist...

Okay, so images of them are everywhere... but having practically grown up in one, I don't consider myself jumping on the bandwagon by making a linocut of my dream VW. 'Camper Love'. I just couldn't resist! So here is a sneaky peek at the first layer of pink. To be completed as a 2/3 colour editioned print...

introducing my new notonthehighstreet shop!
