✨ You might recognise this guy’s face from one of my other greeting cards, but as he seems to be a fave I’ve made a version of him you can cut out and keep!

✏️ My new split pin puppets can be written in and displayed as a birthday/celebration card, but then instead of popping them in the bin, you can have fun playing with them afterwards!

I’ve got a few new prints available in my store! I actually illustrated this lion taming scene yeeeears ago when I was doing my MA, but I’ve always quite liked it so I spruced it up and made the lion a bit more friendly.

All of my prints use FSC approved archival matte paper, for colour that will last. They’re also printed using an eco-friendly cartridge free printer- yippee!

😀 I can’t wait to get stuck into my first children’s book commission. Thank you to Alana and the UCLan team, I’m really looking forward to working with you all!

✨ I’m not usually one to blow my own 🎺 but as final orders are in the post, it’s almost the end of 2021 and my small business has survived another year in the depths of a pandemic.

✨ … so here some things I’m proud of this year:

- Expanding my catalogue so there are now over 150 designs to choose from

- Selling 52% more cards than I predicted in my 2021 forecast

- which included selling over 9,000 of these bears

- My first European stockists, as well as those in the UK and US

- It’s just been confirmed that next year I’ll be illustrating my FIRST CHILDREN’S BOOK! (more info tomorrow)

… and I couldn’t have done any of that without YOU!

✨ Thank you SO much for all your orders, follows, likes, general kindness this year. You’ve made it possible for me to have a full time job making nice pictures, so it really means a whole lot! ✨
