Well I have been extremely busy since my last update, my daughter had been home for the weekend and saw my little gift cards that I had been making. To my surprise she loved them and suggested that I send them to a card company that she buys from.
Later I went onto the Internet and searched the company and found that they were looking for artists, I have always wanted to call myself an artist!! I read the do's and don'ts and thought why not have a go.
So I set about making some new cards (the ones I have for sale on Etsy/Folksy are too small). It was a natural reaction for me to draw and paint cakes, so I tried Wedding Cakes!
Before I sent them I thought I had better get a few opinions and see what people thought, armed with a bit more encouragement I copied them and sent them.
Then I got an email back saying they couldn't open them, so I sent them off again in a different format and waited for a reply, I am still waiting...
Sorry cards removed to protect copyright.
Not to be discouraged I have now made another 3 cards, I think I will send 2 not sure about the third,we'll see what a few people say first. Another card with a play on words Cup -Cake, I was walking down the street thinking about a subject to draw that night when I got home from work and it just came to me!!
The witches also appeared in my head when I was day dreaming at my desk Witch Birthday?
Love to Shop is the one I am not sure about as it is a copy of my flower art cards in paint/ink
If you would like to comment please feel free!!
The other night I also had a call from a lady I had met at a rabbit show she had seen my website and found the link to my craft website and found my flower art. She commissioned me to make 2 cards one each for her daughters here are the results.
My journal will take you with me through my hobbies and interests which I warn you are numerous.I live on a smallholding and grow my own vegetables and fruit, we keep chickens,ducks,geese and bees, but my passion is to show and breed rabbits. I also love to bake and make jams and chutneys, I am also a very keen crafter and dip in and out of many crafts, I did say numerous didn't I?
