A Merry Christmas

I know the last thing on your mind is to check in here, but if you do, this message is for you. If you're new to my site then Merry Christmas and a big thank you too if you've dropped by before.

I hope you can all get to where you want to be this Christmas - safe journeys and have a brilliant new year!

County commissions

Before the year is out I have created two new 'My County' prints in response to people wanting their own county in print having seen them advertised at Pedlars.

Royal Berkshire and Garden of England for Kent are shown above. They will be widely available as a limited edition of 200. If you would like to have your very own county as a print then do contact me.

Birds of a colour

New for 2011 are five limited edition small screen prints. The series is titled Birds of a Colour and features five birds printed in a colour belonging to their name: Red shank, Blackbird, Greenfinch, Blue tit and Grey wagtail.

Rose(y) Nose

We had an open house leading up to Christmas and offered all our guests a signature cocktail called 'Rose(y) Nose'.

For those who like a splash of festive entertaining it is served firstly by coating the rim of the glass in egg white which helps apply crushed pink sugar for that extra sparkle! Next is a generous glug of ginger wine, be it Crabbies or Stones then topped up with a quality sparkling rose wine, cava or champers. The evening flowed very well!

Made in Bristol

I hope you can make it along to this years Made in Bristol Gift Fair at Bristol's Colston Hall, as I'm taking part along with 50 other artists, designers and food producers.

My slot will be on Saturday the 18th December on an upper level above the foyer. It is a fantastic free event for all your Christmas shopping under one, shiny gold roof, so hopefully see you there.
