Wow I can't believe it has nearly been over a week since I last posted on here, It has been a seriously busy week.
the Barn market was fabulous last Saturday so many happy customer and stall holder ,Miriam & Helen did a fantastic job of the whole thing and even though it rained some of the time, that didn't stop people from coming in and having a shop.
Sunday was the Woodbridge Market I really like this market it has a real down to earth charm about it and a nice mix of people and things to look at ranging from fresh produce, lead lighting, paper mache creations ,gem stops, fudges, knitted item and printing of course , you can also sit for a portrait for less that $30 now that is pretty fantastic .
Unfortunately there are only two more markets at Woodbridge this season and then it will be back again in spring I think .
During this week has seen me doing custom orders, printing, drawing new designs, writing more applications and profiles and too much paper work at the computer.
But I have also received a few wonderful things in the mail link my new knight in shining armour letterpress block which I hope prints well enough for me to use for little party invitations for boy to take to mathildas market next month and my beautiful string arrived from the states drool I love string.
I have been doing a bit of printing as well some new tags in some lovely bright happy colours and reprinting some of my teacups in different colours I think the teacups look beautiful in this red, I also printed the other 3 stack of cups in turquoise and looks stunning, better than the 2 cup print I am not sure why might just be the pattern I hope you enjoy the new photo anyway .
yesterday I went to visit a lady that I had met at the Woodbridge market, she had liked my work and had asked me to consider illustrating her children s book for her.
We had a lovely morning drinking tea and chatting and I think the partnership on this lovely story is going to work out very well , Nansy is also a fabulous painter and is a beautiful person and I feel blessed that she found me at the market and felt that she could ask me to work on this project with her, It is going to be interesting what we come up with so stay tuned.
So much other stuff to report but my eye are tired so maybe later
Keep well everyone

looking forward to hearing more about this children's book

ReplyDeleteyes I am a bit nervous about it as I don't profess to be a book illustrator,but nansy and I will work together and I will make our rough sketches and ideas into something she is looking for.
Congrats on the book. When will you be at Woodbridge again? I forgot to get the red tea cup print.

ReplyDeletehi inaluxe
ReplyDeleteYes I am very excited about the book the lady that has written it is a painted and her style of writing is very visual the first time I read the story the image were there in my mind so clearly but we will work together on the images as it is ,her story and as an artist she also has the images in her minds eye I think we will have a pretty similar bend on how the images should be thought we seem to have a pretty strong connection in an artistic way which is very strange but really nice for me .
sounds very exciting indeed! I look forward to seeing it. :)
