our tiny caravan in print

I would like you all to meet my tiny Caravan that we have named her teeny as she stretched a massive 12ft, she is so cute that I wanted to share her with everyone so I have carved her out of lino and printed her on greeting cards.
Each one has been printed on 100 % cotton rag paper and was then hand coloured with Windsor and Newton water colours, these can be either given to a friend
or kept for yourself and put in a frame.
These cards will be available from my etsy store as of this week and at Salamanca Market this weekend.

Lovely olive Mothers day gift tags ready to be stocked at Rebecca Roth Jewellery at The Salamanca Art Centre ,Hobart

I have also been rethinking my marketing stationery and after a year of using vista print I have decided it was time to start printing my own business cards and social stationery with Hand carved linocut designs and handset type as much as I love Vista print nothing beats totally original hand printed business cards that are totally unique to anyone elses.

Going Global

I have been thinking about setting a streaming webcam up at the studio and have it broadcasting on the net in times of high production.

I don't even really know how to go about setting something like that up but I just thought it might be fun for people to see how I work when I am making prints or carving a new block I suspect there might be a lot of me staring out at the sea, Wow how exciting would that be to watch! lol

would you watch?
do you think it is an interesting, stupid, odd, idea?
what do you all think ?

Rehearsals

Ruby Playing the Hurdy Gurdy with Jane

who said fate doesn't have a hand in things ? things have just seems to falling to place for Allan in the last couple of months we have been meeting musicians that are on the same wave length musically to Allan in all kinds of places, markets and the like, it has been just a matter of luck and just speaking up and asking if they would like to collaborate in some way.

Heidi, Rod, Georgina and Allan

We have been having a lot of visitor here the last couple of weeks Allan and some musician friends have been having rehearsals here every week for their up coming concert at the end of May at the St George cathedral in Battery point, Hobart.

Heidi & Georgina

The concert will consist of singing, piano, violin, flute, classical guitar and Hurdy Gurdy the music has a folk/celtic sound and are a mix of traditional and original music.
From what I have heard here at rehearsals it is going to be a spectacular concert and definately one not to be missed.

Rod

It has also been a wonderful education for Ruby with all the different instruments passing through our door and hearing so much beautiful music she is having the childhood I dreamt about, my lucky girl.
