Flea Market finds 2

I visited the Giant Flea Market again yesterday at Shepton Mallet, and these are my finds!

 My favourite things are probably the old type blocks which I bought in my initials, also I got an ampersand and from a separate stall I bought a printing block of a pointing hand.

 The platter and plates are "Woodbury" ceramics by Wedgwood, drawn by Victor Skellern in the late 1950s..

I also got some Hornsea "Heirloom" spice pots and small jug, and various old glass bottles. Very pleased with my little hoard.

London themed notice board

I finally got round to making this London themed notice board. Having drilled some holes in a square of chipboard ages ago, I had been looking for the perfect fabric to cover this board with and I found it in Millie Moon Haberdashery Boutique in Frome. The lovely London themed fabric features a Routemaster bus, london taxi, queen's guard and lots of other landmarks. I finished off the notice board using dark blue ribbon and some blue and purple split pins. If you're interested in purchasing my creation please get in touch, it's £20 + p&p.

Happy Saint George's Day!

Owl screen print - Pink and blue

Following my post on my green and blue Caslon Owl, here is the same owl in a Pink and blue colourway.

This little chap has a body made from characters from the Caslon font, a serif font originally designed by William Caslon in the 1700s, and printed in black.  The rest of him is printed using bright pink and pale blue acrylic inks overprinted to create more colours.

This is a limited edition of 8 prints, some have got leaves around and some havn't.
You can buy now it in my folksy shop; welaughindoors now! Also if you like what you see and would like to be kept up to date with my latest screen printing activities why not become a fan of mine on facebook :) or follow me on Pinterest.

Art that's on my wall

 

I thought I would share my collection of screen prints and art with you, I intend to add more, up the the ceiling!

 

This is a greeting card by Freya art, she also does lovely screen prints and other products.

I bought this original print by Alice Hoult when I visited Pick me up Exhibition back in march, she has a whole circus series all of which are rather lovely.

 

This is my own creation, Mr Caslon owl, made from V&A museum papers and then screen printed. Similar ones are available in my Folksy shop now!

 These lovely foiled postcards and the one on my wall is by Sanna Annukka, a Finnish illustrator and printmaker whose work I admire, I think I bought it from Paperchase.

The owl and tea cup stack original screen prints are by the lovely Peskimo, whom I met at Pick me up.

 

Finally is a greeting card by Darling Clementine, a Norwegian Duo who always come up with simple but brilliant characters, these ones are from "The Claudettes" range of cards and stationery.

Pick Me Up Exhibition Part 1

On Saturday I visited Pick Me Up, a Contemporary Graphic Art Fair at Somerset House in London. The exhibition runs until this sunday and is well worth a look if you're nearby!
The art fair featured mostly screen printed work, collage and illustration. It was a great place to get ideas and also buy some yummy prints for my house.
Here are some of my favourites from the day.

Jon McNaught has done some lovely nature inspired prints, and was featured in the Pick me up selects section.

Yoko Michishita was also featured in the Pick me up selects section of the show, She works mainly in pencil on these delicate drawings.

The next artists that caught my eye were Zim & Zou, a french duo who create beautiful creatures and three-dimensional artwork.

I was really looking forward to seeing some of my favourite artists, Peskimo. Here's one of their latest prints that they have on sale at the show, called Catnaps.

This is the Puck Studio section, who are a creative print studio from East London, they had a very creative stall area, which I managed to ruin by releasing one of the helium balloons by mistake! oops.
