Photos from Great Chalfield Manor

A rare sunny day a couple of weeks ago gave the opportunity for a few nice pictures.

Another Creation...

This time I tried to create a rabbit character, only I forgot to make him a tail! I think I'll try some more in different fabrics.

Owl Plush

This is my latest creation, made for my dad for father's day. He's based on my owl collages, with a few modifications. He's made from fleece fabric and felt bits, stuffed with polyester fibre.

An artist I like

This guy's work is so cool, thought I'd share, in case any one else likes it too! I wish I could come up with something like this, I am jealous as I so often am!

Cupcakes

My first attempt at cupcakes, I'm quite impressed!

Progressive Greetings

Last week I attended the Progressive Greetings Live Show 2011 in Islington, London. I've picked out a few of my favourite designs below :)

Freya Art
I absolutely love these screen printed designs, and I am very jealous that I have not done them!

Rootytoot
Such simple and eye catching designs are bound to be a success, also jealous having not created them!

Cardtastic
These cards are such a nice little size and I love the tiny patterns behind the messages on these ones.

Shine Publishing
Some nice patterns etc on these shine cards.

The Art File
There are two great ranges that I spotted from the Art File, I love London and Ink press. The London designs are highly appropriate to celebrate the Olympics, the Queen's Jubilee and all things British. Ink press cards are beautifully colourful and simple, and appealing to all age groups.

Owl Collage

I decided to create a new Owl collage using coloured paper on board. I used a themed paper pack I had bought based on birds. I rather like the autumnal colours.
