As always, it's lovely to find a great review; "Such beautiful designs and great craftsmanship. Speedy delivery too!"

This is a photo of 4 black and white greeting cards reproduced from my original linocuts. They feature different winter foliage: Mistletoe, Ivy, Fir and Holly. They're photographed on a wooden table with seasonal leaves and glowing candles - an atmospheric and wintry scene.

This is a photo of a bunting set consisting of 5 angels and 6 stars, cut out and ready to colour in. They are lying on a wooden table with a pot of coloured pencils and some ivy. The angels all have different expressions and a variety of patterns on their clothes which make them great fun to colour. This is a set of colourful bunting with angels and stars, threaded on red twine. It's lying on a table with a stripy candle, coloured pencils, scissors etc.

Folk Horror Bunting!

Featuring dark folklore themed linocut illustrations, I've carefully printed the lino directly onto wooden bunting. There are nine different prints across nine bits of plywood measuring approximately 15cm x 13cm each.

Do you agree that AI should p*** off this Christmas!

My mini linocuts make great, affordable little gifts. They're totally handmade; from drawing, to carving to printing and are also on handmade khadi paper (not made by me). #humanmade #shopsmall #handmadeisbest

In the Winter there's obviously lots of mud and decaying stuff, but look what else there is - little shoots! And colour 😍
#acorns
This is a photo of some acorns which have split open and exposed their bright pink interior, along with a little tiny shoot growing from the top of one of them. They are sitting on muddy ground where there are also a few blades of green grass. This is a photograph of an acorn lying among some muddy leaf litter and twigs. It has split open and there's a shoot sprouting from one end.

Yesterday morning, on the way to the postbox - walking up the hill and then the view, looking back down the way I'd come. I always turn at the top because *that* view!

Such a thoughtful review - thank you to all my customers!

"Beautifully illustrated, and restrained unfussy festive images printed on quality card...I am very pleased to be able to send such lovely cards this Christmas..."

This is a photograph of 4 festive greeting cards lying on a wooden table. They are surrounded by seasonal foliage, pine cones and there are two glowing candles in star-shaped brass holders. The designs are reproduced from my original linocuts and they feature holly, mistletoe, fir and ivy. In this picture I tried to create a cosy, wintry atmosphere.

Some designs don't sell that often so it's always a pleasure when I get to send one out to a customer - I'm happy packing this one tonight 😊

This is a photo of a greeting card which is reproduced from my painting of orchard trees in the snow with birds circling the sky and a pair of blackbirds on the ground, pecking for crumbs. There's a fox in the distance and we can assume he's hungry too...
