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...

I reckon that my little pack of Toadstool cards would make a really cute stocking filler!

My 'Festive Boughs' designs celebrate the tradition of bringing the outdoors inside at Christmas and can add to a lovely, natural festive display 💚

When you design, make, package and post all your own products, getting a good review really means a lot: "Beautiful picture, excellent quality. Thank you so much"

Thank you to all my lovely customers! 💚

Good choice! Today I'm making the black and white versions of these greeting cards for a customer - I'm a fan of a classic black and white linocut and it's always the first colour that I print, so I'm a bit partial 😁
