hey folks, a new website that i've been working on with my friend Michelle is now up online and ready to explore! its called Craftsville and focuses on UK based illustration/craft/indie makers. there will be regular features, interviews, reviews, competitions and listings of exciting events across the UK.

the imagery of the site is all my doing as will be a few regular features each week. Michelle is the brains behind the project and the maker of the site. check it out and get in touch if you have an event we could include in our listings. also you can follow us on twitter if you'd like to @craftsville

carboot saturday

yesterday i went to a lovely carboot sale at York racecourse, one i haven't been to before. it was more along the lines of an antiques fair, pricier than your average carboot sale, but full of good stuff. heres what i came home with.. the bridge set with the sailboat playing cards is my personal favourite

sailboat brooches

heres a new product to brighten up a rainy day! sailboat brooches.. my little boat drawing is screen printed and each brooch then hand assembled by moi. available in 3 colours, they're in my etsy shop now. lots more new products on the way in the near future, i'll keep you posted

busy weekend

last weekend i had a couple of stalls at crafty events in leeds, a doodle day at the subculture on friday and a cupcake competition at hifi on saturday. heres a little doodle contribution i made to the room full of doodles and my stall at hifi (including wares by my fine city friends). busy weekend, it involved eating some tasty cake which is no bad thing!
