And, relax (not really!)

Lovely, albeit incredibly busy day today making up some printed lavender bags - pic below. The skull really works well as it's a simple image, bulky and interesting. The other bag will have an owl - not quite as dramatic as the skull, but very sweet nonetheless - just awaiting dried lavender delivery which I hope will arrive in time and we'll see how these go down at the RDS national craft & design fair, 5-9th Dec.

Rds gift guide

Delira' to say one of my prints has been included, I have been told that I will now become a millionaire on the back of this... Or at least sell a few prints. After Bloom in the Park, I invested in some cataloging of my work so it is good news indeed that they have been included here. Oh, and if you happen to be at the fair, and having a gander at the Crafts Council Special Feature area, the lovely 'Just You' will be there, cooing from its frame!

Holiday... Before it really kicks up a notch!

Off I go for a few days, with lists & logos floating around in my little head. As a pre-holiday workload, I finalised the printing of my wall signs (thanks for the help, Vici... "Help!", she says, "I bloody did them!") and some final printing runs. Pics of the lovely golden-tipped 'Foxy Dreams' and the gorgeous 'Sleep Tight', hot off the press. By the way, I'm typing this on the plane as the other passengers board - this is why apps are so great!

... Christmas is a coming

Today at Designer Mart was certainly a good pointer as to what people are looking for for Christmas. 'Just You', was an outright winner, but the Christmas(sy) prints were favourites with 'Foxy Dreams' and 'Sleep Tight' golden tints and a 'partridge in a pear tree' lovely robust feel. See piccies.

Tomorrow will be a work from home day, a spot of nice relaxed Lino cutting, woo hoo, bring it!

Lewis Glucksman Gallery

Ah, the joys of this space. What an amazing fair to do. Bright, light, spacious and relaxed, what more could you ask for! Here's some pics of the beautiful architecture and interior space - clean-lines-tastic! For anyone who doesn't know where to find it, it's in the grounds of UCC just a skip from Cork city.

How did I get on you might ask? It was so nice to have my first fair outside of Dublin here. I worked really hard on my display prior to the show, and with the new 'FAWN' logo that was essentially launched here, I'm happy to say it was all very well received... Particularly the gift boxes which got a lot of attention!
