Showcase 2013

Halfway through Showcase 2013, Ireland's trade show for the creative industry, and it's proving very interesting! This year I am in Creative Island, organised by the Crafts Council of Ireland and I love my spot and will miss it - one of my best sellers, 'Just You', and the newly hatched small version were in the 'Selected' area which was great news!

I spent a lot of time and a huge amount of energy in 2012 finalising my display/packaging etc, and I am very pleased in general. Feedback has been fantastic. It's nice to know you're moving in the right direction. So I hope 2013 will be an interesting and exciting year - it will certainly be a busy one! Have a look below at some snaps of my display, packaging, new designs.

Happy New Year and no rest for the...

Happy New Year to you all (I think it's the last day I can say that) sad to see the end of 2012, but 2013 is already shaping up to be an interesting one. Next up: Creative Island at Showcase, and am currently buried under mounds of sketches and paper organising and finalising my new designs. Six completed, one 'en route', and possibly an eight if I have the time. To whet your appetites, here's a look at a Lino cut before the final test print - if I do say so myself, the finished print is very unusual and beautiful in a ghostly sort of way - end of January for uploading images for all new designs!
