Etsy Shop Opens !

Felix and Felix

 I have just started an Etsy shop with my tea-towel /cloth kits, I have been getting round to it for some years, so am pleased it's up at last, however basic!

Oscar

Marmaduke

Some friends and family who have made up the designs have customised them with tiny beads and beautiful embroidery, I hope to show pictures.

 Bertha

Two new designs will be added to the original four and there will be more and various wonders to be posted on Etsy soon.

Nobrow, Gold, Salmon, Turquoise and Yellow

 Some time ago I bought Nobrow 1 because I just loved it, lovely size, 2 colour and the pictures standing alone of 24 artists. Bjorn Rune Lie and Stuart Kolakovic amongst them.

Bjorn Rune Lie

So it was really nice to be asked to contribute to Nobrow 5  A Few of my Favourite Things.
Well they asked for 20. There was the additional challenge of making your illustration a repeat pattern! This was so that a some would later go on to be used as wrapping paper.


A wonderfully printed magazine showcasing the work of 28 artists.


I love the way everyone's way of using the limited palette of 4 spot colours is so different. 

I probably needed to be a lot more simple but got a bit confused and over thought the process, shouldn't have really as it was very similar to how I make silkscreen prints.

mine!

Ariel by Sylvia Plath

Faber and Faber brought out a beautiful series of hard back poetry books in May 2010, and I was very lucky to be one of the illustrators/printmakers to be commissioned by Miriam Rosenbloom.
The link shows you the whole series.

My cover was nominated for a V&A award in 2011!

 

Sarah Young's Studio Sale - 25-26 June and 2-3 July

Every two years we mow the lawn, bake some cakes and open our doors for a studio sale. Initially the idea was to raise some money to build a studio - which is now up and will be open during the sale - but we found, very much to our surprise, that we actually enjoyed welcoming visitors to the house and studio meeting our buyers and talking about the work and so we've made it a biennial event. Almost everything of Sarah's (not things we have to buy in like her books) will have at least 20% off the website price for the duration of the sale. We only have a sale every other year.

As well as Sarah's Prints Dolls Paintings Illustrations etc we will be exhibiting some fantastic other artists work -

Christian Funnell's Sculptures,Rachel Dormor's Domestic Ceramics,
Lara Aldridge's Glass,
Jo Sweeting's Stone Carvings,
Joy Fox's Button Jewellery and recycled wool corsages
and Harriet Knightley's unique, modular jewellery.
Sarah's Studio Sale is on 25-26 June and 2-3 July 11-5
at 24 Windsor Road Worthing BN11 2LX

If you can't make it to the Sale - you can order online at a 20% discount until 21st July.

Worthing Open Houses are also Open for these weekends and many of the houses are within an easy walk (along the beach) of our house.

Tea-towels

After a couple of years I've at last been able to re-launch Marmaduke and Bertha, and have added Felix the Fox and Oscar the Owl. They can be straight tea-towels or you can cut them out, simply sew and stuff them to make toys or cushions, or doorstops if you put something heavier in them, like dried beans.


I first showed them at Made 10, and was very pleased with how they went, from that they are now residing at two Brighton Christmas houses, the Old Forge and The Dragonfly, last weekend 11-12 December

They are £10 each or £25 for any three, and I'm selling them from my website
