In the studio – new unique gifts being painted now!

Calendar May 4, 2009 | Posted by Wendy

It’s all go in the studio at the moment.  Here are a few pics of what is keeping me busy at the moment.  For a kick off (oh dear, was that supposed to be a joke…?) there are these footballs which double up as clocks.  They can be personalised with any name or message, which I hope will go down well with junior footballers.  Sitting alongside them is something for mum or big sister – a shoeshop doubling up as a pen pot.  You probably can’t see it, because it’s not so good a picture, but there’s a sale on in the shoeshop!!  Again, it can be personalised.

And then there’s these cat goodies.  A cat clock, pen pot, moneybox and hook rail.  There’s a mirror, too, but it didn’t make it into the photo.  I’ve added some appropriately catty quotes – although because they are painted to order, I could add your favourite quotes.  Or even your cat’s name… now, that would be spoiling him!

And today I was working on this campervan clock.  Hand painted, of course, but with a bit of a retro thing going on… distressed and with a personalised numberplate.

I also tried out a bit of a craft fair display, and here is a peek at some of it.  The mirror looks a bit raggedy round the edges because I’ve not taken the protective plastic off it yet – I need to varnish before I do that.

My first craft fair’s on Sunday 31st May at Grappenhall Community centre in Warrington, Cheshire.  Because it is the first one, I’ll be offering introductory discounts on most things.  Come along and say hello!!

    Your work is really cute – love the cats!
    I was going to take part in the fair in Warrington but I ran out of time to get ready, so I might just pop in instead to have a look!
    Hope it goes well for you!
