Feathers and Fairs
Hi everybody, I’m writing this post from my garden as I try to soak up as many rays as possible – the sun has been out most of the day and this is the first chance I’ve been able to enjoy it!
I thought I’d firstly share with you a couple of etsy treasuries I have been features in:
My Butterfly on Clematis print was included in a collection of flower images by the lovely Clare Loveday
and my Spider cushion cover was included in a collection of spider themed items by Jennifer Smith
I have also been sent an image advertising the Summer Food & Gift Fair, the next big event I will be exhibiting at. It is being held at the stunning Roundhouse in Derby after the Christmas fair there was so well received. If you are in the Derbyshire area I would highly recommend a visit.
I am also nearing the completion of my chicken painting – i have added more depth to the straw ans have begun work on the background. I am basing the background on a photograph I took of some forget-me-nots with a hazy green/brown background. I have started laying down the darker colours before I start lightening it up.
and finally, I was over the moon when I had the chance to purchase something from Kelly Clark aka Umber Dove – she has the most wonderful blog and I don’t normally get across to her etsy shop in time to be able to buy something. This time I did and this beautiful painted pebble will be arriving with me very soon 
This photo was taken by Kelly for her Etsy shop listing
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everybody x
