Yes I know it's only Blogtober but......

I told you already that I'm trying to be super-organised this year..... so I've designed some christmas cards, just in time for errrrrr Christmas! You may have caught a sneaky peek of the reindeer yesterday.

Pop into The CurlyPops Shop to snap some up, or just visit me at any of my upcoming markets, where you'll also find colour ranges that are not available online.

I promised a Blogtoberfest Giveaway today and I'm sticking with the card theme. Just leave me a comment and I'll draw a lucky winner this Friday night (October 15th) at 8PM AEDST. The winner will get to select their five favourite card designs/colours.

Good Luck!

The Art of Display

I've been thinking a lot about market displays lately. There's a real art to getting your stall looking just right.

I must admit that I'm really not very good at it at all. I chop and change for every single different market..... always tweaking, and hoping for the best.

I've picked up a few new/oppy items lately to help with my display, including this picture frame. I want to be able to display some of the illustrations from my greeting cards, while also demonstrating that the cards can be framed to create a piece of artwork.

Now I just need to work out how I'm going to make it sit up on my table.....

The Owl and The Dragster

Are Owls still on trend? Penny was asking that question yesterday.

I'm hoping that they are, as this is my latest drawing that I've turned into a greeting card (and will soon turn into a fabric).

I also drew a Dragster this week...... I decided to give it a coloured background before colouring it in, and it ended up that I really liked the effect of leaving the dragster white. Design by accident!

These are also available as greeting cards at the moment, and will become fabrics very soon.

My latest lot of test swatches from Spoonflower have been shipped, so fingers crossed that they all work out so I can place a real order!
