Grrr... I love this little guy. This week I got some of my pen and ink pointillism drawings back from the gallery, but this time they were printed on framed ceramic wall plaques.
The glossy sheen on the tile made them pop and the black frame really complimented the look. The little tiger cub is one of my personal favourites. The wall plaques come packed in their own protective boxes so they are ideal for wrapping as gifts or simply as a personal treat.
During lockdown you may have been doing some painting of your own ... freshening up your home with a bit of DIY . Some modern artworks might just finish off your fresh new look.
This week’s addition to the new range is this cute little bumble bee. buzzz.
It was a busy week though, due to completing three commission watercolour paintings too. Interestingly, when I showed one of my paintings to my old art class colleagues, during a zoom catch up, someone recognised Portobello beach front and wanted to buy a print of it ... another sale.
The idea of me being a personal shopper, producing unique gifts for special birthdays and anniversaries, definitely seems to have triggered quite a number of enquires. The increase in commissions has definitely kept me occupied during the enforced social distancing .
Now I have to turn my creative talents to baking cupcakes for our Rotary club fundraising afternoon tea and bingo on zoom and quickly learn some bingo lingo ,as I am the caller too !
“Two fat ladies ...88!” It is amazing just how much has changed in such a short space of time ... who would have guessed this technophobe would be organising on-line social events and managing to be a guest speaker ,operating a PowerPoint at Rotary clubs all over Scotland .
This has been a great way to raise awareness about my Message of Hope fundraising campaign for End Polio Now. Hopefully it will generate more sales of the greeting’s cards.
Feedback so far has been very positive.
