  • January Etsy Picks

    New Year picks from my Etsy shop this month:

    Hand Stitched Paper Bookmark Cards: Winter is the perfect time to curl up with a good book and my hand-stitched paper bookmarks, sent with a blank card are perfect for booklovers. Pair it with a good book for a great gift idea.

    Cotton Kitchen Set: Need a bit of post-Christmas kitchen clean up? Spring clean with this crochet cotton cloth, eco sponge and organise your bread bin with this cotton bread bag. Green and clean!

    Silver Birch Abstract Collage: This little abstract collage of Silver Birch trees in woodland uses some of my watercolour test sheets to make the bark. These sheets are made when I paint with watercolour and test the colour before applying to the painting. I was struck by the way the paint, cut into strips reminded me of the trunks of Silver Birch. This collage has a textured gloss varnish to it which is hard to catch in the photos.

    Three Mini Good Luck Cards:  I’ve hand-made these good luck cards featuring lucky coins and a lucky cat. Perfect for wishing your family and friends a Happy Lunar New Year.
