Back at Last!

Phew! once we were settled into our lovely new flat in placid Hove it took another 2 weeks for 02 to get us reconnected to the internet. I don’t understand how it can take quite that long to sort something like this but boy, was it starting to cheese me off! These days we are all encouraged by  banks/stores/utility companies to manage our lives online so it really did cause quite an inconvenience to be offline this long, let alone try and run a business from home therefor today is actually quite exciting (how sad!)

Ok, one has to keep things in perspective - in the grand scheme of things this is no issue, I’m over it now! Back to work.

The first thing I created was ‘Safe in the Burrow’. A new giclee print which will soon be available on Etsy. I’d had a sketch in my note book for months and in just over one day I managed to finally get it out into vectors - a little early Autumnal offering.

Work in Progress - alphabet screen prints

After pondering just how many hours I spend staring at a computer screen I thought it would be refreshing to draw with a pencil once again. I combined this with a need to use up some small mounts I’d had delivered by mistake and so I am now in the process of creating some single colour screen printed letters. I’m thinking of printing them in a limited range of options - red, black, blue and a retro orange. Something very versatile and affordable to be added to the Etsy shop..eventually.

Here is a small preview but I shall update you with photos of the finished printed item.
