Moo.com Christmas card

More great news! My designs are now available as greeting cards, business cards and stickers on moo.com, a dynamic young printing company based in London, England. You choose the designs you want, mine (preferably), someone else’s (I am in very good company) or even your own (your travel photos, for example), drop and crop them on the products you want and place your order.  I love the quality of their printing, their range of products and their choice of artists (besides me!). Even the packaging of the cards are neat.

Google Cat

This cat is a summer creation by my friend Ronna who created him during a folk art workshop with her friends. Made up of leftover bits and pieces of wood and hardware, his name is Google, as in googly eyes. See the process on her blog on July 22nd. Great job, Ronna!

Cookie and tea set

And look at this cute tea set, painted by Ronna. Who wouldn’t want to share cookies with these cats?

Making it in Maastricht

Esthex dolls 

I was quite excited to discover that Esther is based in Maastricht, where I will be on holiday in a couple of weeks. She is a Dutch textile artist who has recently seen her work make it to the big screen (again!) in Sex in the City (thanks to Vic at Tigerprint for pointing it out to me).  Her wonderfully quirky dolls and animals are inspired by her own childhood drawings. Her signature : humour, simple shapes and unusual proportions. I find those long, striped legs irresistible! In just five years she has succeeded in selling her toys, books, music boxes, puppets, pillows and many other things in 18 countries and in 250 shops. Bravo!
