letterpress

my first letterpress print! I've wanted to have one of my pieces printed in this method for such a long time, as it's such a beautiful and old style result. I found Davina of Fluid Ink in Western Australia who is lucky enough to have two such printing presses and she was able to do the printing for me.

I love the result, and hope I can get more done in the future. You can find my Swan River Colony letterpress print here.

in Holland!

Time to introduce you to a new shop stocking Lila Ruby King, Hear Hear in the Netherlands. Located in Amsterdam, Heisteeg 8, this Sunday they're throwing an all day walk-in-opening-party so get going why don't you!

new North Story pieces

I've been doing some ceramic decaling. Not really something I usually do, not having a ceramic studio and all, but Mitsy and I first made some of these special series pieces at her workshop when I visited in 2011, and the ones we made had sold quite well over Christmas, so it was time to make some more. 
It's such a fun process, more like making a collage than typical decaling work, and so each piece is completely unique.
These are a quick look at the ones I made, if you're interested in seeing more of the process, you can check out this blog post Mitsy made - which includes the making of the porcelain shapes too.

I'll have mine finished off and in my Etsy shop hopefully in a few weeks time, Mitsy still has a couple left in her shop.

new stockist

my work is now available at Koukoutsi, on Skoufa 81, Athens. They'll be stocking a collection of my paper goods, including cards and postcards as well as some of my new Greek pins- you have to go by the shop to be the first to see those.

I love their modern greek themes, so happy to have found a great home for my Hello Greece postcards!

lost birds

I have a couple of new items, that I've been working on for quite awhile now, so I'm pretty excited they're finished at last. Both relate to my extinct birds series. The first is a new colouring book / zine, which features a page each on 30 different extinct birds, and a small piece of each bird's story.

 

the second item is a pairs / memory card game, again featuring my extinct birds. This set comes with 50 cards, so that's 25 bird pairs. 

Both these are printed on recycled paper of course, and are available in my Etsy shop.
