The Daily Project

Day 10 of The Daily Project. I am enjoying this task that I have set myself, to make a card every day.  Lots of other projects to think about too! Here is a selection of cards sitting on the line waiting to be packaged up. It feels good to finally open an etsy shop too.  I hope your New Year is going well. 

Injector

Day six of The Daily Project and also twelfth night which sees the opening of the Feltbug shop on Etsy.  I signed up for this shop six years ago, I can't believe it has taken so long!  I plan to sell my hand-made cards, up-dating the shop on a weekly basis and maybe some other bits and pieces in the future. Happy New Year!

The Daily Project

A new year always brings a feeling of new beginnings and this year I have decided to see if I can draw a card a day for the next 365 days with the plan to put them into my etsy shop.  I will be uploading the first batch this Sunday 6th January which also happens to be twelfth night.  I started a daily drawing project 2 years ago and lasted 9 days so lets see if I can keep this one going!

Liberty

I attended the Best of British Design Open Call at Liberty's in London yesterday with my suitcase of Hand-Cut & Drawn cards. The event is an opportunity for designers and makers to meet buyers for Liberty, show their wares and get some advice and possibly be selected to sell work in the shop at a later date. I arrived at 11.00 and managed to avoid the queues which had built up from 7am. I met 2 buyers and had 3 minutes to pitch my product. They liked the cards and gave me some constructive advice about how to present them and suggested I return for the next open call in August.

Mrs Abington, English Actress 2007

Mrs "ABINGTON" in the character of Miss Prue in William Congreve's bawdy comedy, Love for Love. Miss Prue is a "NAIVE" country girl who is seduced by a predatory, half-witted dandy. Mrs Abington had worked in a brothel before making her name on the stage and was, when "REYNOLDS" painted her, the "MISTRESS" of a wealthy MP.
