Many of my intricate pen drawings are available as high quality prints - despite prices going up so much these have stayed £30 since I first started selling them in 2017. I’ve always wanted to offer something affordable. Which is your favourite?

FRIDAY SHOP PLUG!

Combining my love of folklore and stupid dances here are some linocut mummers. Mummers were (are) cavorting masked performers in folk play or mime often demanding food or booze for their efforts…

If you love seeing my work and wish to support me with a monthly ‘tip’ of £3 then you can sign up to be part of my members’ club. I rarely mention it because I feel a bit icky asking for financial help with not a lot in return (member’s do get 10% discount in my shop & my eternal gratefulness).

It’s so good to be back in the studio this morning painting a goldfinch and roses. Caught in a moment for ever.

A special request from a customer has led to me listing the Hidden Owl coasters as sets on their own, as well as with the mugs on both the web page and my Etsy shop. Just choose from the drop down menu.

Now in my Etsy store “Naturelostandfound”. Unfortunately the paper is buckled though hence the low price but I’m sure it could be squished under glass. It’s a cool piece…I like it anyway.. ✨
