U.S customers, my miniature paintings are exempt from tariffs, so the postage remains much the same!

Kerching! 💃💃
I did a very small farmers market this morning and sales were pretty dire until a lady came up to ask for THREE original #VintageMap paintings!!
Just shows its worth trying smaller events as well as the big ones 😊

This cute wee puppy is available on my website.
She is handmade from textiles and wears a beautiful red polkadot skirt. Oh, and she is holding a little bone saved for a snack later 🙃

Please remember #smallbusinesses during shopping #boycotts. My business is just me, I make part-time wages for full time work and I sell via Etsy as its too costly to sell via my own website. This time of year is crucial. Please share ty x

Ugh what is the new Wuthering Heights film I am glad now that Dev Patel wasn't Heathcliff because it looks horrific. The 1970 film, while far from perfect, and halved the story, captured the spirit of the book. Timothy Dalton and Anna Calder Marshall are the definitive Cathy and Heathcliff for me.

All of my little fruit dishes are in stock - some with larger versions too. Great stocking fillers or gift their favourite fruit to someone.

The "owl queen" in Welsh mythology is Blodeuwedd, who was transformed into an owl as a punishment for plotting to kill her husband, Lleu Llaw Gyffes. Originally created from flowers, she was cursed to become a creature of the night, often associated with wisdom and transformation.
#WyrdWednesday
Today's little watercolour sketch of an owl. I created this piece using watercolour paints on paper.
