Here’s my Little Red Hen (or Farm Chicken) does she qualify for #BirdoftheDay #walking ? #EastCoastKin #smArtist

We say this often but it always bears repeating - reviews, follows, likes, reposts and comments all give such a lift to #smallbiz. So be like @piratito.com and give #shopindie creatives all the encouragement they deserve ✊ #supportsmallbusiness

Just went back to leave (late, whoops) reviews for christmas pressies I bought on etsy - so this is a reminder to you if you bought from a small business lately. January is notoriously slow for us, and this is a great way to support us further that won't cost you a cent, but means a lot! #SmallBiz

I saw the first snow drops yesterday, Spring is on the horizon and I look foward to the return of the daffodils. This delicate little miniature is looking for a new home, and comes with a tiny display easel.

Sorry I didn't get here for the start of #UKGiftHour this morning. So lovely to see all your unique creations.
I was distracted by the sudden urge to design a Greenland flag very late last night, so I'm just getting that up on my website now...

I’ve mainly been perpetually single - so some of my cards work for Galentine’s or Pal-entine’s too, cos platonic friends have been my main loves. So if you wanna share the love with friends - all my cards are blank (Last one is #polyamory friendly too!)

This is a photo montage of some of my greeting cards which are reproduced from my original linocuts. Plants are the subject matter in all of them, and they mostly appear on a plain coloured background. They are each lying on a wooden table surrounded by wildflowers. The overall look is very rustic as I like my work to celebrate the natural world.
