What you see in the video is everything that's left, so get your orders in soon if you'd like any for Christmas presents. Currently plenty of singing and snowsports sprouts, but I'm running low on skaters and Christmas feast teas. (Also plenty of non-festive tea towels available). #ChristmasShopping

I managed to find a small digital fabric-printing company in Manchester to get them printed and made up here in the UK. They let me print in small batches, so it really helps me as an independent #designer...

The #sprouts became a tradition, getting up to new antics in my #ChristmasCards each year (singing, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating...). It was so exciting to see my little ol' sprouts escaping paper onto tea towels for the first time...

As well as my finished products, this is where I store my packaging, envelopes, #drawing materials, #paints, some old #sketchbooks and a box of neglected marbling and paper-making materials, which I may one day come back to!

Give me a follow and join me tomorrow for Day 2 🙂

Most excitingly it has suitable shelves for storing my #WrappingPaper! 🥳 It was always a nightmare finding flat surfaces to keep my wrapping paper safe before and they were often stacked on the kitchen table, or in a cupboard folded in half.

This is me in my natural habitat - at my desk in my #studio (spare room). Behind me you can see my shop HQ / warehouse. I'm so glad to have got these shelves in place, which means I can now organise my stock and have it easily accessible when I need to pick and pack orders.

Day 1) The theme is 'Merry Meet & Greet' which is all about posting a #photo of yourself or your workspace and sharing a little about yourself.

So that's the scariest one right off the bat - being on camera, with no sprouts to hide behind! Here goes...

I'm comfortable sketching with my Huion pen now, but I'm still finding the best way of painting the colour in, so the bulk of the time went into playing around with the colour & getting the green sprouts how I wanted them.

I'm now selling cards of the finished #design at folksy.com/find/shop/LD...

I just need to get the idea out of my head an onto paper (or, in this case, screen) before I can start playing around with composition and setting...
