Valentines Already!

I know, I know, we are not even in February yet!  Still, it pays to leave plenty of time to sort these things out, especially if you are buying gifts online.  To that end, I have added a temporary new section to my Folksy shop labelled 'Valentines', to make it that much easier to find my more romantic pieces.

I already have a few heart-themed items, and I have listed some new pieces with Valentine's day in mind.  This is a selection of those pieces, or you can click the link above to take you to my Folksy shop to see the rest.

However, Folksy has a huge range of Valentines items, in a variety of media including cards, textiles, candles and more.  Even better, they have helpfully gathered them all together for you to browse through - just click the badge below to take you to all things tagged 'Valentines'.


Happy Valentines to all you lovebirds out there!

Folksy Friday: Insects

Hello again fellow bloggers! Didn't keep up with my blogging as promised after that last post, did I?!  Bit hectic here, lots to catch up with!  Anyway, here is another Folksy Friday for your consideration, based around another of my interests - bugs!
I have always been fascinated by insects - when I was younger I thought I might be an entomologist, and had great plans to write and illustrate my own book on insects!  So, for anybody out there who shares an interest in all things creepy crawly, here are a selection of the beautiful insect-related items that I have found on Folksy.

The Insectarium - Humbug the Spider Jesse's Crafty Corner - Cuthbert Caterpillar Brooch
Lingford Illustration - Praying Mantis Print Warbeck & Cox - Beetle Napkins
Hollowbourne - Millipede Brooch Chillustration - A6 Beetle Notebook
As always, please click on the images above to take you to the sellers' shops to find out more about each item.
