Fine Art Giclee Prints - Limited and Beautiful!

I have been searching for months for the best way to transform my original watercolours into beautiful, professional quality Fine Art Prints.

This might sound surprising to some who know my own personal preference for Originals over prints, and wherever I can I would rather save up and buy one original, rather than ten digital prints.
This was untill I discovered Lisa Falzon's work who, as a digital artist, doesn't have originals for sale. I waved the white flag of surrender and took back my promise to never buy a digital print.
The quality was gorgeous... I've sinced invested in several of her prints, and knew I would like to be able to offer something similar. I wouldn't settle for less, I didn't want cheap photo paper, I wanted luxurious heavy cotton paper, and lustrous archival inks.

I am delighted to announce my search has come to an end!!!

I am announcing the first four artworks to be released in a highly limited edition of 20 prints each.

Professionally printed on luxurious 310 g/m2 ARCHES cotton rag paper: 100% cotton, completely natural with no chemical additives. Printed with Archival Giclee, acid free Inks.

I was most delighted when the few friends whom I have shown the prints responded with amazed exclamations of "Wow!" :-) The quality really is fantastic, they work really well on a slightly bigger scale.... it has inspired me to work a little bigger too from now on, the drawings look nice as A4's...

Please visit my Etsy Boutique to see them!

Down the Rabbit Hole....

Hello my darlings! I wanted to share a quick overview of my recent activity:

~ I went a little crazy when Meluseena announced her special print offer, and took full advantage of her generosity! *edit* I received them today, oh my... they are so beautiful!! Can't wait to share them here once I've framed them all - which will be a horrific experience!!!

~ I've purchased a new doll from a new artist, I'll introduce her when she arrives :-)

~ Secret project is going along well. I've almost become accustomed to the cramped feeling in my drawing hand! All will be unveiled mid-march...


I remembered something I made a while back, but had forgotten to share, and would love to do so now!
I opened up a "redbubble" account to sell my designs on T-Shirts, but haven't really done much with it. It's a great little site, the shirts are all printed on American Apparel, so I'm a big fan of knowing where the shirts are being made, and that they're excellent quality.
Once the project I'm working on is over, I'll be investing some more time into creating a range of lovely and quirky t-shirt designs.

Here's my "Falling Alice" shirt:

And after I received it (be forwarned, it's all wrinkly in the photo, my un-housewife-ishness shines through! I'll have to take a better photo soon!)

Things that made me happy this week:


-strawberries were huge and on sale

-I saw a preview of an artwork being made for me by artist Marina Bychkova (more on her later)

-My new job is fantastic. I even love hours of blackening rings "great!"

-My love will be comming home in under 2 weeks

-My Exhibition is in 2 weeks (wah!!!!)

and lastly, I received some gorgeous pocket mirrors and tiny pin-back buttons with my art on them, Hurray!!

This called for a new look to my etsy shop, where I sell originals and merchandise featuring my art year round.
