Valentines Tweeters

I found the most beautiful little selection of vintage matchboxes a wee while back and have been saving them for something special...
Here are the first peeks at a very limited range of 10 bird brooches in these little rose illustrated matchboxes...please get in touch if you would like to order one...there are 6 left!

Priced at £22 each

'Loving You'

Some new pieces were packaged up and sent out to 'The Craft Centre and Design Gallery' in Leeds this week...

this little assortment featured some much asked after bird houses, a new take on something I worked on a couple of years back...just 2 so far, pink and yellow houses. Prices for these with bird start at £200.

The featured work also includes these little fellows below...please email any enquiries.
'Loving You' is on from 24th January until the end of March.

Website

After an age of wanting to do it...I have finally updated and relaunched my website!
Hooray!!

It's been such a long time in coming and is finally a setup that my computer illiteracy can overcome.

It's not all totally sorted and fully stocked, but it's a better representation of the work I am making now and finally showcases some of the illustration work I do as a freelancer.
I hope it goes down well and brings in some exciting new projects for the year...I'm certainly a lot happier with it.
Come on over for a looksee:

'Folksy', 'DaWanda' and 'All Things Original'...

Whilst Etsy will remain the first stop for a wider range of abigailbrown goodies...I'm now set up on Folksy and DaWanda...and nearly...very nearly...on All Things Original.
Certainly easier to shop from Folksy and avoid the confusing exchange rates!

Puffin

I had a lovely commission this month to make a little puffin...obviously with a specified species this had to look as closely like a puffin as possible...
...I think it manages it!
It's the first of a new series of work I'm starting which looks at specific bird species...any bird fanatics stay tuned!! Im becoming a little bird geek learning all about the different kinds of birds, I think it's going to keep me in my Bird phase for some time!

Handmade Hellos!

I am super behind on this posting!!...Earlier this year I worked on a project with Hello Lucky! and Chronicle Books, contributing to a craft book which shows you step by step how to make a range of beautiful cards, designed by a host of talented greetings card makers.

PoissonBulle

The lovely Isabelle, founder of French decal company 'Poisson Bulle' invited me to design a series of wall decals and adhesive borders.

I can't reveal too much until they are launched in the new year but can afford a sneaky snippet and a link for you to check out Poisson Bulle's existing range...

adorable!!
