Dogs In Flower Crowns And Birthdays!

Meet Pepper, a gorgeous commission of late wearing a floral crown.
I'm always thrilled when I'm asked to add a few accessories, especially when they are floral based!

As well as sharing this piece, I'll also let you in on the fact that it's my birthday.
Yep, I'm turing older, and hopefully wiser ; )

Have a super one too from me and Pepper

Christmas Gifts And Wallpaper Samples

Where did that holiday go?
Hope you had a lovely Christmas. I have been away in paris (lucky me) and then back visiting family and friends in my hometown, also very nice.

Over the holiday period I received the below gifts, and also my Spoonflower wallpaper samples arrived. Thrilled with all.
Super kitsch Bosson plaster dog heads, cat brooch from Bels Art World, geometric brooch from Modern Art Oxford and obligatory ceramic dog! Thank you all.

Hope you received some thoughtful gifts too, but more than anything that you spent time relaxing and enjoying the company of some nice people. x x x

Fabric On Spoonflower

Hello,
Hope you've had a good week.
It's been a busy one here, lots of commissions for christmas being completed.
Some I'll be able to share soon, but in the meantime....

I got my act together and added some fabrics to Spoonflower.
There's a limited selection so far, but there will soon be more.
So far we have canines and some vintage dolls.
But soon there will be plenty of florals heading on there too.

Canines and polka dots to end the week. x x x

Watercolour Canines And Doll Duos

Well, I must say I'm loving using watercolours.

So continuing on from dolls, here's a few more dolls/humans and canine duos.
Will soon be offering custom portraits and prints of some of these.

A Poodle And A Gift Of Flowers For Tuesday

Hello!

Yesterday had a few unexpected surprises, which made Monday a good day.
A feature on my new floral doodles and embroideries over at Print & Pattern kicked things off.
It's always nice to get some good press, especially from a blog that you follow and look at regularly.
Thanks Marie : )

So to celebrate here's a poodle bearing the gift of flowers. x x x

Hard To Get

Someones playing hard to get.
But will that cool exterior pay off?

As well as other commissions, xmas card designs and teaching I've been playing around with a Poodle Doodle.

Vintage Poodle Tin Portrait - Available Soon x

This week as well as working on commissions I've been doing some packing for the big move from Bath to Oxford!
It's meant I've had some time to appreciate some of my collected tat that I can at times overlook.
These vintage tins with canines on them are just a few of those things.
It inspired me to draw a vintage tin poodle portrait : )

There's plenty of scope for added kitschness with these.
I look forward to be able to offer them very soon.

A Poodle And Polka Dots

Bonjour and a happy Friday to you.
It's continued to be a busy week, but lots done, so all is good.

Off to the Art Flea in Stroud tomorrow, looking forward to selling some wares and meeting new people.
In the meantime, here's a poodle and some polka dots for you.

The Reunion - Mantelpiece Meet-Ups

Once they were together, but no longer.

A chance placing whilst dusting occurs has them reunited.

But for how long?

The Bath Priory + Ceramic Flower + Ceramic Dog = A good weekend

Hello,
Hope you had a glorious weekend.
I went for my first ever Michelin Star meal on Saturday lunchtime.
The Bath Priory was the venue and it was super good.
From delightful surroundings, to good wine, the best hot bread I've had in a looong time, delicious desserts ( that's right 2, well one was the petit fours, but trust me, it was a second dessert ) and exceptional company.
Overall a total winner. If you can go, and fancy a treat, then do. You won't be disappointed.

As well as the above it I managed to do a bit of drawing. Here's some of my shelf decorations.
Not quite as fancy as the Priory's decor, but it suits me fine : D x

When ceramic dogs fall in love x

I think a few of my ornaments have fallen in love.
There might be a love triangle going on, as yet we're not sure ; )

Have a fabulous weekend whatever you're up to.
