Something old. Something new.

Nope, not getting married. Just getting organised.

It's taken me weeks to get a decent scan of my final piece for the group show that's been and gone and is all but forgotten! I was in the throes of a mild obsession with chickens (ever seen the book Extraordinary Chickens?) when I illustrated Fox:



So now that's out of the way, I can focus on Christmas.

I've been toying with an idea about using candy canes in a different way. Slightly cabaret. Slightly burlesque.

By the same token, I'm cautious about being too blatantly risque with a Christmas card image as this may not be the merry message everyone wants to send!

So 'Candy' may be sexy, but she's also keeping herself nice:



I've popped her in my Etsy shop as a single card, pack of 5 and pack of 10.



Have a great weekend!

Here they are:

Stitch

It's all gone crazy!

So Christmas was quiet

(cue the chirping crickets)



But January...in the immortal words of Steve Irwin - CRIKEY.

I'm not sure what's going on in Etsy Land - although I did make the front page at one point and I guess everyone's got some Christmas play money to shop with - but it's been insanely busy.




I even made the Top Sellers (minus suppliers - I ain't never gonna beat them suppliers) list on Etsy Tools.



So this is all very exciting and unexpected. And on the last day of holidays.

So I'd better stop blogging and get my arse upstairs into the studio to pack up a whole heap of goodies for my customers.

Yeeeee haaaaa!
