Hello

Hello, just a little post to say I'm back! I have been working on a big jewellery related project since January that has meant little time for anything else, so I haven't been doing any Pet Portraits recently. However, the project is finishing soon and I will be back to the Pet Portraits.

Due to this, I have nothing exciting to show you, but hopefully there will be artwork soon for you to look at. There may also be a Facebook page to look at soon as I have discovered the joys of Facebook!!

Something a bit different

I have just wrapped up my latest Pet Portrait for taking to the Post Office and I now don't have any commissions to do. This is a very strange feeling as I have had at least one on the waiting list for the last few years now. But i'm all up to date. I have also added Pickles, Pebbles and Arillus to the Group Portraits Gallery.

However, I don't rely on the portraits for my income as I also work part time in a 'proper job', so it is actually quite nice to be able to work on some of my own artwork. I have plans for some ACEOs and OSWOA (more about them in another post), as well as some larger pastel dog paintings.

I have also been working on something a bit different - making Jewellery. I love crafting and have wanted to try jewellery making for a long time now, so have been practising over the last few months and have made a couple of pieces to sell. I have plans for making my own web shop but currently have them for sale on Etsy, which is a website for the sale of all craft and vintage items. The craft items are going to be for sale under the banner Northern Dawn. My etsy shop is at Northern Dawn. Please note all the prices are in US dollars as it is an American site.
