Bob, John, cats and Yoko

Ahhh, finally a weekend at Spike Print studio - embossing (it's like a gym workout but more satisfying!) printing pop icons and cats while listening to Radio 4...whoever it was on Desert Island Discs chose a Bob song - just as I was gold leafing bits of his guitar!

I've amazingly sold all the cat bags from the first run, so did some more on saturday, he was a tricky beast to print - messy fur! Meeeeeeeeeeeow.

I like to think I made the most of the first sunny saturday in ages - by holding up my embossing at the window!

It's the second edition for John and Yoko, so John is now sporting a jaunty stripey number.

long time no post

Admittedly I have been neglecting my blog recently - poor thing...Here's a little (very little) glimpse into what's been going on chez Lottie inbetween drawing more sweets, teapots and other very hard work!

listening to an old favourite cd and a new one

actually got this lovely little moustache at the rainy fair I did a few weeks ago - I've been meaning to mention it for a while

I bought this on the same day to cheer myself up in the rain!

and finally a sneaky peak into a new project I'm working on...

pick'n'mix

my desk has been full of sweets and I've been annoying ladies in sweet shops by asking for one of everything for the past few weeks...it's all in the name of tea towels, not finished but nearly, then the eating can begin (hurrah)...hello dentist!

Stealthy Emily

A few weeks ago I had some work up in shop in Lewes called Wickle, my unwanted (sob!) Kate 'n' Wills print came back wrapped up in paper illustrated by EmilyWarrenhttp://thestealthyrabbit.blogspot.com who's work I love! Have a look at this...much better than the print inside!

4 prints in 2 days

just before the rainy market I did an epic 2 day printathon and managed what I'd like to think is pretty darned impressive 4 different prints (one was me finishing the kong edition, so I haven't shown it again).

I'm liking the colour combinations on this test sheet!

mr grizzzly is sooooo gold. (please excuse the bad scanning)!

rainy weekend pt.2

it was an even rainier weekend for Bath art fringe art market, it was very nearly cancelled. There was much sitting in the nearby cafe and drinking the biggest coffee they had on offer (so here's my first ever coffee cup shot, it had an impressive swirl on top so ignore the slight spillage).

Anyway it went ahead in the drizzle but wasn't the greatest, rumour is they may try again in august...when it will be sunny and won't rain! We had a really nice display though, thanks to Gill's collection of old wooden drawers and tin trunk...and her dad's frame making skills, learned through years of record fairs.

that was before we moved further under the shelter of the trees and covered everything with a plastic sheet!

from this to....

...a little grrrizzly (in the case at the back)

rainy weekend

it was a bit rainy over the bank holiday and the Bear flat open studio weekend...but it was fun, met lots of people prepared to brave the weather in the name of art - hurrah. There would be more photos but I've mislaid my camera - oops.

this sunday there's an art market in Bath's Kingsmead Square (near Boston Tea Party - so it will be coffee all the way). I'm sharing a table with my friend Gill and spending the next few days printing a few new things...busy busy.
