ella, ella, ey...

hello, eeee sorry its been SO LONG since i blogged! heres a little post about a print i got from the amazingly talented Ella Mobbs a while ago! i got it in a flash 50% off sale and as id been eyeing up this and a few of the other prints for ages, i knew i had to get it while it was so cheap. this worked out at about £12 INCLUDING shipping from Australia, which is AMAZING.

here is the CUTE sugar skull print i got, and i LOVE IT!

 Ella also included a cute postcard, which is now on my wall above the print, which i put in an old gold frame i had, NICE:

... heres the postcard, some stickers and a lovely business card, which has gone into my little book of business cards/stickers etc.

here are the stickers on one of my sketchbooks, HOORAY!

have yourself a curly christmas...

ok, so this post title might be a bit confusing, but never fear, it will all become clear.

again, this blog post features the kind and talented Tim Easley, who offered to send some of his own christmas cards out to his facey b friends, and as im a fan of Tims stuff, i asked for one.

he also did a special christmas 'moustache' doodle in the middle of the card, and asked what each individual person wanted, which was cool. i asked for a really curly one, and thats what i got! first though, heres the front of the card:

heres the inside of the card, look at that curly wurly 'tache:

i love the card, thanx so much, Tim! merry xmas to you, too!

Made in China

hello all, how are yah?

so this is a post about a little giveaway i entered and WON from the lovely Lucy Farfort, which you can see details of here: http://www.lucyfarfort.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/a-folky-little-giveaway.html ive followed Lucy for ages on twitter and she does cute illustrations and stuff, so have a look if you can.

anyway, in the giveaway i won some pretty and delicate authentic chinese papercut pieces, which i just thought were so unusual and sweet, and i really want to use them to collage a little wooden storage box or table or something and add some gold/silver leaf. i think thatd look awesome! watch out  for a post on that, when i do something with them! seriously though, the papercuts are so pretty, here are some photos: 

the paper pieces are so thin and delicate. lovely:

do you all love the papercuts as much as i do? have you ever seen them before? do you own any!?

i hope youve enjoyed reading this post and do leave a little comment if you like!?
