Stickers and general stickyness

The postman brought my new logo stickers today. These are for me to stick on things like my letters...prints...envelopes...cards...stationary...my little assistant's forehead...and such like. I had some fun with them anyway, I obviously had far too much time on my hands this afternoon...

Inky seahorses

Seeing as its pretty cold outside now & the sea is even colder, I thought I'd cheer myself up with some tropical turquoise.
This little seahorse definitely doesn't need a 5mm wetsuit & boots, I wish I was him...

Good friday

I like a good friday and today is a good friday. 

Top of the thrill list this morning was unexpectedly getting a new bathroom sink fitted - this may be low on the excitement-meter in the grand scheme of things but the taps are very nice and shiny.

Then the postman arrived, complete with some jeans I'd ordered (didn't fit) and a parcel from Australia. Always exciting. But more exciting on this occasion because it was filled with a proof samples of my new card range with Blue Island Press. Whippee! 

To round things of, there's a little piece on me in this month's Surfgirl magazine, who are always very nice to me, so thank you Surfgirl.

Christmas, yes, Christmas cards...

I know Christmas seems to start far too early nowadays, but seeing as it's less than a week until November I thought it wouldn't be too out the way to start getting a bit festive - so with that in mind, I've been surprisingly organised & produced a set of 6 Christmas cards.

I'll be selling these on my etsy shop as well as locally but you can also order them directly from me - just drop me an email at mellyhamilton@hotmail.com or a text (if you have my number!) or facebook me.

Cards are: 

Tree : Baubles : Snowflake 

Single - £1.50

4 pack  (4 x 1 design) - £4.50 

6 pack (1 of each design) - £6.50

12 pack (2 of each design) - £12.50

Postage is the usual Royal Mail charges & nothing on top (unless you live near me & I'll deliver them for free!)

Shopping & guinea fowls

I created some prints for the SurfGirl Beach Boutique shop - you can have a look & a buy here.

I also felt like drawing a guinea fowl. I'm not sure if he's too impressed with his new tribal-style feathers or not...

'Tribal Guinea Fowl'

A print of an original drawing, which I created with pen, ink & watercolour.

I love the black & white glossy, spotted feathers of the guinea fowl. This one gets a splash of sea-coloured tribal to go with its dots.

High quality print on thick, matte, archival paper.

This print will be approx. 8" x 7" with a white border for framing.

Cold worms

Summer is officially over - the airs cold, the seas cold, and I've got a cold. Boo. 
Last week (before the cold) Sunny & I went on a walk, which turned into a nature walk. She loves her creatures & we spotted slugs, spiders, snails, crows, hoverflies & a worm. Lovely.
It reminded me about when I was small & we lived in Kenya - our school backed onto a national park so on the way home we'd often go on a little animal spotting session. I had a little reminisce & here's part of a work in progress..

 I've also been busy getting some greetings card designs ready for a new project. These will be available soon (ish!) but contact me if you like them and would like a card/to see the rest/have a custom design...this can all be organised! 

happy fridays

Smile, it's Friday :)
