Lesley contacted me to design some postcards for her new business… posting out boxes of homemade fudge.
Happy Chinese New Year - 2021 is a year of the Ox
The year of the Metal Ox brings success in careers & business, prosperity, and wellness. I was asked to design a greeting card for the year of the ox for a company to send to their colleagues in Taiwan.
The 100 day illustration project begins…
For the last 3 years I have joined in with the 100 day project and it’s been such a good thing to do and makes me create an illustration every day which is something I really love to do but in realiity (without a push) often doesn’t happen because of time. This year I’ve chosen to do 100 days of emotions - this is so that I can concentrate on creating people characters which I would normally shy away from, but I’m going to mix some animals in too!

Christmas presents I created this year for my family
This year I made many of my Christmas presents (as well as shopping small, and supporting other small businesses).
I created a ‘run’ hoodie (with hand painted lettering) for my sister Lizzy who loves to RUN all the time!
Personalised pony prints
Anyone that knows me knows that I love horses - and I really love making these personalised pony prints. They’re created as papercuts from photos of the ponies and include hand created lettering… The photos of the girls with their special prints are so very lovely to see!
bespoke orders
I loved creating these initial interest bags -
This one was the initial A… with crafting, singing, dancing and flowers…
from sketchbook drawing to hoodie design
Happy New Year - it’s back to work for me today (well, kind of with the kids here too). I had lots of new year thoughts and ideas for Alice Palace, but they’ll just have to go on hold while I concentrate on creating orders and getting them posted out, alongside doing a little bit of everything else that life throws at us over the next couple of months. My sister asked for this ‘don’t care a fig!’ illustration that I did as part of the inktober challenge as a hoodie for christmas…
Time for a Christmas break
This year has been like no other and it’s definitely time to take a break - we’ll be back in January.
Last ordering date
It’s been a very busy few weeks and because parcels are taking longer in the post, we’ve decided to bring the last ordering date forward to Thursday 17th December.
