A Little Something New
It might seem like I haven’t made anything new for a long time because I really haven’t been blogging much about new work, but I’ve been busy in the background & will have some new things to offer for the holidays. A few nice people have contacted me to ask when my new online shop will open, & the answer is, things always take longer than you anticipate, but my shop will be open in about two weeks. Keep an eye on the sidebar of my blog…there will be a fun new addition right at the top where you’ll be able to take a peek through the window & visit my shop.
Meanwhile, I’ve just designed this 2012 calendar for Etsy, which I’m rather happy with! If you’d like to get hold of one (it’s being printed as an A3 poster), Etsy will be giving them away (yesiree – free) at the following events leading up to Christmas, starting with Bowerbird right here in my hometown, Adelaide.
Did you know Etsy has appointed a representative right here in Australia? Her name is Kirsteene & she’s busy helping out the local Etsy community & promoting Australian Etsy shop owners here & internationally. She’ll be attending the events & giving away Etsy promo stuff (including the calendar). Go & have a chat!
Bowerbird Bazaar, 28-30th October, Adelaide
Finders Keepers, 5th & 6th November, Brisbane
Markit@FedSquare, 27th November, Melbourne
Finders Keepers, 2nd & 3rd December, Sydney
If you’re not able to make your way to any of these events, don’t worry, when I get hold of some of the calendars I might give away one or two on my blog.
I was so very happy to be asked to design a promotional poster for Etsy. I’ve been a member of the Etsy community, as both a shop owner & shopper, since 2006, & I know just how much love & pride people put into their shops & products & how much hard work & dedication it takes to be an independent artist/crafter. So I feel very proud to be able to represent such hardworking, creative folk by helping promote Etsy with this calendar. Hopefully it will end up stuck on people’s fridges, walls & pinboards for the whole of 2012 & they’ll be reminded to visit Etsy (& Magic Jelly!!) whenever they want to buy someone a gift or something nice for themselves!
Wow, lovely calendar!
Thank you! I think my favourite is the weasel. :)

Well done! I spent a few hours rolling these at the Etsy stand at Bowerbird Bazaar – I was so pleased that it was designed by an Adelaide artist ;)
