Phew, i'm pooped after a long day, but i've got just enough energy to post my Letter B Brooch, a bit later than promised, but here it is!

My Type of fun.

I have been drawing lots of typefaces recently, looking for the perfect one for a bit of laser treatment. And here it is, the letter 'A' in all it's glory, modelled by the beautiful Beth

I was reminded today just how lucky I am to be attending the Cambridge School of Art Illustration course, which is brilliant anyway, as my friends are all so talented and helpful. The lovely Beth and Anna (who you should know!) sported my brooches whilst my sexy Belgian friend Helene took photographs. Proper fun! 





My newest addition went on sale today at the usual spot, my Etsy shop and you can expect letter 'B' to follow tomorrow!

Slow progress

I've been having a somewhat pesky creativity blockage of late. The worst thing about that is there's nothing to post up. So instead i'll treat you to these lovely stamps. They would be great to use for numbering Etsy items or chapter headings.

Oh, oh, oh. I was very grateful of an invite last night to go and see The King's Speech with Connie. I was hoping it hadn't been hyped up too much so that I might be disappointed. In fact I much enjoyed it, and it left me with a very regal feeling.

It was filmed at Hatfield House, and I shall like to go there.

When I was younger I said that I would like to be one of those people who gets crushed by a wall of their stuff falling down on them. Not because I was a very morbid child, you understand... but because I wanted to hoard on a GRAND scale.

I've since decided to hoard only the good stuff, and to try to keep it on a scale that fits my domestic situation. I found some good stuff t'other day, whilst on a charity shop binge. I have taken some pictures for you to share in my joy.





Ta.

New thing.

I have just put up a new wooden goose brooch for sale on my etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/listing/65558296/wooden-goose-brooch


I also found a weird Jigsaw puzzle seller on etsy, who happens to have a very nice goose puzzle.

New Year, new blog.

After technologically updating myself thoroughly last year, I opened my Etsy shop in November - http://www.etsy.com/shop/NikkiGardham - and I started a blog, but knowing most of the blogs I follow are on Blogger I have inevitably made the move. So goodbye old blog, and hello blogger.








My Red Apple, White Donkey and Blue Goose brooches are now in my shop.
