More cards and wooden Christmas decorations

Not such a long wait this time people :-) As before I've been very busy doing some more cards, and also some pyrographed wooden Christmas decorations, a new thing for me to try out. So far they have been very popular, in fact most of the ones in the photo's have already sold, but I thought I'd share them with you, as I'm already doing more of a very similar design.

Jim and I did a Christmas fair last week, and I have to say it was quite good fun. It was for the Green Party, so as you would expect there were quite a lot of alternative and hippy type people, which pleased me a lot. There was also live music of lots of different genres throughout the day, towards the end there was some music that I can only describe as medieval type music, much to my surprise a couple of lady customers started dancing lol, and they danced in between all the stalls for the whole set, which was sometimes quite difficult as the fair was busy right up until the end. But everyone took it all in good part and I think as much of the applause was for the dancers as the musicians lol.

Anyway here's my latest creations, the cards are £2.50 each the same as the others, and the pyrographed decs have got the prices on them, I put a 20p piece in the centre to give you some idea of the size of them. By the way these decorations were all made from fallen wood, and no tree's were harmed. The top set of decorations are £2 each, the 2nd lot £1.50 each, and the last lot £1 each.

I'm back !!!

Yes my readers I'm back lol, I've had a really busy couple of months. As always my blog has had to take a back seat till things calm down a bit. Most of the time I've been busy making crafty things for Christmas fairs. I thought I'd show you some cards I've been making, not Christmas cards as I think plenty of people make those, so I thought I'd do some blank ones. They are all hand painted ...no prints for me ( I haven't got a printer lol ) and all pretty much unique as I'd never be able to recreate them exactly even if I wanted too.

Here we go then, they are all 10.5cms by 15cms, they come with an envelope and are sealed in cello bags. Any of these are yours for £2.50 each plus p/p. A bargain for a hand painted card I reckon :) I'm happy to take paypal.

First a set of cats as I know  how many of you love cats. I'm also happy to do them in any colour combination you prefer.

I almost forgot, these are the three panels I did using wood chippings. At long last I finished them...took forever as I kept getting side tracked doing other things. It isn;t a good photo I'll try and take a better one soon with a close up of the detail.
