I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since my last Eleri Haf Designs calendar! I was determined to create a calendar again for 2027 with Stiwdo Eleri, and I’m delighted to announce that it’s ready - and I actually finished it on time, much to Lee’s surprise and, if I’m honest, my own as well! 😆

My 2027 calendar celebrates Britain’s natural world all year round with 12 hand-illustrated designs, originally painted using vegan watercolours (no AI slop!).

With every calendar sold, £1 will be donated to Action for ME to support the Sequence ME & Long Covid research initiative - a pioneering study striving to find answers, biological markers and treatments for millions affected worldwide.

While designing each month, I aimed to capture a snapshot of the wildlife, flowers and leaves found in our gardens, woodlands, hedgerows and along our coastlines as the seasons change. Because many people living with ME & Long Covid are too unwell to go outside or even to look out of the window, I hope this calendar brings a little piece of the outside world to those who are able to look at it - offering a comforting glimpse of nature, no matter the time of year.

At the bottom of each month’s page, you’ll also find a list of the animals, flowers and leaves featured in that month’s design.

I hope you like what you see! You can pre-order the calendar via my Etsy shop, where I’m offering an early-bird discount. EARLYBIRD10 is the code!

Alla i ddim credu ei bod hi’n dair blynedd ers fy nghalendr Eleri Haf Designs diwethaf! Roeddwn i’n benderfynol o greu calendr eto ar gyfer 2027 gyda Stiwdo Eleri, ac rwy’n falch iawn o gyhoeddi ei fod yn barod! 🙌

Mae fy nghalendr 2027 yn dathlu byd natur Cymru drwy gydol y flwyddyn, gyda 12 dyluniad wedi’u paentio â law yn wreiddiol, gan ddefnyddio dyfrlliwiau fegan (dim AI!).

Am bob calendr sy’n cael ei brynu, bydd £1 yn cael ei roi i elusen Action For ME er mwyn cefnogi prosiect ymchwil Sequence ME & Covid Hir - astudiaeth arloesol sy’n ceisio dod o hyd i atebion, biomarcwyr a thriniaethau ar gyfer y miliynau sydd wedi eu heffeithio yn fyd-eang.

Pan ro’n i’n creu dyluniad pob mis, fy mwriad oedd i ddal cipolwg ar fywyd gwyllt, blodau a dail Prydain - y rhai rydyn ni’n eu gweld yn ein gerddi, ein coetiroedd, ein perthi, ac ar hyd ein harfordir wrth i’r tymhorau newid. Gan fod llawer o bobl sy’n byw gydag ME a COVID Hir yn rhy sâl i fynd allan neu hyd yn oed i edrych allan o’r ffenestr, rwy’n gobeithio bod y calendr hwn yn dod â darn bach o’r byd y tu allan i’r rhai sy’n gallu edrych arno - gan gynnig cipolwg cysurus ar natur, ni waeth pa adeg o’r flwyddyn ydy hi.

Ar waelod tudalen pob mis, fe welwch hefyd restr o’r anifeiliaid, blodau a dail sydd i’w gweld yn nyluniad y mis hwnnw.

Rwy’n gobeithio eich bod chi’n hoffi’r galendr! Gallwch ei archebu fel “pre-order” drwy fy siop Etsy, lle dwi’n cynnig gostyngiad i’r rhai sy’n archebu’n gynnar. EARLYBIRD10 yw’r côd!

Shwmae! 👋 Hello again! 👋 Following a much needed break after closing Eleri Haf Designs last year, I’ve been quietly working on a few new things that I’d like to tell you about ☺️

Late last year, I opened The Watercolour Geek , where I’ve been selling custom watercolour palettes and samples, which has been a lot of fun! If you are interested in painting and want to try out watercolour, please do check it out. 🎨

The big news, however, is that I have opened a new shop dedicated to my wildlife and nature artwork. I’m pleased to introduce you to Stiwdio Eleri (Eleri’s Studio)! I have lots more work to do on my shop, and will be updating it little by little over the next month. But you can take a look at it via the link in my bio! You may even spot something exciting that I haven’t done for a few years listed on there as a pre-order too...I’ll do a post about this soon! 🗓️

It feels lovely to be back to sharing and selling my art. Diolch o galon / Thank you so much for sticking around after all this time! I hope you’ll like the new shop & logo and I’m looking forward to sharing more with you soon ☺️

Cariad mawr,

Rhinoceros Gwyn Y De (Ceratotherium simum simum) 🦏

Wedi ei baentio gan ddefnyddio dyfrlywiau ☺️

Os oes anifail penodol hoffech i mi baentio, rhowch wybod! 🎨
Southern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) 🦏

The second-largest land mammal, the Southern White Rhinoceros has a wide, square lip specialised for grazing on grass (different to the Black Rhino), as well as a muscular hump that supports its massive head. They can live up to 50 years! Once on the brink of extinction, thankfully intensive conservation means that they have grown in population from only 20 during the early 1900s, to over 11,000 today!

I painted this rhino using watercolours and added a few details with coloured pencil 😊

If there’s a specific animal you’d like me to paint, please let me know in the comments! 🎨

Introducing one of my new ventures… ! 🙌

My hope is to share the joy of watercolours with you - I’ve been creating special curated palettes, as well as small samples from a variety of different professional brands, so that you can try them out without having to spend on the entire tubes!

Here’s one of my curated palettes - made up of 12 Daniel Smith Primatek watercolour paints - all hand poured from tubes into mini, 3D printed eighth-pans made from PLA filament (a much more sustainable alternative to the usual plastic pans!). I’ve then added a magnet to the bottom of each pan and placed them in a cute tin. The swatch card is hand-painted and magnetic so that you can keep it safely in your little tin palette for reference! I love these Primatek colours by American brand, Daniel Smith - most are very granulating and are such unique colours - made from minerals, some semi-precious.

This little tin palette is so portable and would be perfect to take away on holiday or out for some plein-air painting ☺️ It would also make an amazing Christmas gift for any art lover! It’s up for sale on my shop now (link in bio), along with several other tin palettes and watercolour samples!

P.s. I always include a couple of free samples in with any order 😉

That’s it! We have closed Eleri Haf Designs! 💚

Just a little note to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has ever placed an order, shared my work, or offered kind words of encouragement over the years. Your support has meant more to me than you’ll ever know!

I have so many wonderful memories from running my little business, but my absolute favourite part has been the amazing people I’ve met along the way. From stockists to customers to fellow small business owners, I always loved connecting with you - especially at markets and fairs!

I’ll carry your kindness and encouragement with me as I step into this next chapter, using everything I’ve learned to grow, explore, and try something new.

I’ll be keeping this account open to stay connected and to share whatever the future may hold - so please stick around if you’d like! ☺️

Diolch, pawb!

Cariad,
Eleri ❤️

Since our closing down sale launched, we have sold off a lot of stock and there isn’t much left! So, we can now confirm that all of our online shops will close on Saturday 1st March. If there is anything you still want to purchase, then this is your final chance!

I’ve also been working on ideas for my next project(s), so stay tuned! It might be a little while, but I’m hoping it’ll be worth the wait!

Diolch / Thank you!
