We finally have the makings of a new collection. It's so satisfying to have finished all the creatures I had under way. Jo is also working on some new ones too so we might have enough for another shop day next weekend - but I'll keep you posted...

I've reintroduced a runner duck - quite an old design and so much bigger than our more recent work. Too big for an Instagram square

I've strayed into Jo territory with this Staffordshire pottery inspired bull

and this is actually one of Jo's patterns that I've borrowed

Badgers are always popular. We've put all our mini creatures on strings but these can be easily removed without damaging the fabric

This is a larger size hanging horse - I can't decide if I prefer smaller or bigger

Old school post - single image, no music. I feel completely overwhelmed with the advice on what we need to do to increase our engagement- carousels, carousels with videos, carousels with notes, reels, edits, music, trending music, no music, shares, saves.... so here's a photo of some runner ducks I'm making

Entering into Jo's domain with this Staffordshire pottery design bull. Annoyingly have run out of gold thread to embellish the base. Normally I'd rush round to Jo's to grab some but she's in Scotland, which seemed a bit far to go. Gold bobbles can wait until after his wash (pencil marks are proof of my freehand drawing).
