I think we tried all the major online craft outlets over the years and have remained largely unimpressed with either the serious US bias or the lack of facility in return for commission, hence we have now developed our own online platform. Today the shop is (partially) restocked and ready for use. You can still [...]
I came across Irish artist, Anne Ellard’s Sketchbook Project while browsing through Issuu. I just love these silhouette’s she’s created with collage. You can find out more about Anne and view some of her other artwork here and here, or follow her on FaceBook.
