Deer Park Art Fair, New Books

9/11/2023

0 Comments

 
​My final show of the Midwest Summer season will be the Deer Park Art Show on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September. My booth number is 83.5 which is located on the east side of the central circular area. As well as my usual range of products I will have with me prints on both paper and fabric made from my own hand cut stamps and mounted on 10 x 8 boards.

My large format Textile Journal has continued to be popular this year. I will have with me a companion volume "Forever Fabric" at this event. My new Inspiration Journal, Survival Journal and Daydreams books will also be available.

Any Midwest customers who are unable to attend the Deerr Park event but wish to order any items, please do so this week so that I can dispatch them before I return to the UK next week.

I have a medical procedure scheduled for October and so have had to withdraw from the Great Peak District Fair at Buxton and the Glen Ellyn show in November in the Mid-west. My remaining fairs for this year can be seen here.

I have added some 10" x 8"unframed versions of my floral fabric collages onto the shop pages of my website which can be seen here. Both black and white boards are featured.
I can produce a customised version of any of my products which you may want for a special occasion. Examples of previous commissions can be seen here. Email me to discuss your ideas.
Following a customer request I have added my new collage design, "Girls just wanna have fun" to my greeting card range. It may be seen here and purchased here. The 10" x 8" mounted collage of this design may be purchased here.

I continue to add to my range of Greetings Cards and have retired some designs.  My current range can be purchased online here. I am selling the retired designs in mixed packs of 20 for just £10! They may be purchased here, at the bottom of the page.

I have added some photos of recent shows, including customers exhibiting their new shoulder bags on the Show Stuff page of my website.

I have an ongoing requirement for new or used envelopes. All sizes are welcome and any quantities will be gratefully received. I can also use any hard back books including atlases or maps and fabrics including bed sheets that you are able to donate. I can also use in my printing any papers or card such as calendars, unused paper pads, coffee table books, magazines made from heavy weight paper,  unembossed wallpapers etc. Thanks to Suzy K for her latest contribution.

The cool, wet summer has led to lush growth and late flowering in my garden. I posted some July photos here before I left for my current trip to Chicago.
If you have any questions on any of these matters feel free to contact me.
