How amazing are these vintage souvenirs from Rhodes. Found them on a car boot in Otley. Both with little hanging chains.
I like to hold them really close to my face and stare at the detail. They are a bit freaky I suppose, but that is so my bag aha.

My shop
I have an etsy.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/lemonroses
I have opened for business.
Handmade, craft and vintage as I'm a bit of a magpie/hoarder. Currently getting updated daily.
The cards combine recycled materials and my own illustration.
I shall update on any other ventures.

Check Etsy for lovely artist's goodies. Really nice to see so much handmade, and so much design going on as well.
I am currently screen print mad and there's lots of that going on -really individual work.
Love it.

July update
I have finally regained spare time for CRAFT. So relaxing. Made cards and produced framed prints, but I've also started printing which I will soon share. These are DIY cake-stands inspired by Prima magazine. I liked one so much I decided not to sell it in the end. Anyway recommend this old chestnut. Bargain and recycles odd plates!!

DIY cards - intro production
I started making cards for birthdays and christmas to give to family and friends but I enjoy it that much I'm going into business. Etsy shop on its way - these I have crafted in preparation for my summer stalls coming up - orders happily met through email until then - claregarbutt@yahoo.com.
polaroid replacement
Polaroid out of production - sad face. But who needs polariod when theres Fuji Instax - cheaper and tinier - making it even MORE fun. Summer smiles .

Manchester Museum sketchbook
Had a lovely few days at the Rocks and Minerals gallery at Manchester Museum. Not where you'd think you'd find a lot of artistic inspiration but I lovvveeedd it. Amazing surfaces, textures and colours all over. Natural forms really are all you need sometimes.
Theses are a few samples of my sketchbook works.
