Great fun on Tuesday, throwing ourselves into making Christmas cards. As promised, here is the template for the robin drawings. It is a downloadable .pdf, so you should all be able to open it.

Quote of the week
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

book of the week
A VERY BERRY CHRISTMAS
Rob keeps quiet about this one, but I have no idea why.
The story is one Rob made up for our children when they were young. Some years later he got together with Fitz, who crafted the story into a form that made the story sing.
Rob then created the illustrations in coloured pencil, a long and arduous process ( never to be repeated, he says!) that resulted in some of the most beautiful artwork he has produced.
I think it is a book grandchildren would enjoy very much!
A VERY BERRY CHRISTMAS IS NOW AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM US
You may buy directly from this site, but to avoid P&P please contact us:)
The book is also available on Amazon and at Waterstones and Abe Books.
