Shop until you drop...

Well, I thought I was off to a good start, two posts in a couple of days in January and then suddenly it all goes quiet for a couple of weeks, seems like GraceInk has slipped back into her old ways...but fear not I'm back! I've been keeping myself busy (as per usual) and have been doing a little printing (above) of some butterfly bags. Not yet available on Etsy but they will be very soon, I promise. Just wanted to let you know that my work will soon be available in Leeds at The Bowery Gallery, so keep your eyes peeled for shoes and birdcages roaming around in that area. And I've just sent a new parcel of goodies to The Tayberry Gallery in Perth including my new Quirky Doll Brooches, bringing their own kind of charm to the area!

I'm also getting ever so excited about the BCTF (British Craft Trade Fair) this April,  I'm really looking forward to showing off my textiles to a new audience...I'll be keeping you updated on that over the coming months because it's definately more than getting myself down there for the 4 days it is on...so much to do, so little time. I can't believe it's February already but I guess a lot of people are saying that, where does the time go...

//Details To Follow//, The Gin Palace

Here's the flyer for The Gin Palace event with all the details of where and when, it would be great to see some familiar faces if you can make it! I've got a couple of invites for the special 'invite only' event on the Friday night if anyone fancies it; I'm hoping to be there and meet some of the up and coming designers in Scotland as well as see their beautiful work. I hope to see you there!

Gin Palace Update

Here's me sorting out a design for the Gin Palace Collective event taking place on the 9th-11th April in Glasgow. Designing and making is really hotting up this end as I have quite a bit to do but I'm really looking forward to the event and meeting all the other designer-makers taking part. This design is hopefully going to be a tea towel when I'm finished but we'll see how it prints, I finally got my big repeat off the table yesterday after about a month so it feels rather strange to be working on something a little smaller for a change! And to my Number One Fan, Happy Mothers Day!

The Gin Palace, Glasgow

I've been selected as one of the designers for the next Gin Palace event in Glasgow called //Details to Follow//. The Gin Palace was set up last year to exhibit innovative designers throughout all disciplines at a series of pop up shops. Check out their website www.theginpalacecollective.co.uk to see photos from their last event and information for the forthcoming selling event taking place in April...where you'll be able to browse and buy GraceInk work. I'll keep you posted with updates of the work I'm producing for the event.
