new website, craft fair and more

So much has been happening lately, I have been a little busy to get on here so this is one huge update.

I finally have my own website, scary and exciting at the same time. http://www.radgedesign.com.au/ I can't believe that I did it - I used a template but I designed all the headers and images myself, all I have to do now is decide on the best way to intergrate a store into it. I am thinking of getting into some digital design if I can, some business logos or welcome montages but I will just have to see what happens. I would also love to do some custom artworks, so I'm thinking of having completely custom artworks and digital design on my site with all my existing works, drawings and name plates still at Oz Handmade. Too many things to think about.

I'm also counting down to the Melbourne Stitches and Craft fair that is in 2 weeks, I have shipped off a ton of stuff to Gem at Oz Handmade for her stall. Even scarier is that I will be helping out over the weekend (my first markets since having my daughter).

The custom orders have now been shipped out with both customers liking my work which was nice. Here is one that was for a little girl on her birthday.

custom orders, yay and some pics for the boys

I have been busy the past few days getting some custom orders ready for the infamous estapol. I drove my lovely husband nuts when I was using estapol on the 150 name plates I made for our wedding - they were our place settings/gifts, that is where the idea originally came from. I wanted to use my artistic ability to make our wedding one to remember - bright, colourful and one big party!

Anyway back to the past few days... I received my first custom order, yay - its a birthday present so I can't unveil until the 25th. I also have a couple of prizes to make - the first to be arranged is for Erin who won in the Nattyjane Designs win win raffle, she has chosen a cute butterfly/daisy drawing for her little girl. Here is a sneak peek...

I have also been busy drawing some images for the boys out there who like trains, dinosaurs, cricket and robots. I will add more pictures to the collection when I can think of more things to draw (and get the time). They can be found here at Custom Name Plate Boy's.

drawing so relaxing

Since I had a request for a more girly image for a custom name plate and my little monster actually went to bed for me, I have been doing some drawing this evening. Love it, so relaxing - except the lighting giving me a headache and the scanner playing silly buggers on me. I added a new product - custom images girls, and soon when I draw some boring cricket stumps or other boy stuff I will add a boy one too (they aren't really that boring but harder for me to do as I have to think more). Here are a few of my new drawings:

I also finished a frog drawing that I started when I was pregnant, so quite a while ago. So keep on the look out for some animal posters in store soon. They will be laminated onto brightly coloured cardboard and look fantastic - I drew them initially to decorate our nursery. If you have a look on my facebook page in the drawings photos you can see the ones that I have made for myself.
