The Heart of the Matter

I'm enjoying working on a series of "Designer" heart stamp collages.
 I have several examples of  rather eye catching stamps from several French Valentine's day  issues.
 The stamps and miniature sheets have used well known fashion houses' motifs, including Hermes, Cacharel,  and Givenchy.  One of these heart stamps was used  in the centre of a heart collage commissioned last year, and I liked the idea of making some more of these as I feel they definitely have a "feel good factor".
Stamps from all over the world are included in my latest Heart designs, as well as romantic and pretty  stamps such as  lacy hearts from USA,  as well as many flowery  pink and red stamps and some whose theme is simply, LOVE!

Commissions .. and some newly available cards

The Barbados flag was recently commissioned and is shown here as a canvas print ready to hang! You can see from my Flags page that I've made many countries' flags and am happy to attempt others if anyone has a special request. Prices vary according to availability of stamps and this one took a while to put together as I had to find suitable stamps and subjects to include from various sources. Also shown are some new cards including one with the Barbados flag - possibly not a potentially  huge seller but I have had a few printed and these will be available at my next Open Studio on 1st and 2nd November - see previous blog post for full details.   Also shown here are the flag of Germany, The Blue Lady, Flower Heart and Christmas Robin.
