You can see the first prints in my Etsy store, including some wonderful festive images. Clickhere to see them. To celebrate this Grand Opening (the bear's are getting excited about this!) I am offering Free worldwide postage on all my prints (mounted and unmounted) from today Sunday 23rd until Sunday Nov 30th.
These illustrations are printed on the most beautiful archival artist paper and can either come with or without a mount. You can see the different sections in my Etsy store. If you have any questions just drop me a line. Here is a glimpse of them -
When I grow up.. I want to be a Train Driver (part of the "When I grow up..." series.
Snow Circus
Wish upon a Star
The Best Tree for Christmas
Just as I started to add my first print to my Etsy store it started to snow, what better sight than a sparkly white landscape to get into the festive spirit!
As a thank you to you all for your support and encouragement over the months the bears and I are giving away a Mounted Print "The Best Tree for Christmas" (see image below). To enter just leave me a beary festive comment and I will randomly pick a winner next Sunday 30th 10am GMT.
I have many many more stories in my imagination that I will be bringing to life with pencil (and of course still through my mohair bears) in the future. I hope you will enjoy following along this journey together with my bears. Over the next few days a new Artist bear will be revealing his face here and at my website.
In the meantime have yourself a beary happy day! Hugs, Catherine and the bears xx
