Another dog commission - daschund called Margot

We have received another request for a doggy painting, will keep you updated.  We have also in the past week made quite a few napkin clips and a few necklaces with ear-rings.

Here are a couple of our bright multi-coloured necklaces, we do lots of others if bright isn't for you!

Results of another commission!

Here is the water colour of "Peanut" as commissioned following the happy result of the beautiful springer spaniel painted last week.  Richard can try to encapsulate your pet and only buy if you are happy with the results, this size 25cm/10inches in a deep frame - actual water colour 12cm/4.5 inches are now £29.99,  £24.99 without the frame or mount.  (Plus £2.51 P&P if not collected).
Larger paintings available.

Napkin Clips - Serviette Holders

As per previous blog, now made, plain leather napkin clip (we also have done this in plaited leather) along with some beaded clips.  They are 17-19 inches in length and so practical (and glam) for the messy eater (like myself - many new tops bought after  lunchtime spills).  Here is a link to the ones available in the shop.

Commissions

Well one serviette holder / napkin clip made, just about to design the more feminine one, got diverted with THREE commissions for dog portraits.  One completed and happy customer.  (Doggy painting

as shown - close up and in frame).... Just shows how versatile my dear husband is, he is not sure that he has ever painted a dog before, the customer and I also think it is pretty good.  It is an amazing likeness the photo that was texted to us.

Llanfyllin Workhouse Event

We had a very cold day at Llanfyllin Workhouse's Christmas Fair yesterday, 24 hours later our feet have just about thawed.  (We were indoors with heaters, gives some insight into how it was in olden days!).  Quite a successful day and lots of compliments for Richard's artwork.  He has just finished a new poppy seed head in pen, ink and water colour.  It is now available in the shop.

Napkin and Serviette Holders?

We have been asked to make a couple of serviette holders by someone locally.  They are very similar to our spectacle glasses holder and ID lanyards so no reason why we cannot.  Not really thought of these before, they are for an elderly married couple, he just wants leather and she wants muted colours mainly brown beads, nothing too garish.... will post a photo next week when they are made.  Here is a photo of an ID holder/Glasses holder/Long Necklace - All interchangeable

Either slide in an arm of your glasses to store or change to connectors as pictured below.

Take off large open loop and attached "traditional" connectors .

Add clip and ID card to open loop for stylish staff lanyard.

Google Adwords

Well we have had our first paid ads on Google, have watched the 30 YouTube help videos from Google and feel a little more knowledgeable!  Think it will take a week or so to get the ads fine tuned.... had no idea that to be featured you had to bid against others for certain words and they go for ridiculous amounts.  Getting a few items ready for local craft fair at Llanfyllin Workhouse on Sunday, items not going into "the shop" so do contact us direct if you want one made.
