Two Valentine greetings yesterday! One for Art House from the talented Steven Lenton, whose designs have already been published as cards by Lagom  - we are delighted to welcome him to the Art House family. Plus a mysterious Valentine card (from someone who I think knows a lot about pea-pods) by client Pomegranate, depicting 'White Cat II' image by M.C Escher (1919).

Bunnies in the Snow

With the freezing temperatures out there today, this image is still relevant ....SNOW! I fell in love with this beautiful embroidery the first time I saw it. Having followed Linda Miller's work since we both designed wrapping-paper for Gallery Five, London, back in the early 1990's. This piece, titled 'Bunnies in the Snow' reminds me of a place close to my heart. Linda's delicate free-hand machine embroidery has recently been featured on Kirstie Allsop's 'Hand-made Britain'...
