Desk of the Day 13/06/13 - The Little Bear

Hey everyone! I have some awesome custom orders I'm working on at the moment that I'm really excited about. I'm hoping I'll get chance to post lots of Desks of the Day over the next week or two! Over the past few weeks I seem to have had so many fun projects to work on. I'm so greatful my customers have such fun ideas for me to work on!

This is a project I've been working on a little while, it's for my friend Diana's blog Parents and the City. Remember Little Baby Liberty? This is for the same project. It's taking me a while to finish this project because it's the first blog design I'm doing for someone other than myself, so I want to make it perfect.

This bear is going to be way smaller and may not even make it in to the final design, but I wanted to show you it in a little more detail. Either way it's good practise to be doing more work on illustrator. This guy's not quite finished yet, he needs a few more highlights to make him pop and then we'll see how he looks next to Little Baby Liberty.

Oh and DON'T forget to enter my Pet Portrait giveaway for a chance to win a portrait of your pet by Chopstitch! Only 10 hours left!

Wednesday Art Feature: River Luna

River Luna is an Etsy shop featuring the work of Marisa Redondo, an illustrator from the US. Her work is heavily inspired by nature, and arranged in beautiful colour schemes and compositions.

I love her use of white and space within her work, and the adorable bear and fox creatures she draws. Marisa has work that would appeal to everyone, from natural feathers and branches drawn in her unique style, to cute bears and birds.

Young Explorer Stuff Giveaway!!!

Hey guys! I'm so excited to introduce you to the awesome new shop Young Explorer Stuff. I'm a big fan of their lovely crafts, their lovely nature inspired brooches remind me of Autumn. I'm very excited to introduce this Giveaway to you! The lucky winner will get to pick their favourite Large Brooch from the shop.

"Young Explorer is a collaboration between Elizabeth (me!) and Steve. We make zines, greetings cards, badges and brooches and have been selling stuff on Etsy for about three months now.

Despite the fact we live in the middle of Manchester, we're inspired by nature and the outdoors, especially woodland animals and mountains. Although our collection of animals is quite small at the moment, we're hoping to add some more to the shop soon!

I started making the brooches as presents for friends, originally, and when they liked them I thought I might have a go at making them to sell on our Etsy. They're very popular. I'm almost struggling to keep up with the orders!

We also have a blog that we update fairly regularly, where we go on a bit about the things we get up to in our spare time and the things we like."

This Giveaway ends 9/10/12 (10/09/12 in US dates I think?) and is open for everyone to enter :) You must be a follower of PonyChops the blog to enter!

Good luck!!
