you and me and an ampersand

I was lucky enough to be gifted 12 tiny wooden ampersands and I'd like to turn them into 12 pieces of artwork.



If you'd be interested in commissioning one of the pieces then get in touch - the price of each piece will depend on how large the finished artwork is, but as a rough guide it will be the cost of the frame multiplied by four :)

Each piece will include one of the wooden ampersands which are about the size of a 20p coin ... which leaves plenty of space to incorporate any ideas you might have :)



Head over to Rhona Mowat's blog to find out how these beautifully crafted wooden ampersands came to be.

#Update:
Number of commissions since I posted this blog ... zero.
Number of ampersands left ... eleven. (because I sat on one and broke it)

Live&Love York ... OMG!

Those of you who follow me on twitter will already know that I am a complete Live&Love York fan girl ... so you'll also appreciate just how thrilled/overwhelmed I was to be chosen as the winner of their April Creative Showcase competition ... it's crazy and I'm still speechless a week later. They've featured 3 of my Howies catalogue doodles/defacements and I'll be collaborating with them on a future magazine cover ... like I said, *crazy*. Just shows what can happen when you put yourself out there :)

You can see my doodles on pages 41-43 of the April issue, or you can see them together with the other Summer 2009 Howies catalogue doodles in my 'I Love Howies' flickr photoset.
