Illustrator - Designer - Maker
A few weeks ago, my lovely friend Sylvie Foxworthy asked me to build a website for her to showcase primarily her jewellery making, but which would incorporate a blog as she wanted to include other aspects of her life, cooking, family etc. As with all things, that initial discussion of her needs was put off many times due to the demands of family and work, but finally, we agreed a brief and I got on with it.

I know I don’t post much about my web design on here, not really sure why, perhaps because it’s more problematic and stress inducing sometimes that the simple business of creating art.

But, in the meantime, here is a sneak peak at the front cover. I really hope you like it. Click on the image to enlarge. Feedback and comments welcome as always. xx

Also, as I have only the December page to do of my 2012 Wall Calendar, I may go for something different and use one of these rather than the traditional Christmas subject matter. What do you think?
