Shop Update....

I have finally gotten round to taking photographs of some of my new prints and have now got them up on the shop.  Do take a look.....

You can also buy them in person at the Yard Gallery in Holywood.

Website redo....

Well after a lots of fiddling with images and pages the shop is all sparkly and new!

Rather than have a separate website and shop I’ve integrated them all into the one site so hopefully it makes much more sense and is easier to navigate.  At the moment I only have my cards and notebooks available to buy as I am re photographing all of my prints so you can get a better idea of what they would look like framed up and on your wall.

At the moment the address is http://longshotpress.bigcartel.com but I am in the middle of changing it so it will be the old longshotpress.co.uk name.  I’ll let you know when I get it change over but in the mean time you can visit the new site here.

On top of all the visual changes postage to the United Kingdom is now COMPLETELY FREE! So there’s no excuse not to buy that card you’ve had your eye on! *For those in the rest of the world postage rates are still very reasonable!*

Oh and I’ve added lots of fancy social networking buttons as well so if you want to like, tweet or pin me, be my guest!

Craft Fest 2012

sorry for the lack of interesting posts lately.  I’ve been so busy working at the BBC story fest sessions and getting ready for Craft Fest I haven’t had a chance to get all the lovely posts I’m planning done!  I’ll get there next week I promise!  This weekend though I’m taking part in Craft Fest at Castle Ward in Strangford.  Its the second year I’m doing it and I’m really looking forward to it.  When I did it last year it was the first proper big craft fair that I’d done and it really inspired me  - meeting the customers and seeing what sort of things the were looking for and also meeting the other exhibitors, it really made me think about the sort of things I’m making.  

So if you’re free this weekend do try and head down and take a look.  There will be loads of different stands as well as workshops and demonstrations and on top of all that you can take a tour round the big house - where there is also an exhibition of work going on -  My book Until Further Notice  will be part of the exhibition.

Hopefully see you there!

Northern Ireland Assembly Gift Shop.

You can now buy my work in the shop and tea rooms up in the Parliament Buildings at Stormont as part of their designer/maker initiative.  Myself and three others will have their work on display and for sale in the gift shop for the next six months.

The building and estate is open to visitors - you can take a tour of parliament buildings for free during the week when the assembly is in session, or you can walk round the estate any day between 7.30am and 6pm as it is a public park, the day I dropped my work in it was a lovely crisp autumnal day with crunchy leaves galore - perfect for stomping on!

At the moment I have a selection of cards, notebooks and large postcards and will shortly be adding cotton tote bags and tea towels to the mix.  As well as some of my popular designs I have also created some new designs especially.

            

        

The four new designs.


Here a couple snaps of the work in situ, not great quality I’m afraid so you should definitely head round and see the work in person!



My work.



A snap of the other work which includes Mr Papers and Gail Kelly designs as well as some beautifully intricate jewellery by a new designer.

cosy winter blankets....

Okay, so I know there is supposed to be a heatwave this week but I’m having none of it! I have already got myself mentally prepared for the autumn and winter! I have got out my winter boots, got a new winter coat and am stocked up with peat for the fire.  So I’m going to ignore what the weather is up to and instead dream of snuggling up in one of these lovely blankets I saw at I Do Cartwheels when I popped in last week.

Love is in the air...

To beat the January blues I have been working on some lovely cheerful Valentine’s Day Cards.  You can check out the collection in my shop. Why not treat someone special in your life, or surprise a secret crush and show them not only how you feel but also how stylish your are!
