☆ Christmas Cards in October?

Gumtree Faery Christmas Cards

I know right - Halloween hasn't even passed yet!

But this year I wanted to send cards to my family and friends that were more personal and heartfelt, than the generic ones available in store. 

I decided to paint six individual faery inspired christmas cards. 

And because my gumtree faeries have been so popular this year, I decided to use them as inspiration for my cards. I have had a few friends asking me if I was going to design christmas cards this year, so that they could share with their family, so I was inspired to add some to my store for everyone. 

Although it is only October, they are available now, so you can receive them in plenty of time to write your own special message and send them to family and friends. 

I would love to hear what you think of them!

'FLOW'
AVAILABLE HERE

Flow.

An ebb. A flow

I was feeling lost inside this huge flow of inspiration I was experiencing. I had all these ideas, and yet I couldn’t manage to put one thing onto paper that excited me. Nothing. 

But finally after hours of sketching crap, she flowed onto the paper.

I think I pulled her from the depths of my heart and so for me she represents a huge change. 

A change in the way I processed the flow of ideas, a change in how I processed disappointments and frustrations, and surprisingly it wasn’t only related to my creative processes. 

She symbolizes that you can flow through the set backs, any set backs, and not to spend hours. days. weeks. flogging yourself for your disappointment or frustrations. (and also you can ignore your inner bitch that tells you otherwise!)

And finally she inspires me to keep moving forward when the inspiration ebbs, and there is only a trickle left.

If you love her as much as I do, then Flow is available for sale in my etsy store: LilliBeanDesigns.

THE NITTY GRITTY:

Flow is a unique acrylic painting, on a collaged water colour paper base. Flow is 8.3 x 5.8” which means that the painting will easily fit into most standard sized frames. She would look awesome on a shelf somewhere surrounded by loved ephemera, on a wall on her own or surrounded by other inspiration art.

Flow is finished with a matt varnish, so there is no extra care required. Flow is also signed and dated and comes with it’s own certificate of authenticity.
