Thank you for the opportunity 😊

I create little creatures, mostly with textiles.
Each character is unique and designed to look wonderfully weird and perfectly imperfect.

They can be adopted on my website littlebirdofparadise.bigcartel.com

This fierce folk creation by Amandine Barbet, stands guardian in the dampened marsh, born of the earth's oldest secrets, a beautiful vision of wild, witchy art.

The blog is published, and the Witch is sighing heavily about 'family matters', while wondering how to relocate this little world... Meanwhile, join her for a cup of tea, some folklore, art and poetry!

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

This. Human beings are not just *JOBS*. Human existence is not just business and economics. FFS. Christ I just want a government that values human lives - AND ALL OF THEM at that…
I just can’t understand this insistence on measuring the worth of humans simply as economic units. The barista who helps their neighbour and loves their family are as much part of community than a surgeon! No society can have any value without all the people that form its component parts.

Spookified photograph of horses and animals on the Brighton Pier carousel in black, white and grey with a top overlay of reddish sepia. The animals are ghostly and viewed with an astigmatic eye.

Not my small business, but one I have purchased from.

Quirk & Whimsy does porcelain one-off works from her studio in Surrey, as well as unique greetings cards and other gifts.

This time of year, you can also find their stall in Winchester Christmas Market.

I continue to sell brooches and pins inspired by historic artworks from public collections!

Each one comes mounted in a greetings card which depicts the original artwork on the front and provides context for the art inside, and I do free first-class postage in the UK.

Hi John! I'm a debut author and my new fantasy novel 'Atlantis: Children of the Gods' has just come out - would be a great gift for any mythology nerds. A reimagining of Plato's lost continent full of Gods, monsters and spooky shamanic powers:

On behalf of my wife, who's not on Bsky.

She creates unique handmade bags, pouches, coptic bound fabric covered sketchbooks and other small gifts.

Pics below, but lots more in her shop.

She's really good - many are her own designs & she crafts with thought and care.
