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

Photo collage of a selection of textiles dolls. There are many characters, they all look happy and slightly imperfect. There are Fairies, pumpkin girls, a pink hair girl on a stand, a little pig and a two heads doll.

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.
#fineart ##pleinair #Cambridge
On the spot watercolour drawing of Green Street, Cambridge (with Indian ink using a dip pen). I loved the extravagant shop signs but wasn't so keen on my rendering of the Halifax Building Society sign and I don't think I ever exhibited this one. However, on digging it out of a storage portfolio I decided I liked it after all. Cambridge was a nicer place then with more character. Many much loved shops have disappeared, replaced by eateries.

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. They have been rendered in black, white and grey with an overlay at top of reddish sepia. Behind them are mirrors in the centre of the carousel that look out at us with dead eyes. The animals are ghostly and viewed with an astigmatic eye.

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.

A wooden brooch in the shape of a fan depicts a wintery river scene by Hiroshige. The brooch rests on fabric printed with an octopus. An irregularly-shaped wooden brooch depicting a colourful abstract artwork by Kandinsky. The brooch is mounted inside a greetings card that provides some context for the artwork. Hands with gold-painted fingernails hold a wooden brooch cut to depict a waterlily. The original artist is Ohara Koson. An enamel pin rests on a background of leather, surrounded by foliage, spanners, and a bottle of Jägermeister. The pin features a clawed red hand gripping a sign with the word 'DEMON' on it.

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:

Hi all 👋 I'm Jess aka Loadofolbobbins an illustrator. I turn my work into an assortment of jewellery, homewares and even a jigsaw! All inspired by nature, books and coosplaying pigeons...

www.loadofolbobbins.com
A pair of laser cut wooden earrings showing an illustration of a robin by loadofolbobbins. The earrings are mounted on a mini backing card with a repeat abstract watercolour leaf pattern. They are being held by a hand for scale, which shows that each stud earring is slightly smaller than a thumbnail. A laser cut wooden brooch showing a silhouette scene inspired by Wuthering Heights. It shows Heathcliffe and Cathy under a windswept tree printed on to original text from the novel. It's backed on a red and gold foil backing card made to look like the front of an old book. A flat lay image showing three tea towels and two coasters printed with original illustrations by loadofolbobbins. Clockwise fron top left they show a robin perching on branch with some mistletoe, a blackbird on a branch of lilac and sparrows on forsythia branch with a female flying underneath. A series of laser cut wooden lapel pins by Loadofolbobbins showing Fred the pigeon coosplaying in various festive guises. One shows a pigeon wearing a woolly hat and scarf and ice skating, one has the pigeon holding a sprig of mistletoe from its beak and the other shows a pigeon wearing reindeer antlers. They are arranged in a repeat pattern against a white background.
