The final day of #12DaysOfFolksy today. Day 12 is 'Festive Thanks'.

Well, I thought I'd let my little ambassador do the talking (sound on)...

Thank you to all my customers in 2025, and everyone I've drawn with online and in person - you've inspired me to create new work and play with media. #Art

#12DaysOfFolksy Day 11 Jingle Bell Picks

Today is all about highlighting some customer feedback. When I first started out I would have shrunk into a corner at the thought of sharing nice comments about my work, but I know it makes sense to do.

For Day 10 of #12DaysOfFolksy, the theme is 'All I want for #Christmas'. The challenge to give 2 or more options to choose between...

I'd love to know - are you a sprout lover or a sprout hater? Comment below and let's battle it out!

Had a go with charcoal for tonight's #DrawingIsFree session. Getting out of my nice comfy pencil zone. Easier to get some of the shading in quickly but harder to do details. Sometimes helpful not to get bogged down in detail for these 3 minute-ers anyway #Hard!

#12DaysOfFolksy Day 8 Making Spirits Bright

Today's task is to show the various stages of making one of your products, so I thought I'd share a few of my initial sketches next to the finished illustrations / cards I ended up with.

#12DaysOfFolksy Day 7

Today's topic is Festive Factoid, so here's a little feature of my festive (& non-festive!) tea towels... they all come with a hanging loop sewn in. It's a little extra practical feature because I'm keen for these to be useful as well as decorative.

#12DaysOfFolksy Day 6 Holly Jolly Habits

Today's task is to share a family #tradition that influences your work. Ours is to set the Christmas pud alight and carry it, flaming, around the table, before any gets eaten. Does anyone else do this?!

It influenced my Christmas #Dragon card below...

#12DaysOfFolksy Day 4) Sprigs of Inspiration: Share what inspires your festive designs

Well this one's easy! 😆

As many of you know, my sprouts get up to new mischief each year - carol singing, ski-ing, ice-skating and, this year, building a snow #sprout 👉 folksy.com/find/shop/LD...

Today's #12DaysOfFolksy theme for DAY 3 is Deck the Workshop - to share something of your process during the holiday prep.

So I thought this would be a good time to share my Snow Sprout process, which is a brand new design for this #Christmas. Always very rough sketches to start out with...

#Art
This year #NationalIllustrationDay2025 falls on the same day as #IndieFriday / #ColourFriday, so I'm weaving them together by sharing the steps that went into illustrating my Snow Sprout - now for sale in my independent #Folksy shop.

Even simple illustrations start life as very loose sketches...

Todays' theme is Tinsel Topped Treasures, highlighting a festive favourite product.

These are my festive #TeaTowels - largely featuring my smiley sprout characters, which have been some of my favourite characters to work on...

Thank you to everyone at tonight's Drawing is Free session!

Always a good stretch of the hand-eye co-ordination 'muscles' as you have just the length of a song to capture each face - any medium, any style.

Today marks the start of the #12DaysOfFolksy social media challenge, which will hopefully push me to share a little more about my #SmallBusiness, and some behind the scenes shots - eek!...
