U.S customers, my miniature paintings are exempt from tariffs, so the postage remains much the same!

(Heads up- this beauty is in my SALE this week)
Framed coastal seascape painting. Turquoise and teal water sparkles under a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. Gentle waves lap a light beige sandy beach. Darker rocks are visible in the lower right corner. The artwork evokes a tranquil beach scene.

I loved crocheting this throw, the colours remind me of my nans house in the late 1970s. A wonderful eye catching design as unique gift for a loved one 🧶

@ukmakers.bsky.social @mhhsbd.bsky.social @craftbizparty.bsky.social
Watercolor painting of a kestrel bird. The bird is predominantly beige and light brown, with darker brown accents on its wings and tail. The tail feathers are depicted with a dynamic, slightly blurred effect, suggesting movement. The bird's head is a lighter shade of brown, with hints of gray and yellow. The beak is a pale yellow, and the eye is dark. The overall style is realistic, capturing the bird's texture and details with watercolor washes and fine lines.
