I've got two Craft Fairs coming up this week, one on Thursday evening organised by Natico Events Planner and a 'Magical Spring Fair' held in a local Hotel on Saturday. I'm busy busy busy trying to get things organised. not something that comes naturally!
I've painted a few more flint fridge magnets, and made some 'ickle critter magnets to replace the ones I've managed to sell. These critters are slightly smaller than the size of a 20 pence piece and look great on the fridge.

I've also done some beach huts magnets.
Last year I painted a couple of 'Beach Hut' canvases and they were well liked, I think it's the bright colours and the thought of warm days on the beach that made them so popular. I'm hoping the magnets will be as popular.
Before I pop off to bed I'm off for a nosey at some of the blogs that feature in Handmade Monday organised by Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts. If you don't know what that is then come along with me and have a look at what Wendy and other crafters are doing.

Ooooh I really like the beach huts on canvas, really nice! Love the critters too lol :)
ReplyDeleteBeach huts are a classic and something that always brings a smile to my face, love the eyes on the fridge magnets
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love beach huts. I painted some canvases a little bit like yours a while back and sold one of them to a lady in Australia of all places! I have some ideas for some more, on wood this time, and am itching to start - must try harder to find the time! Now the sun has shown its face, maybe it's time to get on with some summery projects!
ReplyDeleteLove your magnets too, the critters as well as the beach huts!
Thanks for taking part in HM x
Great beach huts, I love making applique versions on cushions and bags.
ReplyDeleteVery versatile, love the pictures and the beach hut magnets are soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteLove love love beach huts soooo much. So trendy now as well. The canvas is lovely, you must do more.
ReplyDeleteYes the beach huts are usually a big hit, I also make them without the magnets and they look good in a row sitting on a shelf or above a door frame. x
ReplyDeleteOh I love the 'ickle critters. Your critters and my critter could get together and make critter relationships ;D (yes I am mad, and no I don't regret it lol).
ReplyDeleteBeach huts are a total classic, however, now I want to go away on holiday. The thought of getting up in the morning has been made that little bit harder now.
Without 'mad' the whole world would be far to seriarse and we can't be having that. Mad is good :o)
ReplyDeletelove love love the critters, the eyes just make me laugh!

Love your Beach Hut canvases. Lovely bright colours make it feel like summer is here.
ReplyDeletewow... great stuff.. love the critters x
ReplyDeleteLove your beach hut canvas. I have just been to my very first art class where we had to reproduce an apple on a canvas. Surprised myself that it actually did look like an apple!!! Next lesson we have to do a lake scene with the water reflected below. Think i will ask to do beach huts instead!! Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI love doing Art Classes, I find water can be tricky but some people make it look soooo easy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.. Jan x
Love your style of painting. Used to dabble in watercolour years ago but haven't done any for years.
