Hello all, it's already one week into 2012 and this is my first post of this year.
2011 was a good year for me, I started a facebook page for Handcrafted by Picto, I took the plunge and opened a couple of online shops, first with Folksy and then with Wow Thank You.I also done a few Craft Fairs (some more successful than others) and Art Exhibitions, it's been a learning curve and one that I have enjoyed immensely. I also started this blog which has proved to be so much fun, it has helped that I take part in Handmade Monday which as most of you know is a very successful 'linky party' hosted by Wendy.
My 'makes' for this week are a couple of Plaques done for a January and a February Birthday.

I have spent the year indulging in my passion for painting and made lots of new friends along the way. So, what will the next 12 months bring? that's a question that none of us really know the answer to but I hope and strive for more of the above.
Wishing you all a brilliant 2012

Happy New Year. Both plaques are really lovely and I bet will be very popular with the recipients.

ReplyDeleteI love your plaques. As soon as I saw the top one I knew it was for an Arsenal fan even before i read about it. Fabulous :)
I love the slightly stylised element within the plaque especially in Curtis's crocodile plaque
