Invite Your Partner 2024 Swap GALLERY!

I recieved from @Jemimah today! We agreed to a small art swap. I’ve been coveting her gorgeous watercolor art and it’s even more stunning in person. That lantern is perfection and I love the fox! Plus, a tiny coloring zine and a beautiful feather card!

Thank you, Kirsten!

It’s gorgeous work, and I have been obsessed with zines lately, so that is especially amazing to me.
Your watercolors are awe-inspiring.

The lantern actually looks like it is glowing…love the backgrounds of both…and the feather…simple and yet very complex looking…

Hi friends! I returned from a couple of weeks visiting family in Aotearoa / New Zealand, and then with perfect timing, my wonderful package from @Abbeeroad arrived!!

Look at all this fantastic stuff!! this is some of it … there were two delicious chocolate bars, but weirdly, one of them is just an empty wrapper in this photo :yum:

She sent an amazing array of her gorgeous artistic gifts - notebook, badge, fridge magnet, hoop, and card - all beautiful and in her signature bright and arty style!

Then there was this beautifully sewn and elegant fabric bin - so pretty, I love these fabrics!

Plus the cutest tiny felt ewok decoration for my Star Wars fan Mr jemimah (he loves it too)!

And then the main event - she made this fabulous panda painting for me! It’s so good - the depth of layered colours, the finish, the cool quote and lettering, and especially the adorable panda - I absolutely love it!!

Thank you so much for swapping with me @Abbeeroad :heart:

The panda is fantastic! I love seeing the bits of texture and layers peeking through.

Yes, you can definitely see @Abbeeroad 's style in each of the items…

I’m so glad you like everything! The panda is inspired by the work of Juliette Crane. Looks like the fabric bin got a little misshapen en route. Hopefully you can coax it back to shape.

I love it all :heart: and no worries about the fabric bin, a touch with the iron and it’s sitting up straight!
