This is a new painting entitled 'Tuesdays Child' that is currently on display in the Monkey Cafe in Swansea. It measures 28 x 12ins, and it's Acrylic on canvas. It sold before the exhibition went up, to the lovely lady who owns the cafe, so I was really pleased about that! I haven't painted on canvas for a while, I'd forgotten how nice it is! She's available as a print in my Etsy shop.
...................................................................................................................................................................This is a pencil artwork on painted board that I've recently donated to an art auction. You can check out the details of the fundraising here. I got chatting to Mike through Facebook because he runs an online gallery called Art-el - AMAZING work on there!!
It's entitled 'Gifted'. I think, including the frame, it measures around 12 x 12ins (I forgot to measure it before I sent it off! :P ) Her wings have an iridescent shimmer on them (you can just about see it in the pics!) She's also available as a hand embellished print in my Etsy shop, with the same shimmery wings as in the original. :)
I'll post the full details of the auction once they are confirmed.
...................................................................................................................................................................I've also been making some custom jewellery. This is a sterling silver and glass pendant that I made for a very lovely friend of mine! I'm definitely going to make some brass and silvertone versions of these for my Etsy shop! But of course, If anyone is interested in the sterling version, just let me know and I'd be happy to create one for you! :)
...................................................................................................................................................................Another silver and glass custom necklace, created as a birthday gift for a friends wife. The little initial bead was soo cute! :P
And this was a custom brass dragonfly necklace, created as an anniversary gift, also for the same friends good lady wife! ;) 
...................................................................................................................................................................Finally, this is a pendant design I'll be adding to my shop soon, along with some other new jewllery that I'm making (inc various pendants in silver and brass, custom rings, and cuff bracelets!)
...................................................................................................................................................................I've also moved all my prints from my Carbonmade shop, over to Etsy. It felt weird having them spread over two shops, and Carbonmade felt really cold and impersonal compared to the lovely, friendly Etsy!!

To finish off this epic post(!), this is a sketch that is next on my list to work up into a final artwork. I've had this pretty huge (28 x 24ins) and gorgeous frame for ages, and I've been slightly intimidated by it! Haha! But I think this is the piece that I'm going to paint for it! Right after I've finished painting...
...this! I'm finishing this piece over the next three days, for entry into an open exhibition in London. The deadline is Tuesday, so I'm cutting it fine!! Nothing unusual there though! :D This is my prep drawing, the final painting will be on a wooden art board measuring 12 x 16ins. I'll post a pic when it's done! x
