look!

You know how I mentioned I had finally made prints of my illustrations, well yesterday I dropped off 5 big prints and 2 small ones to a fantastic new children's store in a nearby suburb. The prints are limited edition giclee prints, and are framed with lovely big mats. They looked so nice once they were all finished, but they looked even better in the shop! It was so surreal seeing my works framed and on the wall of a shop, they suddenly looked all fancy, and I had a split second of seeing them as though they weren't mine.



The shop is quite new, and is the type of place you dream about owning. It has the coolest vintage wallpaper, and she had filled her store with amazing items from all over the world (some of it she buys straight from Etsy!). It's rather "boutique" (translation: a little on the pricey side), but in the best kind of way, with unique, quirky, well made things. Clothing, decor, books, softies... It's really a most unique store. And she plays fantastic music.

I went in there one day. The store was brand new. I don't know what came over me but I introduced myself as a local artist and mentioned that I do childrens stuff. It was so unlike me! Anyway, one thing lead to another and yesterday at lunchtime I delivered my first batch. By closing time 2 big prints had sold already! (fingers crossed that it keeps up like this).

Anyway, if you're in Sydney, go check it out. The shop itself is well worth a visit:
