Finding Rory!

24/12/2025

Say hello to . . . . Rory! The Art Bunny Dinosaur finally has a name!

I put up a naming sheet in the shop a couple of months ago and today we pulled a name out of a basket and 'Rory' was the winner!

Thank you to everyone who wrote down a name; it was so much fun seeing all of your suggestions!

Rory is very happy with his new name and he and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Nadolig Llawen!

28/11/2025

I decided I loved my Nadolig Llawen design so much I'd also make it into a standing decoration! I've been getting all of my wooden decorations from Lightning Laser and they are so lovely. I can't wait to design some more that aren't just for Christmas!

Available to buy in my shop in Wrexham and online here.

Cute animals and Christmas puns

Look at my lovely new wooden Christmas decorations! They're all coloured pencil illustrations of mine that have been printed onto wood and laser cut by Lightning Laser - made in the UK which is something I always aim for.

They all have adorable names too because I love a Christmas pun!

All of these are available to buy now
in my shop in Wrexham and online here.

More new Christmas cards!
Santa Claws is in town - his sleeves are too long and his boots too small but he's ready for Christmas and loving it!
Plus my first Welsh Christmas card featuring an illustration of the Welsh dragon - Y Ddraig Goch - with some colourful festive bunting and sparkly fairy lights.
Both of these were just meant to be wooden Christmas decorations but they were so cool I had to turn them into cards too!

Sexy Santa and a Dipsy Dino

Here are a couple of new Christmas cards I made for this year! First is a Christmas 'Dinos with Desserts' card featuring a Camposaurus with a Christmas Pudding - because dinosaurs and Christmas are totally a thing now! The second is design I did for a Brains Beer competition that didn't win but I thought it was cool so I thought I'd make it into a Christmas card. Heaving that sack of presents around is clearly a very good arm workout!

Both of these are available to buy in my shop and online here.

It's Chriiistmas (almost)!

Another Wrexham Artisan Market and my first (sort of) Christmas market of the year. It was another lovely day (they really do know how to pick the weather!) and once again lots of people came through. I also had some return customers which is always amazing.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

IT'S CHRISTMAAAAAS!!! Well almost, so I made some cute little Christmas craft bits to sell at Brew Corner in Wrexham and Haven Cafe in Llandudno. It was a good excuse to use up a bunch of old craft stuff I had lying around and it was nice to just have some fun and be creative for a few days. The rockabilly robin magnets are definitely my favourite and I think I might make some other types of bird magnets in this style too. I also had a bit of fun doing a fancy photo shoot for them!

Roll on Christmas!

Cakes,cakes,cakes!

11/1/2018

The new year was book-ended by a lot of cake! Below is a quick rundown of each one and there are more photos of each cake on my Cakes page.

This was one of my Christmas cakes. I wanted to do something cute this year, and what's cuter than little round robins in woolly hats! The little robin's yellow and orange hat was inspired by Jane's hat from Firefly, which is just a really fantastic hat!

This cake was supposed to have a Christmas tree on it with little presents but I forgot to buy green icing! However I had an abundance of white icing so I decided to go with snowmen instead. I love these two little guys; they're so adorable! I love how simple and innocent this cake looks too. It's just two little snowy friends showing how much they care for each other. A lovely Christmas moment.

This was a 21st birthday cake with a Real Madrid theme. I'm not really a football fan but I do like how the football pattern on this turned out.

I really loved making this cake. Unicorn cakes are really popular at the moment and I have actually wanted to try my hand at one for a while. I enjoyed doing the piping work on this. I haven't done a lot of piping work other than on cupcakes and it was nice to do something different. It was also my first time using gold food paint and I really like how it looks. Other than the fact I knocked over the tub full of little gold balls which went everywhere this cake was a pleasure to make. This was my first cake of 2018 and was a nice pretty way to start the year.

Now this cake was a fun challenge. When I first saw photos of other champagne bucket cakes I just couldn't figure how I was going to make one. I knew a real champagne bottle wouldn't work as it would be too heavy. In the end I decided to carve the bottle out of polystyrene as it's very light. I designed a label on my computer to try and make it look as much like a champagne bottle as possible, and used the gold wrapping from Ferrero Roche for the top (which I think was a little stroke of genius!). I'm pretty proud of this cake, and it was fun to do something so different.

Christmas banner 2017!

The festive season is upon us and so is this year's Art Bunny Christmas banner! Artemis and Sadie have teamed up to help wrap some special Christmas presents - although it looks like they've got themselves into a bit of a mess!

I'm back!

It's been a while! I've taken a little break from art these past few months to put together my new art room. It's been quite a project and as usual took longer than I thought it would because I can't help but be picky! It's finished now though and is all flowery and twinkly and ready for some creative magic!

Here is the first painting painted in my new room. It's a copy of another painting that someone asked me to do for them. The original painting was done in oils and was really beautiful. I did this one in acrylics and I think it's a pretty good copy.

Although I haven't been creating much in the way of art I have made a few cakes. First there were my two Christmas cakes which were a bit simpler this year as we went away for Christmas and they needed to travel. Then I made a cake featuring a Mini for a birthday. I'm pretty proud of my Mini cake. The inside of the Mini is made from polystyrene to keep it light and keep a more solid shape.

You can see more photos of these on my Cakes page. Now it's time to get back to art!
