Well, it was a wonderful afternoon at Challis House. I sold some of my new jigsaw puzzles and greetings cards, and met another artist, Fran Godwood (her stand was next to mine), who paints the most incredible garden scenes and exquisite plant landscapes. She also makes prints. I believe the Show and Fete were a great success for the gardens and raised much needed funds for all the projects going on there. I hope everyone who visited enjoyed it as much as I did.
Here is a little film of photographs taken during the afternoon:
Just received some lovely new traditional, 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles of my work which will be on show at Challis House Gardens tomorrow. There will be lots of stuff going on as it is a Horticultural Show as well as an Annual Fete. So lots to do and see. Do come along if you are in the Sawston area and spend a lovely afternoon browsing the goods on offer, looking at the gardens, tea and cake, and an auction of produce at the end of the show. A beautiful, typical, British afternoon pursuit of old!!!
Some of my “goodies” – note the brand new traditional jigsaw puzzles in the centre of the picture. “Nettie’s Nature Series” and all VERY CHALLENGING! And, new recently, 40-piece wooden fun jigsaw puzzles (postcard size). Also my usual greetings cards, River Friend Books, Notebooks, and Calendars – all handcrafted.
Below are a few pictures of the NEW Nettie’s Nature [Traditional] Puzzles:
Puffins and Thrift (or Fratercula arctica antics)
The Baths of Bath
Red Kite and Life in a Dead Tree
Artist Code 1517. “The Shires”.
Passion Flower Bits
“Ralph—No!” [This is an experiment to see if monotone makes a good, difficult jigsaw!]
