The Brontë Sisters Notebook


This is something new for my shop! Here are some notebooks created for all literary ladies and perfect for making quick notes, jotting down plot ideas for your novel or sketching.

Based on my original artwork reflecting the interior of the Brontë parsonage in Haworth (pictured below), the scene portrays the three Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne (from left to right) in their dining room supporting each other in their literary endeavours and working on their respective novels. The three sisters are even wearing the colours depicted in the famous portrait by their brother Bramwell in the National Portrait Gallery, London. 


You can see how I created the various collage aspects of the picture using cut outs, paint and even a vintage printing block!




I then had a little bit of help photographing the finished notebooks from a certain fluffy cat!

My New Favourite Etsy Shop

Given the amount of time I spend searching etsy for unusual little trinkets, I thought it might be nice to promote fellow artisans in my blog so this will the first of my recommendations (I'm sure there will be many more!)
I rather love this hand drawn badge from Elizabeth Pawle Illustration. Just the right amount of quirky cute and a British based designer too so very fast shipping!

I have purchased one of her original drawings
as a little present to myself but I am strongly contemplating getting a few Christmas presents from her shop over the next month or so.

What etsy/folksy shops make you smile? :-)
