March 12th 2009:

Hello!

 I'm now displaying and selling my work in a fabulous shop in Ellesmere called Space.

The shop doesn't have a website yet, but is well worth a visit as it is jam-packed with work from loads of brilliant artists from the Shropshire area. All of the shop's profits go towards supporting adults with disabilities who want to express themselves through arts and crafts - the money raised by the shop provides materials and resources which are essential to keeping this wonderful facilty going.

Please drop by the shop if you get the chance - the address is 7 Scotland Street, Ellesmere, Shropshire, SY12 0DG. (Click here for directions) .

Take care

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
 
I hope you've all had a great Xmas and New Year so far!!
Just to let you know I will hopefully be doing more Endangered Species illustrations throughout 2008, if I have the time, as I am still concentrating on my own personal projects - but feel free to call me if you desperately would like a portrait towards Xmas 2008!!! I'll try my best to accommodate on a strictly first come first served basis.
Thanks again for your support.

Take care

November 25th 2007:

Merry Xmas and Season's Greetings!!
 
Next year I will be concentrating on my personal projects, this will mean, unfortunately, that my pet, family and fantasy portraits will have to take a back seat.  I will only be doing around four commissions a year so, if you do want a portrait, please book well in advance and  contact me as soon as possible to save a place.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
 
I will be doing the Xmas Market for the Glyndwr Farmers Market at the Corwen Pavilion on the 2nd of December.  So please pop down, if you can, for a chat and look at all the wonderful gifts and goodies on display there.  Check out "Wigtoms Dog Bakery" if you're a doggie lover, like me!!!

Have a great Xmas and all the best for the New Year.

Speak to you in 2008.

Lots of love
Luv
Shell

On Sunday the 3rd of December Awbers will have a market stall selling framed pictures and art work at the Glyndwr Farmer’s Market.  This is based at Lord Newborough’s Estate in Rhug – just outside Corwen, North Wales - (Click here for directions). It should be a good pre-Xmas doo (in fancy dress!) Lots of amazing crafts, artists, food stalls and a farm café (my favourite!)

My friend, Rhian from Wigtoms.com will be there selling her gorgeous dog treats – not that I know they’re gorgeous … but, the peanut butter and carob biccies are to die for!!!  And so healthy – but alas they are all for the pampered pooches! Luv Shell   -x-
