Ever since I have been making cards for family and friends. But now I've run out of personal recipients and needed an outlet for my creativity. The obvious thing to do was open an Etsy shop, especially as the site specialises in handmade items. My first card for the shop is this multi-layered card with a decoupaged panel of flowers and a large sentiment saying Warm Hugs for you. It has a bright blue glitter card background and matching blue gems in the flower centre. It's 6" x 6" in size and priced at £4.99 plus postage of £1.50 (Sadly I am only able to ship within the U.K. at the moment, although this may change in the future).<br /> <br /><p></p>CharmaineZoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03631263319323092781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025902.post-65406160544372777182020-08-21T19:29:00.007+00:002020-08-21T19:57:31.114+00:00Impressions: Ripples in the Sand now available from Pixels.com<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://charmainezoe-troup.pixels.com/featured/impressions-ripples-in-the-sand-charmaine-zoe.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1574" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyyUi-Bm8Eg7EzmR2xNTonrAG-vmjHbIbeNYvelz9MvuiS-tKEAJBsmqKPMtFzSi85WE-qOsKXSo8zpMIQpE7-MmLbETMUWVt5NJSsOPtfpNg_ONCzNBNCfALtPzPKpwXEkQ4g/w492-h640/Expressions+-+Ripples+Sheet.jpg" width="492" /></a></div><br /></div>##Pixels #FineArtAmerica #Zazzle #Redbubble #Society6 #POD #homefurnishings #interiordecoration #gifts #designer #abstract #orange #brown #art #prints #onlinesales #decorative <p></p>CharmaineZoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03631263319323092781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025902.post-48049281835788259222020-08-21T11:28:00.002+00:002021-06-11T18:31:01.430+00:00New Website for Throw Pillows & Cushions<p> Well this week has been a complete write-off when it comes to getting out with the camera. Having had wonderful weather last week well into the 80's here in the UK, it has now gone to torrential monsoon conditions all week, and at the moment we are actually in the middle of Storm Ellen!</p><p>So all week I've been working on my personal domain website. I have had had the domain www.charmainezoe.com for many years now, but never really did much with it apart from use it as a personal website. I also had the domain charmainezoe.net, which is the one I used for my art & design activity. I never liked the platform I used for that and a couple of years ago I decided to jettison it. But I kept the .com one going as I felt it had more value.</p><p>I've finally decided to make use of it properly and redesigned & revamped it into a dedicated website just for my Throw Pillows & Cushion designs that I sell on Pixels, Redbubble, Society6, FineArtAmerica and Zazzle. This allows me to bring all these designs together in one place and makes it easier for customers to browse through my many & varied designs.</p><p>These are mainly kaleidoscopes and fractal abstracts and patterns, but I also have lots of vintage designs I have upcycled from images in old books and magazines. and given them a new lease of life.</p><p>Visit my new website at <a href="http://www.charmainezoe.webs.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CharmaineZoe's Throw Pillows & Cushions</span></a> and maybe you will find a design you would like to own there.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFkCmnNVNJE6oLRDzpfG4ZyAMiwLK35R3KYztXIACDovosbdVhw9wbBKosB9zsLMZz6LRDj3LTcPeRtk8blwWlRePiVhHegX3RrTmuOTQIKD7AecNUws4Dr-zAKijLo9lKbG6/s1125/Webpage+Clipping+-+homepage+Pixels.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="745" height="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFkCmnNVNJE6oLRDzpfG4ZyAMiwLK35R3KYztXIACDovosbdVhw9wbBKosB9zsLMZz6LRDj3LTcPeRtk8blwWlRePiVhHegX3RrTmuOTQIKD7AecNUws4Dr-zAKijLo9lKbG6/w526-h800/Webpage+Clipping+-+homepage+Pixels.PNG" width="526" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JlNQOkkvo2Y/Xz-n23R-84I/AAAAAAAANFc/Fe69jiTGhlkf3uRBLVEZlRFcKNeg4LuQQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1265/Webpage%2BClipping%2B-%2Bhomepage%2BZazzle.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1265" data-original-width="742" height="1000" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JlNQOkkvo2Y/Xz-n23R-84I/AAAAAAAANFc/Fe69jiTGhlkf3uRBLVEZlRFcKNeg4LuQQCLcBGAsYHQ/w585-h1000/Webpage%2BClipping%2B-%2Bhomepage%2BZazzle.PNG" width="585" /></a></div><p>#cushions #throwpillows #interiors #homefurnishings #softfurnishings #designer #home</p>CharmaineZoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03631263319323092781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025902.post-55112634137376311992020-08-21T11:08:00.000+00:002020-08-21T11:08:32.007+00:00Bird Hide from an old Camping Tent<p><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "segoe ui historic", "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "segoe ui historic", "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />Recently got myself a smart new DSLR camera, a Canon EOS 200D, and have been busy photographing the wildlife in the garden (This is Day 151 of our Lockdown so not much else to photo!) and have set up an improvised bird hide with an old camping tent we used for storage when away on our camping trips. I've set it up with a comfy camping chair & cushion, it even has a side table for my snacks & a drink and on the other side there's even a cool bag to keep my drinks cold. I sit in there for several hours and shoot the birds and local squirrels that come to visit. My hubby thinks it's hilarious! </span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk8nihTOKc2TMHbsjjrQG9p-cv4cCRWv-utpJXbnUc-4N8fGqWqhAE8BYyloON6KcDDW5c_zx2Ax_S-Ngbvmfqp_-cbuIfQLbT1Q25_YrxnmmxTfOJWHl0uwEG7kxWEoCa6fu/w288-h512/50076162861_9ae2b99553_k.jpg" style="text-align: left;" width="288" /><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXsdawnrsS2DponfzW8Yj5GJxLhqXSsgTwK3at0ReXoO9nrfc5ff09twkK2rdVkNsIvEYSOD4HcIQZNwCM-gFPL5ffBQWREUSHRBC5Qt4GQoPnWVR_Ss5Iyw6pmbMoEY4AfcSy/w288-h512/50076162851_1dcf29acb4_k.jpg" style="text-align: left;" width="288" /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xPb0rePoqa4/Xz-kIZ-5cxI/AAAAAAAANFE/_REP3Ge7VFgQhpiuaNhvRpjxGPsfhQP5ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1268/50081138837_d4fa8dd21d_k.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1148" data-original-width="1268" height="462" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xPb0rePoqa4/Xz-kIZ-5cxI/AAAAAAAANFE/_REP3Ge7VFgQhpiuaNhvRpjxGPsfhQP5ACLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h462/50081138837_d4fa8dd21d_k.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPoVUScjwHR0CAnpC6gzAgh8I56QXlv_ME-RN8S-cGdq2bhvBsIzyyLf4v_WEfuME7pxaLwxrtIOdAOB7LIE4_eW2nCH-2cbtmAumnVeK_OKuEg9V3Mot4f3Bwkd70SUQHpW7/s2048/50083828377_11a0bb591c_k.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPoVUScjwHR0CAnpC6gzAgh8I56QXlv_ME-RN8S-cGdq2bhvBsIzyyLf4v_WEfuME7pxaLwxrtIOdAOB7LIE4_eW2nCH-2cbtmAumnVeK_OKuEg9V3Mot4f3Bwkd70SUQHpW7/w512-h288/50083828377_11a0bb591c_k.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p></p>CharmaineZoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03631263319323092781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025902.post-56134188457677691402020-08-21T10:45:00.003+00:002020-08-21T10:45:25.425+00:0040% OFF at Zazzle!<p></p><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Limited time only - 40% Off (Nearly) Everything!

After wading through 82 pages of sales on Zazzle.com I was amazed at the list I managed to produce. Turns out I have customers in the following countries: </br>
</br>
USA, Canada, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Slovenia, Malta, Turkey, Israel, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea & Qatar.</br>

This has now developed into a really nasty cough, with me feeling headachy and cream crackered! So washed out I can't bring myself to find the energy to work on my Society6 artwork and promotions (Imagine that!) I feel a snooze coming on even now :-) Will just have to see how I feel tomorrow as to whether I go in to work or not, unfortunately that's where I picked it up as we've loads of staff all coughing and spluttering and it just gets recycled by the air conditioning! Surprised it's taken this long to pick something up. Think I may be in for a miserable week or two! :-(

I called this blog "Tails of Terror from the Black Lagoon" originally and for many years it stayed that way. I still use it as the subtitle! :-)
This was because a lot of what I wrote about in the early years involved the sometimes hilarious exploits of Pepsi and Max when they were puppies and very mischevious. Pepsi is a west highland white terrier, a Westie, and Max was a Scottish terrier, or Scotty. They lived in a large enclosed pen on one side of the study I shared with my husband, Ian.CharmaineZoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03631263319323092781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025902.post-53765726328562671732015-12-27T17:36:00.003+00:002015-12-27T18:46:50.424+00:00Blowing the Budget on Art Materials on Amazon!I couldn't resist visiting Amazon today and peeking at the Boxing Day Deals. When what should I behold but a complete set of the Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolour Pencils for half price! <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003GKXK9Y"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u4c9xh1hi9o/VoAivmhjJOI/AAAAAAAALQg/p4DH2-rX4r8/s1600/81xNMEcNRqL._SL1500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u4c9xh1hi9o/VoAivmhjJOI/AAAAAAAALQg/p4DH2-rX4r8/s320/81xNMEcNRqL._SL1500_.jpg" /></a></div></a> Now these are normally far too expensive for me to even consider but when I saw the complete set of 120 was available at a price that worked out at £1 each (plus £5 for the box!) I just couldn't resist them!<br?>
<br?>
AND THEN I saw they also had the 72 set of Derwent Inktense Watercolour pencils priced at £20 less than normal - so of course that had to go in the basket as well. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPh6rfGvW0qUWTwk9hizSlxAFnMMQQ7CYI2Y7FeCYQoydA_m2Ht53Mm_LWOlIbMLRB0wIsydHWiU4KLuE_Wz8KHOHSehsa_k4uZ-I9EV-hCIvinr7pAOaJH-mks2ePeCzE3tzu/s1600/71esCGP7NfL._SL1404_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPh6rfGvW0qUWTwk9hizSlxAFnMMQQ7CYI2Y7FeCYQoydA_m2Ht53Mm_LWOlIbMLRB0wIsydHWiU4KLuE_Wz8KHOHSehsa_k4uZ-I9EV-hCIvinr7pAOaJH-mks2ePeCzE3tzu/s320/71esCGP7NfL._SL1404_.jpg" /></a></div> Quickly followed by a (after all got to have something to carry them in!) <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRBmFHi0EESmIf_4wdJaYCwTj2begNpquR5Klqz5f04BjaFa8qFW5MHM3ym_EMMcCPHm0M8lBpMhOEMXVw7foyct88H7rfpzI7tDBmpqZh1fMvkkFwM7livPB1CL1-kUW5cuq/s1600/71FU-VopXzL._SL1240_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRBmFHi0EESmIf_4wdJaYCwTj2begNpquR5Klqz5f04BjaFa8qFW5MHM3ym_EMMcCPHm0M8lBpMhOEMXVw7foyct88H7rfpzI7tDBmpqZh1fMvkkFwM7livPB1CL1-kUW5cuq/s320/71FU-VopXzL._SL1240_.jpg" /></a></div> and a Waterbrush set<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja0EC6Ln76k4NxY5Isdq93rZHdYlKa-hqN2EOUld1SqMyMCPvKQXS-FnnG5MXLO4piTs3fxB0zrU03nOvI8V92PuT8wkAbB6oqUZgOwe2NftZVpkra_zeZlmy6P7UxkRBZ-2RE/s1600/61fHxgMRZhL._SL1200_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja0EC6Ln76k4NxY5Isdq93rZHdYlKa-hqN2EOUld1SqMyMCPvKQXS-FnnG5MXLO4piTs3fxB0zrU03nOvI8V92PuT8wkAbB6oqUZgOwe2NftZVpkra_zeZlmy6P7UxkRBZ-2RE/s320/61fHxgMRZhL._SL1200_.jpg" /></a></div> not to mention a <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2aCN4z-UWYOq93XCOhDJe4jgxGh1Km_am3i9Z83qytTYU0DlgixcSKaSWujlVw8if8ZYRuN5G_VLOycckWhmek7HjyN3xCRWbbdHac124BUv_HKVE2r8rXSf9_IGKUqfJotM/s1600/81wzQC%252Be85L._SL1500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2aCN4z-UWYOq93XCOhDJe4jgxGh1Km_am3i9Z83qytTYU0DlgixcSKaSWujlVw8if8ZYRuN5G_VLOycckWhmek7HjyN3xCRWbbdHac124BUv_HKVE2r8rXSf9_IGKUqfJotM/s320/81wzQC%252Be85L._SL1500_.jpg" /></a></div> So I'm afraid I've pushed the boat out quite a lot. I justify it to myself that I would never normally be able to afford these sets so although they are still not cheap by any means at least I don't feel excessively guilty in treating myself to them (only a little bit and it helped most of my family and friends know they can't go wrong giving me Amazon vouchers for Christmas LOL!)<br/>
<br/>
Can't wait until they arrive on Tuesday, and in the meantime I'm watching lots of coloured pencils tutorials on YouTube!
You might wonder what brought on this sudden interest? Well, it was a visit to the <a href="http://www.pencilmuseum.co.uk/">Cumberland Pencil Museum</a> while we were in Cumbria, home of Derwent pencils - and seeing all those gorgeous boxes and sets for sale in the museum's shop. I did purchase 3 small sets of 12 each of the Inktense, Watercolour and Metallic pencils while I was there, but that merely whetted my enthusiasm :-) Sadly I've learn't that the Museum was affected in the recent horrendous flooding in Cumbria and is closed for refurbishment until at least March - how sad is that?CharmaineZoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03631263319323092781noreply@blogger.com0
