my creative space - for japan

I've been meaning to list these new prints for a while now. Did you know I'm a dreadful procrastinater. It's true!

That's one of the things I like about My Creative Space. Each Thursday I get to think about what I have created or what I'm making. It helps keep me making, getting things done. Though some weeks I'm surprised by how quickly it reappears!

Anyway, I love the new incarnation of my Teapot design, updated for my new tea towels and I've been daydreaming a while about making them as prints. I was really surprised back then about how much I loved the red version, especially as blue and white crockery is one of my favourite things.

When I was putting it in the frame this morning it made me think of the red and white Japanese flag designs that have been appearing, supporting the Japanese relief effort and I knew straight away I was going to list it with half the money going to Japan via the Australian Red Cross. So if you want a new Teapot print (A4 size which fits so perfectly in this Ikea Ribba frame) printed with archival inks, signed and dated in pencil, and with half the profits going to a great cause, here's your chance.

Look out for new colours too. Any suggestions? Of course dark blue is a must, then maybe if I'm brave a limey green!
