Everybody is Different




I'd love to look through UWE graduate's Bett Norris's Alphabet Book - Everybody is different.
Take a peek at her children's story book project 'Nigel's Party'  and the rest of her illustration portfolio here. Bristol-based Norris is interested in commissions and work experience and sells some of her prints on etsy
One to watch out for, me thinks.

Andrea Tachezy Giveaway


We go back a long way,  Bear and I.


I knew it was meant to be as soon as I saw him standing there, peeping out.


He's ever-so shy, but when he smiles - ah! I'm smitten!


He introduced me to his friends, small in number but loyal to the core.
Little blue-eared Piti Piti is his favourite chum, 
Always smiling, singing and ready to give him a hug.


His rosy-cheeked pals Little Bear and Little Bunny
Are also kinda fun.
They like to play, and tend to cling
But stick around when things get tough.


An inseparable gang
Through thick and thin,
Give it a go,
You might even win...



I never tire of dipping into Andrea Tachezy's world. A teacher, an artist, an illustrator, a maker, her talents are many and varied, her work surprising, playful and endearing. If you take the time to explore Andrea's beautiful blog, portfolio and shop, you will see how much she loves animals, textiles, textures and paper. I find this collection particularly moving, along with these two prints.




If you would like a chance to win this handmade bear card, piti piti soft toy and two bunny and bear badges generously offered by Andrea Tachezy:
 
1) Leave me a comment below (making sure to leave me an email address)
2) Spread the news via twitter, facebook or any other means and I'll pop two names in the hat (make sure you let me know).

This giveaway runs until Friday 10th June at 6 pm, CET
I will announce the winner the same evening.

Good Luck!
