Yesterday I finished a set of lovely Ash slice cottage signs for a wonderful self-catering haven (and wedding venue) Little Quarme Cottages in Wheddon Cross www.littlequrame-cottages.co.uk Please see more pictures of signs made for Little Quarme in the Vivid Dove Gallery Business signs

The last sign from my length of beautiful Oak...which I beleive to be Tiger is now finished. What a fab sign to make.  The request was for a fox with the house name to be written in his tail! Have a look at the result. Please see more detailed pictures in the Vivid Dove Gallery under House/Farm Signs 

Having had a long needed day of work on  my website and the virtual world of Vivid Dove I feel I have to say something about weebly.com. This site has proved to be one of the biggest blessings I have found on my rootlings about for a perfect (for me) site. I have tried different hosts, designers and dynamic looking web site companies but by far the best for what I want is these lovely people...weebly! I love my site, it looks fantastic with that rich burnt background and firey gold where I need it. It is not perfect yet but that is up to me as I build it and tend it and learn as I go along. I so enjoy this part of the business as it is nearly as creative as the art it displays, and weebly just lets me get on with it...and for free! It's so great not to have to make that decision between spending the latest sales money on a 'web site wizard host thing' or on a delicious pile of new stock and raw woody material anymore! Why not try it out, weebly's so groovy :)

One of the projects that I am dedicating the month of June to is a wonderful commission that has come to me in a form I really love. I have been given 3 words to express as an image or design - "Wholesome, Natural and Refreshing". I have been given a  size limit and a budget to work to so that makes it a little easier to start...I could get overexcited about a project like this! Woo hoo!
