{iDN & Society6 Collaboration}

A while ago I took part in a collaboration with iDN & Society6 in the form of a book....that was about six months ago, but it has finally been released! It is called "The New Twenties" and it is filled with great illustrators, designers and creators, which I am very proud to be a part of! I included my papercut lampshade, which you can see below. Oh and you can buy your copy here!





This is how they describe the project:

The New Twenties:
A scintillating survey of the work of today’s 20-somethings, who were all brought up in the technological boom years of the late 20th Century – and whose concepts of self-promotion and networking are radically different from those of their predecessors. In this third IdN Special Edition, we have collaborated with Society6, one of the largest online platforms for up-and-coming designers, to showcase the talent of 58 brilliant young artists with a contemporary outlook on creativity and communicating.

This is a list of participating artists:

(I will warn you now that this post is a little self indulgent but i am really proud and pleased!)

I made it to the front page of etsy yesterday and my "Why is a raven..." papercut quote got put into the Halloween gift guides for Tricks, Treats and Parties, while my birds on wires papercut illustration got put into the Halloween gift guide for Halloween decor! While im on the subject of etsy, i have two treasuries on the go too, one for typography and one for Halloween inspired birds, check them out and see what ya think : )

I got so many hearts and views on my papercuts from the front page feature (about 1000 views!!), a few messages and a sale to wake up to today, so im all happy. Plus I also recently posted the same papercuts on society6 and they got promoted by three people!

In other news, I have recently been tweeting to Heather Moore aka Skinny laMinx (a person who first inspired me with her papercutting) and Hannah Nunn ( who creates amazing papercut lamps here) and both complemented my work, which is such an achievement for me as both of them create such great things! and today i picked up my printed books of my A-Z birds. Once i get them all hand bound and trimmed i will be giving one away right here on my blog (more another time)

This has all happened so fast and i definitely wasn't prepared for it, but lets hope this is the start that my etsy shop needed to get going with regular sales and i am pleased to have made some new internet friends with similar interests!

(phew, self indulgence over.....thanks for reading all this, if you did!)
