Over the weekend I hit the 900 sales mark! 🤗 Yes there was a celebratory dance! It’s so lovely to have something I’ve built from scratch continue to grow and be successful. I’ve spent the day at home printing card orders and painting dog portraits and I’m loving it! Thank you for all your orders. Every single one means a lot to me. ❤️. . . . #etsyselleruk#etsysellersni#etsysuccess#onegirlband#smallvictories#mycreativebiz#etsymilestone#900sales#mysmallbusiness#slowlydoesit#irishartist#makelivesell#belfastartist#dreamjobmakers#thatcreativelife#selfemployedlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BqssnTchqH5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a03b4gk66t0o

Here’s a pretty little giraffe to give your Monday a boost! ❤️ After seeing my zebra print, the lovely @chikumo asked me to create a giraffe version and this was the result. I have to say I love it, as did she! ☺️ This print along with most of my other designs will be available at the Etsy Made Local market this weekend in Bangor! The last time I did a market was 4 years ago! 🙈 I’m excited to have another go! Take a look at @etsysellersni for more info. 🎄 . . . . #etsymadelocal#etsymadelocalni#etsysellersni#etsyuk#giraffeprint#rosegolddecor#safariprint#animalprints#pentelbrushpen#handpainted#illustratorsoninstagram#supportsmall https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqp6S8bhtp9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v3dyk7c5j83a

I did a little tour of what I use to paint my pet portraits in my stories yesterday. It’s probably not that normal to start with the darkest areas but that’s what I do! I use the black ink pen to put the dark bits in & then use watercolour with a water brush to do the rest. My favourite part to paint is the eyes. I often begin with them because if you mess those up you might as well start again!. . . . . #watercolourpaint#homeinthestudio#mysetup#artisttools#toolsofthetrade#custompetportrait#pentelbrushpen#waterbrush#kitchenroll#winsorandnewton#paintitblack#illustratorsoninstagram#allintheeyes (at Belfast) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqhxzl1BZyW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v4jks5suwxay

Season 5 of House of Cards is now on Netflix! I have high expectations as the last season was so epic!! It took me a while to get into it as it's quite heavy at times & takes concentration to keep track of everything. This amazing espresso cup & saucer is made by @polonapolonashop. It comes as a set with a Claire one too! I love her work & style so much, Polona that is, not Claire... There's only one set left on her website. If you fancy it. Who else will be watching?? #houseofcards#houseofcardsseason5#francisunderwood#onenationunderwood#🇺🇸#cupandsaucer#esspresso#coffeecup#polonapolona#supportsmallbusiness#smallbusinesslife#netflix#weekendwatch#newseason#kevinspacey#monochrome#portrait#onegirlband#homeinthestudio#illustration#finelineart

I lycra your wheels! 🚲 Made with Father's Day in mind but fitting for other occasions too. The good weather fairly brings out all the keen bikers doesn't it! - Side note: I got some new nail polish! 💁

A few months ago I bought a Linocut kit. A few weeks ago I actually opened it up & started creating! I drew Chuck Berry repeatedly until I got an expression I liked. Then I made it into a Linocut! The print you see here was my very first go. I'm going to cut it again & make a few adjustments. I plan to do a series of these small prints with big white borders. All with a musical theme! 🤗 #debmondesign#linocut#linoprint#chuckberry#linocutprint#lineart#modernmaker#rocknroll#guitarmusic#handmade#limitededitionprint#musicians#onegirlband#creativeliving#trysomethingnew#sharpie#newwork#musicart#monochrome#minimalove#pursuepretty#posttheportrait#belfastartist#irishartist#etsyukseller#supportlocalartists#workinprogress#homeinthestudio#studioscenes

The first few orders of the season are coming in. Some people are very organised! And yes, I have started reading "A Briefer History of Time". Did you know that in one second a beam of light can travel 186,000 miles!! 😱 In 1 second! So just think how far away a light year is! #debmondesign#stationarylove#greetingcards#heathens#atheisthumor#wintersolstice#stephenhawking#abrieferhistoryoftime#humanist#secular#universe#vscocam#agnostic#hitchens#holidayspirit#freedomfromreligion#funnycards#flatlay#homeinthestudio#lightyear#science#etsysuccess
