Cards and Prints


Greetings Cards
Copyright Laura Hardie 2013

I haven’t shared my cards and prints yet here on my blog – I think deep down I was waiting until I had better photos of them but that could be a couple of months away and it will be old news by then. You can see what I mean by my photos and can only apologise! I’m actually really excited as I’ve signed up for a photography class that I start in March and I’m hoping it will not only improve my camera skills but encourage me to get out and about more with my camera and take lots of photos. I promised myself I was going to record more of my year by way of photos so it’s at least a start. Anyway, I digress, back to my cards and prints.

I currently have 5 of my drawings made into cards - ‘Seriously’, ‘Devotion’, ‘Beau’, ‘Want to Play’ and ‘The Look’. Blank inside for your own message they are professionally printed on 350gsm smooth silk white card, and include an envelope (of course) and are sealed in a clear bag. Cards are £2.25 each or 5 for £10. Great to give to family or friends or why not keep them and put them in a 5’’x 7’’ frame. Think that covers my cards but any questions please let me know.


Clyde

I was really excited about my ‘Clyde’ prints as not only is it one of my favourite drawings, I couldn’t be happier with how the prints turned out. Printed on 315gsm archival, acid free paper the image size of the print is 28cm x 24cm (mounted size: 41.5cm x 38.5cm). I am limiting this print to just 15 copies and all will be signed and numbered - £65 and one could be yours.


Daydreamer

‘Daydreamer’ is one of my older prints that I still have available, though I only have three that I could post straight away. This one is printed on the same paper as ‘Clyde’ so I wont go repeating myself here and image size is 19.5cm x 27.5cm (mounted, 30.5cm x 39.5cm). All are signed and numbered and cost is £60. This is a scan of Daydreamer to give you a better idea of how your print will look.

 Both prints are available to purchase direct from myself so if interested in owning either one, or both, please message or email me.

Boxer


Hector
10''x 8'', Pencil
Copyright Laura Hardie 2013

Plumbers, boilers, joiners, tax returns, paperwork, car, puppy searching, daughters 18th – I’m sure there’s more - have all kept me away from the drawing board this past week so have been stealing minutes here and there to work on my latest drawing when I can. Not the most productive start to the new year I had hoped for but, fingers crossed, it’s back to normality tomorrow. I am working on two drawings just now, one I can’t share with you as it’s to be a surprise for someone and the other, a horse, I can and will in my next post. It’s still very much in the early stages but hoping to get lots done over the next few days. That’s the plan at least.

Hector, above, was a Christmas commission so I can now safely show him. He has to be, no, is the most adorable Boxer that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and I could very easily have taken him home with me. I want me a Hector!

And before I forget (as if I could:)) - you can now view this years winners of the Ex Arte Equinus VI competition online and I seriously recommend you do if you can. But make yourself a coffee first as you could be there sometime! ‘Time Out’ is there with it’s rosette in the Drawing category along with ‘Pep Talk’. Genuinely couldn’t be happier to be amongst such talented artists.
