Neglected Ink

Poor neglected Inky shop! Well my last post was way way back in February and I have had a busy few months. The Felt Menagerie has been super super busy with lots of wedding orders and some new galleries and shops to supply and I haven't had any time to make new inky things or do anything except maintain my shops. 

In fact there was a point in the last few months where John and I discussed just closing down Ink altogether and selling off my supplies and remaining stock. I was just worn out from being a feltmaker my drawing and printing were falling by the way side. Not helped by the lack of energy and the fact that I had only been able to make it to 2 ceramics classes last term. Frankly the whole thing was getting me down until this last couple of weeks where there was a lull in the felty orders and I had a little more time to play... maybe it's just the seasons changing but I have started feeling a bit more energised and inspired.

I have been making these lino plates of nests for ceramics class and printing them on to procelain, I have to wait to fire the ceramics before I take any pictures but I am very very happy with my prints and there should be some paper versions appearing in the shop soon. Also I am drawing again, for some reason I am obsessed with bears... so at the top of this post is my favourite grumpy bear drawing which I will be making into a gocco print soon. 

 It feels very good to be inspired and working again, sometimes us creative types get stuck in a bit of a rut and it takes a while to work thru it. I'm looking forward to a creative summer *:D

Inky Updates, Lavender Bag Clearance, plans for 2012

Inkmeup is edging closer to 500 etsy sales... and you all know what that means, once we hit 500 we'll be having a giveaway... yay!

I had such good fun doing the sale I decided to keep all my lavender bags half price until the stock clears and I can get to making some new ones, brooches have also stayed at 20% off at etsy and I have moved alot of discontinued stock into my sale section to clear... when it's gone, it's gone so if you wanted something don't miss out, grab it now! Also since I have lost my regular notebook supplier and I'm not sure if I can source another notebooks are now all reduced slightly and some discontinued designs are just £5.

I have been thinking alot about the future of Inkmeup lately as my other shop Feltmeupdesigns has been doing so well Ink has been a little neglected... I am pondering if I continue with Ink as I don't have as much time as I would like to invest in it... but that decision is way off in the future. It's likely that Inkmeup is going to undergo some major changes this year so keep an eye out for updates. Don't worry tho... I won't be going anywhere without giving you a heads up!

It looks like this year is shaping up to be as crazy and exciting as last year with more collaborations with Eatme Artspace planned, more felty adventures into new territories and hopefully one or too inky ones too... watch this space!

Super Silly Sale!!!

I've gone a bit silly... I was just doing a little spring cleaning and I decided I had too much stock hanging about... time for a change!!! So almost everything in my shop has been reduced.

 Gocco Prints are all half price, as are lavender bags, Notebooks are now just a fiver and bags and brooches have 20% off... all prices are already reduced so you don't have to enter any coupon codes just add to cart and pay... maybe stock up on gifts for the year... start you christmas shopping super early!

Sale will continue until the 10th of Feb... so grab it while you can *:D Visit Inkmeup to bag a bargain today
