Two Jans Eco-print Greetings Cards

 

In celebration of our recent successes in refining the miraculous process of eco-printing onto fabric and paper, the Two Jans - Jan Kilpatrick and Jan Breckenridge - are launching a range of unique, high-quality, eco-print greetings cards,using entirely natural methods and materials.

 

They are available to buy through my on-line shop, at my studio during Open Studio days and at Ceard in Ullapool.  Why not nurture a love of nature by sending someone you love one of these distinctive cards?  Visit the Card Shop to see them for yourself.

 

 

 

Night Owl - New Textile Wall-hanging

 

 

Owls are rare in this corner of Assynt, but recently we discovered a Barn Owl roosting in a nearby ruin.  It flew out of an open door, brushing the top of Brian’s head in its effort to fly away.  We were astonished by its beauty and its size.  And on a winter holiday in The Borders, every morning we watched another Barn Owl hunt along the shores of the river Tweed.

And so it was inevitable that I would end up making some work featuring this magnificent bird.  All of the fabric in this panel is marked using eco-printing and rust printing, the rust being particularly effective in making the feather marks on the wings.

I am pleased with it, so it is on its way into Ceard, Ullapool, for sale.  But I feel there is more Barn Owl work to do, so I have already started another panel on the same theme.  Watch this space!

Online Card Shop

 

It has been a long time coming but, at long last, I have created a range of greetings cards based on some of my more popular stitched works.  At the moment, there are collections based on the mountains of Assynt, the little croft designs, the more abstract landscape interpretations of the Ardmair area and a couple of designs suitable for use as Christmas or Winter Solstice cards.  Of course, they are all blank inside, so you can use them for any occasion you wish!  Visit the Card Shop to see them for yourself.

 

 

Online Textile Shop

 

This might also be a good time to tell you about the new on-line Textile Shop. I have a few large stitched wall-hangings that are looking for a new home, so I have listed them for sale, some of them at a much-reduced price.  They all come ready to hang and the price included postage and packaging.
