i ♥ my typewriter

here is a new piece i was commissioned to do....i got to base the design around a quote the commission type people gave me, and what better way to showcase a quote than type it on the good old trusty typewriter? I was abit worried about using material in my precious machine but i love the outcome...

Work of royals...

I was recently asked by the lovely Gail of seventyseventyone to exhibit some of my ceramics at the craft shop in the Royal Exchange Theatre, in Manchester.
Here is their blog so you can have a wee nosey at my stuff and the other designs on show.

the return of mr fox

Had a wee minute so decided to get my needle out and do some stitching :)

Wedding Stationary

Thought id post a few photos of the wedding stationary in all its glory!! Im really pleased with how it came out! I designed the Wedding day invitation, the evening invitation and the order of service, which are all slightly different and unique from each other. 
If anyone would like to get invitations designed please feel free to get in touch at hello@rachaelgardiner.com

I designed my friends wedding invitations recently and here is the finished front cover. It tells the story of their relationship through tiny images. I'm really pleased with the way it has come together and i think the future mr and mrs griffith are pleased too. Evening invitation to follow....

This is a piece i was commissioned to do for a lovely couple who just got married last week. It is based upon the poem He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven by W.B.Yeats, which is one of my favourites. This made the piece all the more fun to make, altho it did take ages cutting each individual letter, but i think it was worth it. Hope they like it!
