Summer

Well here I am, back in blog-land! The spring has been wonderful but busy as I gave birth to a little boy at the end of February and have been getting to know him and adjusting to our new life together.

But now the summer's here and today I've been photographing some new pieces with a red and orange fierce and fiery theme fitting for the hot June weather we are enjoying here in London at the moment.. all to appear in the Etsy shop over the next week or two.

Photocards

There are now a range of different shape and size photocards available from Hedgewitch, all featuring beautiful original nature photography. On sale in the online shop at the moment are tall thin Dandelion Clock cards...



... but the standard size cards in a range of colours are still available on request and there are now small gift tag sized photocards which are perfect to accompany a little present for a friend or loved one (see a full gallery of available photos here).

Just listed today are cards featuring the irridescent shell photograph you can see in the Hedgewitch winter banner ...



... and a beautiful Rose and Cinnamon pot pourri shot for Valentines Day ...



The fresh green herb cards with accompanying information sheets will be back in the online shop this spring, but meanwhile do contact me if you would like any particular size, colour or design.

Sets of cards for invitations or announcements can be made to order and handwritten lettering can be added beneath the photo or inside any card at no additional cost.

Rowan

The Rowan tree was once widely planted for its supposedly beneficial effect in driving away witches! All parts are astringent and have been used in tanning and producing a black dye. The wood was traditionally used for poles and barrel hoops.

You can find more information about the medicinal uses of Rowan bark and berries in today's article on Earth and Tree.






These decorative pieces were made by taking impressions of rowan leaves in soft clay. They have flattened bases so that they can stand against a bookshelf, mantle-piece or personal altar. For more information about my work, visit the Hedgewitch website or you can purchase a Rowan leaf ornament from the online shop.

Snuggly Knits

Some new snuggly cosy knits arriving at Hedgewitch this week..





.. wrap yourself and your loved ones up warm this winter!

Autumn Photo Gallery

I've added a couple of new photos to the Hedgewitch photo gallery for Autumn. Hope you like them!












They will be appearing soon in the online shop as photocards and bookmarks, but they can also be ordered as A5 and A4 prints mounted in plain untreated wood frames.
