Clippies. Instead of using a washing peg to close your coffee and cereal packets you can put on a cute animal clip. This was a project I started last year.. In addition to painting and illustrating cards, i love making gifts, especially unique, handmade and quirky gifts. And these tick all those boxes!
At first I was cutting the clippies by hand. With a hacksaw and a dremel - It was terribly difficult. I soon realized - Woodwork is not my calling! π¬
So now i leave the wood cutting part to the professionals, and I just design and paint them. So much better π

A few gratitude notes:
So thankful for my dear mom.
I courier a box full of unpainted clippie shapes to her, she seals them, paints the sides sends them back to me. ( I wish we could be in the same room and do this together over endless cups of tea! β€ )
So thankful to my Heavenly Father who opens all these different way for me to use the gifts He has given me and that I can do art full time. It often takes various forms (every day can look so different) It is such a joy π Thank You Jesus.
Thank you to my husband for your amazing support and patience in the moments when our home looks like a factory and I hug you while I'm covered in paint!
Each one of these clippies are handmade with love. I hope it will bring joy to a lot of people, giving and receiving them.
Its been so cool randomly hearing someone saying, "OH! You make them!? I was gifted a sunbird one for Christmas!"
I know a lot of you love your dogs and cats. Or you are bird lovers like me. There's something for everyone!
We are currently preparing these, and other fun and exciting products. Keep an eye out for them at your local Festive markets at the end of the year. π
Sorry I don't update you with studio news more often. My hands are regularly full of paint and that and typing doesn't always go well together! π
I'm sure you understand!
Sending lots of love to all of you from the Curious Creations studio β€
