Sneak A Peek

Good evening all,

And welcome to another of my blog entries on behalf of Suzanne, So before I get started in the information an update on Suzanne and her back pain.

OUCH

Suzanne is in much less pain today than at any point over the weekend. She has a smile on her face and is currenlty working on limited edition ACEO prints.. I’ll reveal more tommorrow. She sends her love to you all, and is very gratefull for all your words of support and get well wishes.

TODAY
Today i take a look into the dark recesses of Suzanne’s sketch book to share with you a glimpse at some of her work. I hope you will please excuse the watermarks, but its hard enough in this digital world to protect the work without making it easy for them. I hope you can see the wonderful sketches that have led to some stunning pictures and also some wee sneeky peeks at unfinnished sketches and unseen.

SKETCHBOOKS

We shall start with a picture not yet released nor infact seen before… not even by me, I stumbled over it and thought.. “when did you do that one sooz?”

Quite Clearly one for Bath time, it has not title as yet…. may run a competition for that… infact just for fun, add a comment with your suggested titles.. I like “Teddy Eats Too Many Beans”, hence why Suzanne is the artist..

Ok Next is a little unfinnished one, a headless bound girl…sadly its not ever likely to reach its full creation. I’ve seen many a page with poor souls like this all over them, these are the unfinnished ones….

Its fortunate that so many other sketches make it to full realisation, then its onto the computer to paint and colour and make into those prints and tubes you all love.

I did find some other interesting sketches, here for example is the original sketch for “the getaway”, now I must point out in the interest of selling some of these originals, they are available. If you cant find it listed on Etsy, just mail Suzanne and ask.

Most original sketches sell for upwards of $80, we have a lot of these hiding in many of Suzannes Sketch books… heres a little pile of other sketches I found…

I hope to get through some of the other sketch books to reveal yet more of Suzannes work to you..

BOX CANVAS

Now yesterday we told you about selling some Canvas prints through a little local shop called “cupidus” located at 685 Clarkston Rd, Netherlee, Glasgow, G44 3SE. This shop is a lovely little gift shop and sell many hand crafted items and now Gorjuss Canvas Prints, I took some photographs before I delivered them to share with you all.

The Largest one is “Dropped” and is sized at 16″x20″ and is priced at £50,($100), its not on sale in Etsy due to shipping costs etc, but if you desperately want one, just drop Suzanne a mail. The Smaller two are 8″x10″ of “I found my Family in a Book” and “Ruby”. These are available from Suzanne’s Etsy store and are priced around £30($60).

I have to say, the 20×16’s were a little experiment of mine that we happened to really like, anyway… speaking of experiments, Suzanne tried making some pendants today.

PENDANTS

These are still under development, so far today we played with Stirling Silver Plated Snaked Chain, with a Stirling Silver Backed Pendant. Now at the moment there are only two in existance, but we will be able to offer these of any print/picture that fit a round setting.

This one is obviously Daughters, The other one we tried was “Solitary”

As I say we have only these two at the current moment, and we still have another pendant making technique to test. Once I have some samples of those, I shall put some pictures up.

Well thats about it for today, I plan to reveal to you how a gorjuss print is made, and also gorjuss buttons/pins. We have the new Pendants to reveal and some updates on Suzanne and her back. Wow it is actually that exciting around here…..

Please If this blog has raised anything that you wish to ask more about, either add a comment or mail Suzanne or myself directly. We are happy to answer most relevent questions and Im happy to answer anything quite frankly… nothing makes me smile more than a little email bing.. except chain e-mails…. grrrr thats a rant for another day. I also plan to show you how much work goes into a bookmark… and with that in mind… heres the last little picture for todays blog entry..

A gorjuss selection of bookmarks… all available in Suzanne’s Etsy Shop.
