10" Picture Canvases back in stock mid January 2012

It has been a little crazy in the Lizajdesign studio preparing orders for Christmas, not just for gifts but for new nursery rooms being created for newborns due around this time of year! Recently Lizajdesign had several orders for size 10" canvases (some pictured in working progress above). All the orders have been fulfilled for the Pre-Christmas deliveries but new stock of blank canvases in the 10" size will not arrive until mid January 2012, so they have temporarily gone out of stock on the websites.

Pictured are some of the canvases in the Jungle Pastel and Farm Original designs.

If you are interested in the 10" canvases please feel free to email lizajdesign@me.com before mid January to express your interest, so not to miss out!
For your information 12", 8" are still currently available and a new 6" size limited stock will be launched very soon...

Pony Design on lemon - Jungle on turquoise

 

I had some lovely orders to dispatch the other day and I'd thought I would share them (in a spare five minutes of Christmas madness)! Shown is the Jungle Original Name Canvas on a turquoise background and the new Pony Prints on a lemon and on a lilac background.

 

The Pony Print Personalised is available on eight different background colours and can be personalised with a name of your choice. As standard is comes supplied as the picture here shows secured in a white core mount and backboard packaged in a cello bag; optional frame choices are available.

The Jungle Original Name Canvas is available on three different background colour options and can be personalised with a name up to 7 letters (medium size) and up to 9 letters (large size).

All items come gift wrapped in orange tissue paper as standard, orders over £30.00 have free mainland UK delivery and orders under £30.00 for the month of November P&P has been reduced to £1.45 (normally £2.45).

Don't forget hand painted products need to be ordered by Monday 5th December for Christmas delivery!

New Pony Design

  It's been a busy month designing a new collection now titled "Pony". I was recently asked to do a commission for a daughter's bedroom to include one larger hand painted canvas of her favourite pony "Dave" and two smaller canvases of different colour ponies to complement the larger one. Above is a photograph of the three canvases amongst some other orders I had just completed on that day. The Jungle Original Picture Canvases are still proving popular as well as the Jungle Original Name Plaque which is an ideal Christmas gift priced at £32.00, shown here with the new Personalised gift notes priced at £2.00 to add that special touch for a truly original gift.

 The Pony Portrait was created by using a photograph supplied by the customer. Only the head of the pony is used so a good head shot on the side is recommended when providing an image of you favourite pony.

Pony Portrait Canvas Personalised

The Pony Picture Canvases have a choice of background colour and can be personalised with a name, how about the pony's name?
There is a choice of a dark chestnut pony or a light tan pony.

Lizajdesign in the local newspaper today!

Lizajdesign has today been featured in my local newspaper, after it's Twitter success, as chosen by Theo Pathitis 'Small Business Sunday'. The article features a little bit 'about me' and how Lizajdesign originated!

As chosen by Theo Paphitis

Last night I was extremely pleased to discover Lizajdesign has been selected by Theo Paphitis as one of the winners for his #sbs competition held on a Sunday evening!

#sbs stands for Small Business Sunday where small businesses tweet their business between the hours of 5pm to 7.30pm on a Sunday through Twitter. Theo Paphitis then selects (looking through hundreds of entries) and retweets his favourite six. Here is the retweet:

Supporting Riot Raffle

I have just updated my website to include the badge that Lizajdesign is supporting Riot Raffle.

What is Riot Raffle?

Riot Raffle was set up by the lovely Zoe Grant http://twitter.com/#!/zoeanddrew after watching the riots that devastated our capitals on Monday 8th August, Zoe blogged "Feeling helpless as I do not live close enough to pop along and help and realising I wasn’t the only person feeling this way I had an idea of a raffle" (quote http://www.riotraffle.org/about/ ).

After much help with setting up a website and a logo Zoe created Riot Raffle "Riot Raffle is about a creative community coming together to support other independent businesses in a time of crisis. Today we have over 80 independent businesses donating prizes for Riot Raffle" (quote http://www.riotraffle.org/about/ ).

Riot Raffle is such a good cause and it's in association with Retail Trust which looks after the people in retail, those business that were damaged and destroyed by the Riots.

Lizajdesign has donated the Jungle Monkey Personalised Print (more details can be found on my website click here. I chose to donate this prize as it is a universal personalised print that would be suitable for a boy or girl in the popular cheeky monkey design!
