New bags this time, not sale bags

I've just been a bit too busy* to fish out more of the "seconds" this week. But I will do as soon as I can. Thanks for all your enthusiasm about those.

Meanwhile here is a "beautiful Vassilisa" at last - I've been wanting to do this one for ages.




By the way I had a conversation with another Etsy seller the other day and she told me our work is WAY under-priced. I am beginning to think this may be true. Although in a recession...? Anyway, we'll keep this introductory price to the end of the month for sure.

If you have any comments about the price I'd love to hear them - I really do wonder if the price implies that the quality is far lower than it actually is (which is what my friend said). And this is NOT fishing for compliments, I'd honestly like some input.




*standard excuse I know but we seem finally to have signed the contract on the GIANT - it's poster-sized - Bohemian Cats Calender so it's a bit mad as now they need it quickly.

Vampuss goes to Russia

It's really a bit late in the evening to be posting, but as Alex's daughter - with us this weekend - is watching videos, and Alex himself is designing what I have come to call "flapsies" (the flaps for the messenger bags) there's an opportunity. I've been meaning to "properly" post this small piece of news for some time.So, Shadow of the Vampuss was picked up by a Russian publisher - we were paid (even if very little) for the license - and they ran 20,000 copies. It's now out and friends keep saying that they see it in bookshops all over. Wooooooowooooo eh?So, here we are in Russian:http://www.labirint-shop.ru/books/157055/ http://books.shop.by/20612.html http://www.qpknigu.ru/showtov.asp?Cat_id=459002I've got to admit it - this gives me a huge buzz. Who would have thought that this would happen?
