Card Designs

I want to prepare myself for Summer...
I have plans to make cards/hand made gifts and pretty things to sell- I know of more shops back home than up North, but I'm also looking at locations around Leeds and Yorkshire... Hepton Bridge, which is just outside of Leeds is a prime example. Discovered this after Steph mentioned she visited one of the galleries and thought of me when she saw some of the work for sale there.
I want to go over next week, and will pop into the Heart Gallery and ask if they would be interested in selling any of my work, or if they know anywhere that might sell it. They seem like a good place to start, as they describe themselves as, 'a unique contemporary jewellery and craft gallery featuring an eclectic mix of ever-changing work by around ninety emerging and established designers and makers, with quality and originality guaranteed.'
There's some really lovely stuff on their blog as well, take a look! http://heartgalleryblog.wordpress.com/

Friend from back home, works at Narborough Hall, possibly mentioned it on here last year when doing my Major Project. I wasn't confident enough to go in and ask about my work to be sold there, but definitely feeling it now. There's some absolutely adorable, cute and incredible hand made things to be found here, full of wedding, new home, new baby and general gifts and nifty things in here.

I want to start building up something I could work on and run as a part time thing in the back ground, something that I can be proud that I'm designing, making and can call my own. The more I think about it, the more excited I get, so I really want to get cracking on it and sell sell sell! It would be really useful if I can access the print rooms at college or Vernon Street, then I could pop back up to Leeds for a few days and bang out some printed things,
A couple of ideas sketched out so far.....

But first off, need to wrap up this project though and get my animations underway.
