They also look rather lovely. Each sticker is A5 in size (210mm x 148.5mm), so works for envelopes or packets of a decent size. Stickers are self adhesive with a crack back, making them easy to remove. Pack contains: x5 Fluorescent Yellow A5 Labels x5 Fluorescent Orange A5 Labels Supplied packed between two pieces of orange plastic (also rescued from landfill) to keep flat, and bound ready for use, or to gift to a friend. The design carries the words 'waste not want not' : a saying my Irish Granny was very fond of, and I've carried with me over the years. It's good to repair or reuse things, bringing them back to life. These stickers are made from 'rescued' label stock - from a printing firm in Bristol that closed down. The label stock was left over at the time of closure so would have gone to waste. I salvaged them for re-use. © spare.

After a visit to a friend, visiting St Ives, and the wilder headlands and former mining areas nearby, I drew this. Not a representative piece in the traditional sense, but it captures the beauty, tranquility, and rugged windy path I took that day. This item is supplied as a card, blank inside for your message.

This drawing has a geometric influence, a mass of colours and forms clash and knock against each other. I can't really pin down what it is about this interlocking shape that is so satisfying to me, or why I keep returning to it when free drawing, but I do love Hexagons.

This drawing has a look of architecture to me. Usually what I have been researching or studying feeds into my drawings.
