Meet the maker Victoria Ashurst

My name is Vicki Ashurst and I started selling my tattoo style handmade cards in Feb 2011.

Sadly my mum died suddenly in 2010 and when I was sorting through her things I found all the cards and paintings I had made for her over the years, she had lovingly saved them all. I realised I had lost touch with that part of myself since becoming a graphic designer for a living as I spend most of my time in front of a computer. I had forgotten how much I loved just putting pencil to paper and being true to my own vision, passion and creating beautiful things.

I dusted off my coloured pencils and vickilicious designs was born. My first job was to design a tattoo in honour of my mum's memory. I wear it on my left arm with pride and the knowledge she is always by my side.
