💭 What wonderful feedback from the bride, who chose a 'You Tree' to gift to her new hubby on their Big Day! 💖 Awwww 😊

[Joanna Greenwood @YewTreeTales]

💬💖 Lots of sales and such heartwarming feedback already rolling in for ‘Prickly Pals in Peril!’

🚑🦔 That means lots of awareness spread of the plight of real-life hedgehogs and how we can all help in our communities to save them from extinction! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much to @IoloWilliams2 for these kind words about ‘Prickly Pals in Peril!’ 📙🦔

Tracy Pierce from @HHPrestatyn (for whom I created the book) had in fact sent it out without me knowing, but I’m hugely grateful for the surprise feedback! ☺️

⚔️🛡👑🦔 The hottest Character Gift Mugs design off the press is a commemorative creation ..

💂🏼‍♀️🇬🇧 Majestic ‘HRH (Her Royal Hog) Hedgehog’ was adapted from my previous ‘Queen of Hogs’ design, as a celebration of the upcoming Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Hopefully I did them both justice (including the height difference she’d alerted me to from the start) .. I chose to add the map as a symbol of planning a new journey together .. 🗺

Wishing them every happiness for their future adventures .. 🥂🍾🌹

✏️ Honoured to design the image for wedding “Save the Date” cards for a friend ..

🏔🥾 She specifically asked if I could create herself & fiancé in my usual ‘You Tree’ characters style- holding hands & perhaps hiking .. replicating a special sunrise in Snowdonia as the ideal ..

[Joanna Greenwood @YewTreeTales]

☕️🐶 Welcoming handsome ‘Rottweiler’ to the pack who, as a result of a custom order, has joined the Dog Character Gift Mugs range ..

✏️💥 A new design, featuring perhaps the cutest BFFs from my storybooks, Hedgehog and Mouse! 🦔🐭

This one really makes me smile! I’m proud of it too, as my first proper attempt at fancy writing for its slogan .. took aaaages to neaten up the text! 🙈

✏️🐶 A custom drawing of a Border Terrier to feature on a surprise Gift Mug, based on a photo for markings.

The requested cutie pooch is the customer’s close friend’s special fur-baby, so I gave it a go ..
