The Artful Fox

Trial and error is a huge part of the process. Don't forget you're only seeing the finished, insta worthy version of everyone's work on social media 😅 There's usually a page full of colour swatches, wonky brush strokes and failed ideas before the final piece comes together.

One of my favourite, and simplest watercolour tips is to keep a scrap sheet next to you while you paint. Test colours and opacity, and try out little details and ideas before they go anywhere near your final piece. It might not look pretty, but it saves a lot of heartache!!

When small businesses cheer each other on 🫶

I met up with Tyler from .books the other day, and it was SO lush to meet one of my TikTok buddies in real life ❤️

In some very exciting news, we're doing a little IRL collab! This year I'll be stocking Tyler's beautiful whimsical colouring books on my market stalls! 🍄

We figured our little businesses complement each other really well (especially once my alcohol marker range is ready) so why not support each other by swapping products for our markets and events?

If you don't know Tyler already, she's a UK-based colouring book creator and an all-round wonderful human. Even better, £1.50 from every colouring book sale goes to charity, which I think is pretty blooming lovely ❤️ Pop over and give her a follow if you haven't already. Better yet, show a fellow small business some love with a like, comment or even a book purchase.

And if you're coming along to Glossop Heritage Weekend this weekend, make sure you come and say hello! I'll be there all weekend with plenty of colouring and crafting goodies ready for you to have a rummage through 🦊✨

I'm so happy to big up other businesses and accounts on here - There is room for us all to be happy and successful - so let's straighten each other's crowns and lift each other up ❤️🫶 Go team!

If you’re heading down to the parade, markets or live music, come say hello 🫶 Supporting a local small business whilst having a lovely day out? It'd be rude not to!

May have rebranded my entire business for a tiny fox 👀

You might have noticed this little guy popping up more and more recently across my little art and crafts TikTok Shop 🦊 I’ve been working super hard behind the scenes, giving The Artful Fox brand a bit of a glow up to coincide with my alcohol markers launch 🤩

I wanted something that still felt colourful and fun, but more refined and in line with my little business - and I'm super happy with the outcome so far, especially as I've done it all myself 🥰

There will be a bit of a mix of old and new branding for a little while whilst I work through existing stock and start introducing new stuff... turns out designing new packaging for an entire shop is pretty time consuming 😅 and also while I try and remember to update the old branding across every platform it's on 🫠

But yes … consider this your official introduction to a new era of The Artful Fox 🫶 Thank you so much for supporting small ❤️
