Art print shop now open!

It has taken a year to get these prints online, but finally here they are. Fifteen variations of all sorts of teapots in colours that can either make you grin or cringe. I’m proud yet anxious how these will fare.*

These prints would make a lovely Christmas present for someone who likes 1) tea, 2) bright colours, 3) supporting charities, 4) helping to raise funds for my Clipper Round the World Yacht Race 11-12 participation fee. The fourth point is least important though, as it is gazillion times more valuable to promote mental health care work and nature conservation projects through various means before and during the race campaign.

About the prints

Measurements:
Image area: 17 x 17 cm (6.69 inch)
Paper size: 21 x 21 cm (8.26 inch)
2 cm border around the image.
The image is printed on A4 size paper and trimmed to square.

Digital composition made of scanned fabrics.

Prints are professionally printed on acid free 100% cotton rag paper using giclée technique. They are printed with Epson Ultrachrome pigment inks, which are close to the top of the life expectancy range. Basically, if you take care of your prints, they’ll look bright and fresh long after you and I have faded away!

20% of the sales profit will be donated to Mental Health Foundation, which is a charity based in United Kingdom. Mental Health Foundation helps people survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems. My Twin Peak Challenge earlier this year raised £315, so this is another way of supporting their work for benefit of those who cannot fend for themselves.

*Also I am wondering how I am going to manage shopkeepers duties whilst racing and training intensively until Christmas. Presumably by multitasking, as usual.

Costs are a very practical obstacle before an idea can become reality.

Sailing around the world is going to cost a lot of money, so it is essential to start fundraising as soon as possible. The clipper race will start in autumn 2011, but the training and equipment costs need to be covered as they happen.

Summer holidays were very creative and productive time, as I started drafting ideas for art prints to sell in my Etsy Shop. Read more
