FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GIFT- oh the places we've been!

This is an A3 commission I was asked to do by my lovely Step Dad for my Mum to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

They had a rather fabulous year, managing to clock up a pretty long list of lovely places visited. I was asked to include all of them in one large piece. I am very happy to say I fit them all in, and managed to sneakily put them in order. 

This is one of my favourite commissions, it was challenging, but so fun to do, and I get to see it framed on the wall whenever I visit, I'm sure for many years to come! (Thank goodness it wasn't a house plant, or that poor sod would be long gone :) Love you Mum!)

If you are interested in a commission please don't hesitate to email me at emma@emma-daniels.co.uk

apologies for the massive delay in updating, i had a baby. i'll try not to go on about it, but if you are curious have a look here.

if you would like to discuss a commission, please feel free to email me at emma@emma-daniels.co.uk

hello new...

hello lovely readers

it's been a while, how've you been?

i have been enjoying life with little Max, i am both excited and sad that my maternity leave is nearly over, but it will be nice to enjoy both worlds for the first time.

i will be back to business (part time) on the 7th April, bringing with me some lovely newie-newness!

i am introducing printed greetings cards, and limited prints, so you can enjoy the design without having to get a commission, perfect for those of you who are convinced you will destroy a paper cut by looking at it!

also, over the next few months i will be getting a fancy new website, which i am mega excited about. thanks to Andrew who works over at Creative Intent, my online presence should all make a bit more sense!

i will keep you updated, if you don't already please feel free to follow my Facebook or Twitter page to find out what's happening.


i am currently (during nap times) trying to work my way through the heck load of emails that have piled up. if you are waiting, my apologies, i am hoping most of you have had babies... if not please try; feeding a distracted bird, bathing your cat, constantly entertaining a needy puppy, carrying around a wriggling bowling ball that cries if you put it down, and washing for a football team that play everyday, all whilst trying to appear sane and relatively groomed on 5 hours sleep a night... for seven months :) thank you.
(please don't be put off, it is the best kind of crazy)

peruvian heart paper cut for a special lady...

this is a piece i designed and made for my lovely Step Mum Carla last year for her birthday. it was based on the Peruvian flag, including some things i know she loves, like chillies, candles, oysters, champagne, stars, bows and a heart!

it just so happens her birthday was yesterday (i know i'm a day late, but i have a baby ok?) so HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLA!!! thank you for everything you have done for me over the last year, both Max and I really appreciate you being around.

if you are interested in a commission, please feel free to email me and have a chat. i am currently on maternity leave until March, but can am happy to discuss plans now!

Christmas Exhibition 2012 Ipswich...

hello there 

if you live in Suffolk, or thereabouts, i would like to draw your attention to a lovely christmas exhibition that has recently opened it's doors in Ipswich Town Hall. run by the lovely people at the Suffolk Craft Society, and stocked by many talented crafter/makers, it'll get you right in the mood for christmas, and should help you with your christmas shopping too. it has beautiful but practical items you can use, and lovely things you can display. which is especially useful for those awkward family members that have everything, you know the ones... so why not get them a one off locally handmade piece? and if all this knackers you out, you can take some time to relax in the up-and-coming Snobs coffee cafe, which is right next door to the exhibition, also in the Town Hall.

i was honoured to be asked to design the poster for the exhibition, so here is a closer look at the cut i made for it...

The Suffolk Craft Society Christmas Exhibition 2012 is open from the 3rd November to the 24th of December, Tuesday to Saturday, 10am - 4.45pm, at Gallery 2, Town Hall Galleries, Ipswich. you might as well go have a look...

helter skelter first wedding anniversary paper cut gift...

this was a piece i was commissioned to make by a husband of one year looking to give his new wife a special gift for their first wedding anniversary. he asked to set it in a garden with a fete scene, including sunflowers, roses, large chess pieces and the cartoon vulture that had been featured on their invites and was a bit of a private joke...

special paper cut wedding commission...

hello everybody, happy autumn!

this is an a4 wedding gift i was recently commissioned to make. i was asked to include the couple, their names and the date of the wedding. their friend wanted to give them a special reminder of their day, so we also included the location of the service and the reception...

give your grandparents a paper cut for their 50th wedding anniversary!

i was contacted by a lovely lady who saw the piece i made for my grandparents anniversary and was inspired to do something special for hers. she sent me some lovely photos of her grandparents on their wedding day, and a sweet story of how in one photo the wind blew the brides veil up into the air which they still laugh about to this day!

here is what i came up with...

a thoughtful gift for new God Parents...

this was an a5 piece i was commissioned to cut as a gift to thank some newly appointed God parents from their brand new God son, which is very thoughtful of the little guy!

five year anniversary gift... the city of love

here is a commission i made for a beautiful lady who wanted to give her boyfriend a thoughtful gift for their five year anniversary. it relives their lovely trip to paris, and a favourite poem...

the poem is 'i carry your heart with me' by E.E Cummings.
