and not just boring DIY  :thumbsup:

Thought I'd share them with you, I'm quite pleased with them.
I have plans for a range of cards featuring copies of the originals, though not til I've got some more breeds done  ;) Kune Kune & Berkshire are next  :thumbsup:

What do you think ? Would you buy a card with this on ?

The writting is only there to stop folk pinching them and beating me to it - it won't be on the cards  :D

They are brilliant, talented you,  :thumbsup: would certainly buy, better than very many you see in the shops. Would love to be able to paint to that standard, sadly ot artistic or musical. :(  :wave:

 Hi HappyHippy  :wave: .....they are great ! 

I like the top one best  :trophy: ;D --- are they watercolour?
How do you go about making them into cards  ???- do you do it yourself at home, or pay a professional printing company?

Thanks everybody for your kind comments  :-*  Itlooks like they might be quite popular  :thumbsup:

Tilly,
Despite being a keen crafter I'm going to plump for getting them proffessionally scanned and reproduced onto quality cards - just to make them look a bit posher than I could myself :D

The guy I've been speaking to reckons they'd look good as prints too - but I'm not sure if there would be the same demand for those  ??? What do you reckon ? The selling price for an A4 (mounted) print would be around £18, or unmounted for £15 does that sound too much ?
Looking for input  ;)

I have found this if it helps to give an indication http://folksy.com/items/2478093-Cockerel-fine-art-print but look around on that site as the prices vary greatly to if there is one or two images on the print.

I personally love them and have paid a lot more for some 'farmyard' prints I have in my house.

Thanks for that Rachel  :thumbsup:
I think maybe the guy I've been talking to is a bit expensive for doing the printing  :-\
But I'll have a look around  ;)

I think you have to be honest and put a price on your time and talent. I am a great supporter of buy british and buy handmade.
