esperi release.

i heart...


esperi.


what feels like many moons ago, i went to a wee gig at the captain's rest & stumbled across a supporting act which had me in a trance with it's stripped back organic-ness, uniquely paired with a smorgasbord of intriguing sounds & random instruments.  it was of course the lovely esperi.

back then i had no idea that Chris Lee-Marr (esperi's main man) would become one of my good friends & make me laugh at the most absurd things, including randomly acquired women's gold watches, paper pterodactyls & a whole heap more.

his latest release is Made For Life/Snowman, released through the wonderful Olive Grove Records & i'm very happy to be involved by making these felt snowman cd covers...

the cd is now available here, there are only 50 of them & are already selling worldwide, so get your ice skates on! 

xox.

snow is falling.

i heart...


the first snow of the season.

growing up mostly in aviemore means that snow is never as exciting as everyone else seems to find it. i always found it bizarre when i lived in glasgow how excited & panicked people would get over only an inch of snow - i'm used to feet of snow & still managing to get about with no hassle! however, i can't help the child-like delight when the first snow of the year arrives. & today was that day...

and that was taken this morning, there's been heaps more since then...almost enough to make a snowman...

which oh so conveniently brings us to some other snowmen i've been making, this time from felt...

(scarf made by halina rifai & alex kenzel) 

believe it or not this felt snowman is a cd cover! it's for the awesome esperi & his release 'Snowman' through Olive Grove Records which is out on the 13th december.

to celebrate the release, Olive Grove Records are having a wee christmas bash on the 22nd december at the 13th note, glasgow. along with esperi, Randolph's Leap & the crazily talented RM Hubbert will be playing. PLUS! i'll have my very own wee stall full of handmade goodies so you can cram in some last minute christmas shopping without having to resort to a box of chocolates & withered flowers from the 24 hour garage. we've got it all covered :)

xox.
