> Big Ben... and fans!

Thanks very much to Saadia who recently bought a Big Ben from us and said "it takes pride of place in our home.  We love it"Pictured next to it are her two daughters who also sent us suggestions for more wall clock designs!

Look out for our white and gold versions available on Monday 4 April.

> mural of the moment!

Our "Fluoro Dragonflies" wallcovering mural is very popular at the moment... great for banishing the Winter blues and welcoming in the Spring with bright happy colours!

> teaching a school art class

We've just come back from teaching an art class at our daughters school. The infants are studying the Amazonian Rainforest and we were invited to work with them to create a suitably jungly scene. Lots of sticking, cutting, gluing and painting... lots and lots of mess but loads of fun. Children are so completely amazing, and it always inspires me to see the creativity in their drawings - some fabulous results.

Assembling it next week and will post the results!

> printing onto fabulous 'new' mural paper

We are always searching the market for better materials to use with our designs and we have found the most incredible new wallpaper to print our mural wallcoverings onto.  The wallpaper is a mixture of paper and cotton material with a very fine texture - the ink prints onto it beautifully.  The result is a fabulous, super high-end finish and easy to install (paste the wall)!  We are absolutely thrilled with it and will be using it for all our murals from today.

We are also offering a free sample service - order an A4 sample of your chosen design from our webhop so you can see how fabulous the print and finish is.

And finally... all our murals will now be shipped FREE of charge to all UK addresses.

Happy ordering!
