Shop now open!

Howdy folks!

   
       We may have had no Z-list celebrity to cut the ribbon, and no warm white wine to wash down the stale vol-au-vents, but, nonetheless, the shop on www.catbirdcraft.co.uk is now open!

    There will be more items added in the next week or so so keep an eye out. Once those particular shelves are fully stocked, the cat and the bird can begin making some new items that they're especially excited about!! More about that another time.

As the snow begins to fall around the UK, keep warm folks!

My regards to you all,

Frank

Open for Business!!!

Fanfare, please.

Howdy folks,

So it's been a long journey just to get this far; studio moves; ill health; an invasion of zombie badgers, have all been hurdles to navigate. Okay so that last hurdle is a lie but, nonetheless, the Catbird Craft acorn has sprung into life!

The Catbird Craft website is now online at www.catbirdcraft.co.uk

And, the shop is now open for business at  www.etsy.com/shop/catbirdcraft

We hope you will like what you find - there will be more things added in the coming weeks and months so keep checking back!

Thanks again to everyone who has helped us get this far!

My regards to you,

Frank

Our first stock

Howdy folks!

  Frank here! It's time again to report on the latest news from the, increasingly crazy, world of Catbird Craft. So what's new?...You'd better brace yourselves...

   I'm pleased, and somewhat proud, to announce the arrival of our first home-crafted cards. Non identical twins, weighing in at a healthy two grams, three if you include the envelopes. I've been reliably informed (i.e. the cat told me) that the original artworks are the results of mixed media - paint and collage.

   All profits from the blue one, big bird, little cat, will be going to Corvid Aid. It may come as no surprise to you to learn that Corvid Aid is a place which specialises in looking after Corvids in need. We think Belle Crow may have been through their aviary doors at some point.

All profits from the red one, big cat, little bird, will be going to The Celia Hammond Animal Trust, specialists in looking after pets who require veterinary attention or a new home. We suspect that Claude Cat may once have been a resident at their Lewisham branch.

Both organisations are close to the hearts* of all those involved with Catbird Craft. We really wanted to 'give something back', and we thought greetings cards were a better idea than sending Belle and Claude back from whence they came.

Both cards will be available in the Catbird Craft shop when it opens. More info on that to follow.

Right, the excitement is all too much for me so I'm off for a little lie down.

My regards to you all,

Frank
