Beverley Festival is fast approaching ~ probably my biggest show of the year, with three full days of trading; in the past I’ve actually managed to carve some small pieces for the stall in the weeks prior, but not so this year. I’ve been flat out for as long as I can remember, and the lack of new items for this weekend has been playing on my mind. Added to that, I’m running low on certain prints too, so cue palpitations. Anyhow, I had a few hours free last week when waiting for the collection of the Moorlands marker posts, and managed to print a number of “Let the Owd Hare Set” , “Yan, Tan, Tether, Mether, Pip…” and “My Lady Wren”.

The moment of truth
Success
I’m determined to have a new print for the festival; I have “Hoddyman Dod”, which isn’t that new but was cut after the last Beverley Festival (so it’s new-ish), and there is a new t-shirt (the badger, “Ancient Briton”) ~ so another print too will give the regular punters a slightly different view.
