Website changes – eek!

So, my website is currently looking very rubbish at the moment – I am aware of this!

But do please bear with me as it will be looking all shiny and new very soon.

Hopefully by the weekend- fingers crossed.

I also want to make my post more personal. I am at the beginning of a great adventure and i want to share  with you my thoughts, fears and achievement as well as hear all about yours.

I recently attended a wonderful, children book publishing information event with a really fab publishing house. It was a brilliant day and really got me thinking about where i am heading, where i want to go and how i will get there. So i have come up with a cunning plan of action, lets see where it takes me!

Once my site is looking all lovely again, i shall be in touch. Ta tar for now x

The Grand Store Opening #Oglinstakeover

Yes we have got there, we have done it, the big day has come.

Its been a very testing, busy and exciting week, but above all its been worth it to get to where we are now – this day right here.

Take a look at the  Charlotte Dyton Illustration shop here; http://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CharlotteDyton

We have a huge range of Oglin goodies, from greetings cards to note books to limited edition prints, so that you too can take home a little bit of Oglin Magic.

 

All tucked up beneath snuggley blankets, listening to the gentle sigh of the sea, with your feet buried deep , in soft warm golden sands – Sounds serene, no wonder Bobin has fallen asleep.

One of my personal favourite’s.
See the little Oglins watch them bounce bounce bounce.
This cant help but make you smile.

Such a tense game, no matter how slowly you try to pull the plastic rods out, the clatter of the marbles falling to the bottom still puts me on edge. Bobin looks more worried than Moe.

Lots of Lovely Oglins – Note book – perfect for making list’s – I love making lists.

This has to be my favourite print from the limited edition collection. Eedy is busy picking delicious ruby red strawberries and playing with her very sweet little toy farm.

A huge thank you to all who have supported this project and kept me going when times have felt lets say a little bleak – I really couldn’t have done any of this with out that extra push in the right direction – thank you xx

#Oglinstakeover 1 more day to go

Is this the calm before the storm?

I’m not sure but everything seems very eerily calm at the moment here at Oglin HQ.  Well I wont tempt fate – Here’s what we have been up to thus far.

Home sweet Home – The Oglins live somewhere between here and there and near no where in particular, theirs is a happy little home filled with fun and adventure.

A pretty little card to let someone know how much you appreciate them. Think I will need to send out a few of these once we are all up and running.

‘Bipin can you hear me’, calls Bobin from 3 feet away. This illustration has become a firm favourite

Moe and her umbrella. Sometimes in life it just rains and rains, but Moe is on hand to cheer you up and keep you sheltered from any wet weather.

 

 

A very special limited addition print. I love Gurties t- shirt, wish I had one too.
Just one last print to show you tomorrow!                                                                                                                                                                

Look out for my final installment tomorrow when my shop will be up and running – yipee!

2 More Days eek! #Oglinstakeover

Hello, things have settled down a bit now at Oglins HQ as we get to grips more and more everyday with the setting up of the Etsy shop. We been busy adding the ‘General/Any Occasion Range’ – here is a flavour of whats on offer!

A lovely card for a lovely cook or baker.
Here are all the things needed to make the best cake ever.

Another popular print, the Oglins are enjoying a Milkshake at there favourite shake bar ‘Milky & Me’.

Just in case you didn’t know here are the Oglins, these are their names.
This is the perfect family photo.

One of my favourite and most popular prints.
Just looking at it make me want to dash to the nearest sweet shop.

 

Another very special one off print, that will not be made into a card or no book but will only be available as a signed & dated print.                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Back tomorrow with our final update before we open the doors of our Etsy store – Exciting times! x

#Oglinstakeover 3 more days to go

Ahh, things have been a little less stressful today, so much so that we have been able to get some new illustrations done, but more about that later – First let me show you some of the pictures from the delightful ‘At Play’ range.

One of my personal favorite’s.
See the little Oglins watch them bounce bounce bounce.
This illustration cant help but make you smile.

I love this one too – The Marching Band
Bipin looks to be getting really into the Maraca shaking as does Eedy on the trumpet, toot toot.
What a noisy racket they must all be making!

Such a tense game, no matter how slowly you try to pull the plastic rods out, the clatter of the marbles falling to the bottom still puts me on edge. Bobin looks more worried than Moe.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

And now for something a little bit different –

We wanted to create something special, so we designed 4 very fabulous one off prints, they will not be made into cards or note books and will only be available as prints signed and dated.  

Here’s a sneaky peek at one of the prints available.

                                                                               Bipin and Bobin play cars

More updates coming your way tomorrow, yipeee x

#Oglinstakeover day 4

So just 4 more sleeps to go until our big launch, i can safely say that behind the scene’s here at Oglins HQ, its insanely busy.

Here are some of the beautiful photographs from our Etsy shop, ready for the big day!

                                   A super card for anyone who loves all things camper van.
                                        Looks like they’ve packed everything but the kitchen sink

A fun post card to send when its really chucking it down on Bongnor Bay – I wont tell if you don’t.

 

 

All tucked up beneath snuggley blankets, listening to the gentle sigh of the sea, with your feet buried deep in soft warm golden sand – Sounds serene, no wonder Bobin has fallen asleep.                                                                                                      

Even our cello card bags get in on the action – so pretty.

 

                             Yes even the bags get a picture and quite rightly so, they are so pretty!                                                                        

More updates and photos tomorrow as we edge ever closer to opening day! 

The count down is on #Oglinstakeover

Yes ,its only 5 more sleeps until my Etsy shop will open its doors.

Here’s a little peek at whats in store – pardon the pun!

Moe is the sweetest little Oglin I’ve ever met…
and now here’s lots of little Moe’s on the cover of her very own hand bound note book- which can only be a good thing.

 

                                     ‘This walk can take as long as it likes’ said Gurtie..
                                                                    and I quite agree.
                                            Those are the prettiest flowers, I’ve ever seen.

                                                                     Bobin is up to his usual tricks.
                          And by that we mean Magic ones – because we could all do with a little bit magic sometimes.

                                                                   I love a good book – Don’t you?
Bobin certainly does, and when he’s not busy performing magic tricks, you’ll find him busy with a book

 

                                            If its the sweet stuff your after, then you are in luck!
The penny sweet note card will be available to purchase, so you too will be able to send sweet nothings.
