Bovey Tracey tea towels
On a side note, while I've been busy working on the next Adventuremice book, I've ALSO been coming up with a tea towel design for the town where I live and have my studio. It's very locally produced: not only did I create the artwork for it here at Bovey Paradiso (spot me in the window on the towel!) but a chap named Fletcher Naisbett-Jones did the two-colour screenprinting just down the road at Print Stream Studio. (If you look him up on Instagram, you can see him printing five at a time on a rotating flatbed wheel thingie.) Here it is!
Not only was it printed here in Bovey, but our house guests were asking if they could help in the kitchen, and I put them to work doing something MUCH more helpful. (I didn't quite calculate how much ironing and folding there would be to do.)
If you're local, you can pop over to Grace & Favour Home to buy it (and check in with Leslie in the same shop space at First Draft Books, who stock Adventuremice). And they're also selling it at the Bovey Tourist Information centre and at MAKE Southwest craft centre. And if you're further afield and still want one (yes, I know, it's quite niche!), you can buy it online from Grace & Favour Home here on their website.
