I mentioned in my last blog post, about my goals for the year, that I’m keen to develop a product range featuring my own illustrations. I’ve been doing a lot of sketches and doodles the past week and have finally settled on some characters that I’m happy with! Here’s a few first drafts…
But the thing is, I’m not sure what to turn them into. This is where I want your advice!
What range of items would you most like to see added to Goodnight Boutique’s virtual – and physical – shelves? I’m happy – and continually adding to – my range of jewellery, but I’d like to expand my range of accessories and homeware. So…
What type of product would appeal to you the most? What would catch your eye? What would you be most likely to purchase?
Mugs, plates, coasters… Kitchenware.
or
Notebooks, pencils, planners… Stationery.
or
T-Shirts, Jumpers, Pocket Mirrors… Fashion.
It’d be really helpful if you could let me know in the comments below! I’d really appreciate it! I might start a poll on Facebook too.
Head over to the first Handmade Monday of 2013 for lots more crafty blogs and posts!
Your designs would look lovely on notebooks and pads. Or how about decorative tiles? You know the ones you hang on the wall rather than stick on the wall?
Thanks for the ideas – I’m going to have a difficult time choosing
Love the fox & the cat, I think they would look great on stationary too ! They would look great on a mug as well . Well done – you’re very talented!

Thank you! I love drawing animals, definitely my favourite thing to paint
I can see your designs looking fab on all kinds of stationary, especially the fox and cat – great images! x
Thanks – I do love that cat! He just turned out really cheeky
These are lovely images – how about lists – the sort that you hang on walls (not very clear I’m sorry.) Good luck, I am looking forward to see what you decide on.
Thanks – I hope you like whatever I end up picking!
I am sure I will – the sketches are lovely.
I would love the fox as a small necklace pendant. Now that’s something you don’t see everyday and it could be very eye-catching!
I really like the fox and cat. I like your idea of pocket mirrors. They’d be so much prettier to get out of a bag than a standard compact.

Thanks – pocket mirrors would be fun to make
I particularly like the cat – the simplicity really works. I’m not much help with ideas for on what though as I can see it appearing on almost anything! Stationery seems a good idea as that gets used up and may need a repeat buy!!
Thank you! I’ve drawn lots of little cat friends to go with him
Well, the fox caught my eye. My son and his wife are big fans of foxes and they love things with foxes for their new son (9 months old now). It’s a little difficult to find foxes (not impossible but they are not as common as elephants etc). Your’s is very nice! So…. I seriously would buy something with that fox or a similar one on it that would suitable for a little boy. A mug and plate (or bowl?) might be really cute (I live in the US so is that an issue?) Listen to me, I’m such a Grandma….
Oooh, interesting
I love foxes too but I guess you don’t see many things with them on! I’ll definitely keep you posted on what I choose to use the images on!
Hmmm….so hard, isn’t it? I guess stationery is a good starting point, then kitchenware. Then world domination….! Good luck with choosing
