My top ten of business cards and tags from fellow makers . These have been collected over the past five years from visits to Origin, Lustre , New Designers , Newport Collective Art and The Knitting and Stitching Show. From top left , we have Rosemarie Barr - Ceramicist, below her Julie Dodd- Book artist, below her a tag from Urban Outfitters (New York branch), below that a tag from the maker Julia Jowett which had a felt broach on it, below that a tag from Poppy Treffy ( I purchased a purse), top right- Emily Notman- Textile Artist, below her Jo Hill- another textile person, below her Elke Sada- Ceramicist, below her Gale Lewis- Ceramicist and last but not least a tag from Sophie Digard (I bought a necklace ). My number one favourite card would have to be Jo Hill's. this is because of the image of her work alone ! On the back her details are clearly displayed, website, home /business address, phone numbers and name. As a business card it is simple in design but is attractive so made me want to pick it up and keep it. No 2 would be the tag from Urban Outfitters, it looks retro but right on trend, I love the string and pin. No 3, Julia Jowett's because it is great quality card and a type written font, also retro. No 4 , Sophie Digard- a copy of her water colour painting that clearly shows her inspiration for her work , i.e. textiles from 18th Century Paris. No 5, Elke Sada, this has a great, clear image of her work. No 6, Poppy Treffy, I love the bit of pink ribbon. No 7, Emily Notman, I love the detail is shows of her work. No 8, Gale Lewis - great font and clearly shows who and what she is. No 9, Rosemarie Barr, a bit brown in tone but again I love the white background. No 10, Julie Dodd, her work is clever but her business card is too dull. Again too much brown and card itself not printed on good quality card.
