The Magic Jelly Shop & Giveaway!

My #1 artist, illustrator and designer idol has long been Karena Colquhoun, also known as Magic Jelly. Yes, you read that right, number one. So to find out that the long awaited  Magic Jelly shop is finally open (and she wants to share her goods on my blog with my readers), I’m not only excited to promote the grand opening, but equally excited to just have her beautiful work featured on my blog!I think one peek at the shop or the Magic Jelly blog and you’ll understand why I am so enamored with it all. Karena, an artist and illustrator living in Semaphore, South Australia, has talent beyond measure. And those of us who have followed her work and blog for any length of time are now dancing around like goofballs singing and chanting: The Magic Jelly Shop is OPEN! The Magic Jelly Shop is OPEN!

I adore Magic Jelly collages and prints. I encourage you to spend some time digging through her blog for photos of them. The Magic Jelly shop is now stocking two of her original pieces from the Magic Circles series.You can purchase beautiful jewellery featuring Magic Jelly art and design.

Even the Magic Jelly packaging is spectacular.

I adore the Memoryland series!
