| The Artful AnglerANGLING IT IS AN ART An ideal angling gift for men. This design may well suit many rural and outdoor based gift shops.
This angler is adding new bait to his hook, no doubt in deep contemplation as to whether he should continue to fish at this spot or try his luck somewhere else along the river. He is regarded by an inquisitive fish.
The design is based on a wood engraving by Thomas Bewick (1753 - 1828), England’s foremost wood engraver. The quote is by Izaak Walton (1593 - 1683), whose famous work ‘The Compleat Angler’ was published in 1653. Dimensions: 9.7cm x 11cm |

| The Shrine of St. ThomasThis design would mainly suit shops which have a connection to Thomas Becket or the Canterbury area.
It is based on a 15th century Pilgrim’s Badge. Cast in lead, these holy emblems or badges were collected by pilgrims much as we would collect souvenirs of a place we have visited. Probably made between 1350 and 1400, the badge shows Thomas Becket’s elaborate shrine in Canterbury Cathedral. It gives the impression of the shrine seen by mediaeval pilgrims - with the domed chest containing the sacred bones, encrusted with jewels. Dimensions: 7.8cm x 10.1cm |

| Welcome Sweet Babe 20102010 A general gift that sells in many different outlets. It is the type of gift that will last long after other welcoming gifts are forgotten.
Storks have been revered in Europe since the middle Ages. Their association with babies originates many centuries ago in legend and lore native to northern Germany. One legend tells us that the souls of unborn children live in watery areas such as marshes, wells, springs and ponds. Since storks often visit these places, they were believed to fetch babies’ souls and deliver them to their parents.
It is based on an 18th century wood engraving of Thomas Bewick set on a background based on early nineteenth century handmade lace. Dimensions: 9.8cm x 9.8cm |
