I have been following John Crane on twitter for some time as I am passionate about wooden toys – I feel that they out perform and out last most modern plastic toys. In fact they are perfect to keep and hand me down to the next generation.
Last week John Crane was offering a limited edition print by Emma Talbot, whom they have just announced as their new illustrator. All new Tidlo toys from John Crane Ltd will feature Emma’s illustrations – so whether it’s a puzzle, a farm or a cuddly plush the magic will shine through.
I jumped at the chance of owning this beautiful illustration of a Panda, not only because my daughter has a Jungle themed room, but my family have worked in fine art for many years and I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating these masterpieces. All I need to do now is get it framed!
Whilst doing my research for this piece, I have discovered Emma on twitter @LittleRabbit and she even has her own blog which I am now following! I am afraid that there are no more Panda limited edition prints available and I am not giving up mine, but she has some gorgeous rabbit illustrations and cards here. I am going to invest in the Valentine’s card – it’s gorgeous!
I cannot wait to see more of Emma’s illustrations on the Tidlo toys, and it gives me the perfect excuse to buy them all!
If you want more information about the wonderful John Crane Ltd then why not follow their blog for news and updates.
Hello! Thank you so much for such a lovely review, it has made my day 🙂
I couldn’t agree with you more- wooden toys beat plastic ones hands down!
Have a great weekend.
My pleasure – we finally have the picture hanging on the wall after some fun and games with the hook!
