Embers and Ink has now partnered with Ecologi to help fight the climate crisis! For a long time I've been looking for new and improved ways to make Embers and Ink's imapct on the world a more positive one. As you know, for a while I have been plastic-free as a business. But I wanted to do more! Then I found Ecologi! Ecologi are an environmental organisation that funds projects to help individuals and businesses become climate positive. They facilitate the funding of carbon offset projects and tree planting around the world, and their mission is to remove 50% of global CO2 emissions by 2040 and plant billions of trees each year.

I’ve wanted to make pin badges for such a long time, but being an eco-conscious business I assumed that they would be something I couldn’t take part in. So when I found a U.K. manufacturer that makes wooden badges out of sustainable birch plywood, using up to 24% less energy to produce than enamel pin badges, I whooped with joy! These debut designs are based around an old character I used in a Lino cut print ages ago: I’ve cleaned it up and made it into this super cutie rootie vegetable badge, with an accompanying leaf-shaped badge containing the words ‘Powered by Plants’. The design is close to my heart because not only is my business powered by plants, but I...
The UK Govenrnment is passing a Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill that will restrict your right to protest.
They are attacking our civil rights and are relying on our apathy to let this slip by.
Your opinions are important, and your right to protest against decisions made against your life are enshrined in the Human Rights Act.
I'll keep this short, but please: if you value your own opinion and the right for your own voice to be heard please consider signing this petition to protect your freedom to protest:

Mother's Day is due to hit the UK on the 14th March 2021, so get ready! It's been a tough year for everyone, and especially those who haven't seen their mums in the flesh at all. I've only seen mine once this year, and that was outside at a distance of 2 meters. No hugs! So it's the perfect time to send something special through the post. Cards: If you're looking for something traditional, then look no further than my watercolour birds cards. They're beautiful, pretty and classy, just like mum! They're blank inside too, so you can go to town with your message. After all, you haven't seen her in a while! But if you're looking for something with...
