The scales of justice

I was recently commissioned to create a uniqe art work to be given as a gift to a lawyer.  The brief (as it were)?  To design and produce quirky dictionary page art featuring the famed "scales of justice" that is so often featured at law courts and in other legal settings.

My customer and I ended up selecting a vintage illustration of a set of balance scales, the kind of thing that would have once been used in apothecaries or old-fashioned post offices.  This was then printed onto a dictionary page defining the word "justice", and finished off with a black framing mat.
I love the look of this whimsical but also regal-looking art print, and I hope its new owner will hang it pride of place in their law office!

Launching our bookish Autumn/Winter range for 2020!

Book lovers, I am so excited to launching our much anticipated 2020 Autumn/Winter range for Two Cheeky Monkeys!

I've added two brand new designs to our popular bookworm range - so without further ado, here's a little look.

The first new design is a fun, and on trend, tassel necklace featuring two of our most popular quotes.  Perfect for Jane Austen and Anne of Green Gables fans, please leave me comments of other quotes you would like to see added to the range!

Our second design is a cute set of bookish rings, small but sturdy enough to wear to all your activities.

There are currently four variations to this design - would you like to see more?
