Jac Volbeda still has 2 of the wonderfully evocative Baleshare Sands series available for sale. Numbers IV and V are inspired by daily walks on Baleshare beach in North Uist and would make a great addition to an island lover's home.

Cally Yeatman is another of our incredibly talented artists. Based in Uist, she has a gorgeous range of cards on isle20. They would be ideal for sending a wee lockdown note - and come in mixed packs too!
