An emotional world of little girls. That is the Black Apple's work. Her wide eyed, round faced characters each have their own sad, mischievous expression. She has a parade of animals making guest appearances in many pieces as well as a cute assortment of hedgehog paintings. Something so cute can't be all good.

The Black apple paints her world on canvas and wood and sews armies of little sweeties that sell out almost immediately on days she updates the shop. There are plenty of prints, postcards and pins to go around but those elusive originals and dolls are almost impossible to come by. If you want an original Black Apple (Emily Martin) stop by her blog and find out what she will be selling and when and be ready to pounce on your choice before someone else does.
