Hi, welcome to ANDiE & Pearl.
Let me introduce myself & tell you about A&P.
I am a wife, a Mum & Nana of 4 & I've always loved to craft & create things. Drawing, colouring, crossstitch, crafting with my kids, card making etc then a few years back I discovered Olifantjie (Oli) mdf craft kits. With Oli's fun designs & the encouragement from the lady behind the brand -Helen Harris, my confidence & painting ability grew.
Im no great artist by any means but I have fun & have come a long way from those early days.
In finding Oli I also found a very dear friend in Helen. Her support & encouragement gave me confidence. This has lead me to make sample pieces, do live painting demos in the Oli facebook group & then to draw & illustrate Oli designs that are available on the website. Now that is a buzz seeing customers finished pieces using the designs I created.

So this brings me to how ANDiE & Pearl was born. I have said so many times I would love to see Oli designs on clothing & cushions etc. And thats what ANDiE & Pearl is bringing you. With the full support of Helen, ANDiE & Pearl will be bringing you not only my Oli designs but also Helens Olifantjie designs on t-shirts, sweatshirts etc for all ages. So not only can you create yourself some unique handmade decor you can have coordinating clothing etc too.

I know this is a long read but without Helen & Oli I could not & would not be on this new adventure. My logo just had to have an orange heart to represent & reference Olifantjie. Olifantjies logo is a cute little orange elephant.

Now to tell you about the name ANDie & Pearl - I wanted a name that meant something to me. My first thought was to use the grandkids name's but that didnt work. So then thought of 2 incredibly amazing ladies, my Nanna & Nanny. My Nanna Edna is ANDiE in reverse with a little i added & Pearl was my Nannys name. I think they go lovely together & means alot to me.
I hope you like what I have to offer, do check back regularly as designs will be added frequently.
Thank you for reading & welcome to
