More about tinkl ILLUSTRATION

Discover Earth-conscious art and crystal jewellery handcrafted by me, Katharina Tinkl, in the UK from carefully selected materials. At tinkl ILLUSTRATION, you'll find lovingly made necklaces and bracelets, eco-friendly art prints and greeting cards as well as custom artwork. Are you looking for a perfect gift for a loved one? Then, have a little browse in my shop.

Being a vegan myself, offering vegan-friendly products is, obviously, very important to me. Guaranteeing that all your materials are vegan-friendly can be tricky sometimes, though, as animal-derived components can hide in places where you wouldn’t expect them. Veganism is a journey, and I am still learning more every day.

Please head over to my website (https://tinklillustration-shop.com/pages/ethics-and-sustainability) for a full overview of my products and their levels of vegan-friendliness. Where the answer is not the resounding “YES” I’d like it to be yet, please rest assured that I am constantly working on finding alternatives to make all my products as Earth-conscious as possible.

Promotion

Please head over to my website to sign up for my newsletter, which I'll be sending out about once a month to give you a little update on what I've been up to.
