The launch of my new book, Move Slow & Make Things, is one week away! This is when the nerves start to kick in. I’ve done everything I can to make a beautiful book, and now it’s in the hands of the readers. Of course, I have dreams for this book. I hope it does well and it speaks to the people who need it most.
If you haven’t already, you can preorder the book HERE. Don’t forget to sign up to receive your preorder bonuses HERE.
For this giveaway, I’m so excited to partner with Iron Orchid Designs. I had the opportunity to collaborate with Sally of IOD on a collection of Christmas transfers using my oil painting. In the book, I write about making room for others and making connections. We can create on our own, but I believe our creative work greatly benefits from collaboration and partnering with like-minded artists. Working with Sally on these transfers pushed me as an artist and showed me some possibilities with my work that I hadn’t considered. (I’ll share more about the creation of this collection in a future post.)
To celebrate both the launch of the book and the IOD x Marian Parsons Cotswold Christmas collection, here is what we’re including in the giveaway…
1 Decor Transfer: A Cotswold Christmas
– 8 Pages | 8” x 12” | Full Color | Celebrating the timeless charm of the English countryside at Christmastime, this collection captures classic English farmhouse style, festive wreath traditions, and delightful animals that add charming detail to your projects.
1 Stamp: Winter Grove
– 12” x 12” | Single Sheet with Masks | Inspired by vintage botanical and natural history illustrations, Winter Grove is a beautifully detailed collection of a variety of tree species and the nostalgic “Christmas Evergreens” sign, adapted from a vintage Christmas book.
1 Mould: Belsnickel
– 6” x 10” | Inspired by antique Belsnickel figures, each features a hand-carved, woodcut-inspired texture that comes beautifully to life with glaze techniques, highlighting the beautiful carved detail.
I’ll also send you a signed copy of the book, Move Slow & Make Things.

Oh a match made in heaven for sure, love you both!!
Hi Marian,
I preordered your book today as a tangible way to show support for all of the inspirational, educational and thoughtful content you have shared for many years at no cost to your readers. You have remained true to us during the many shifts and struggles in the climate of Blogging, and even as your time spent painting and writing books is a more lucrative endeavor. I believe I speak for many others when I say we appreciate, respect, and love you for it.
I encourage those that are able,.to preorder a book in support of Marian. I plan to gift my copy. (After I read it of course.)😊
Thank you!
Oh the possibilities! I was just thinking about what kind of Christmas cards to make this year too. 😊🌲
(Rubbing my hands together and clapping because I ordered your book months ago and now I’m getting excited too!!)
I can’t wait to read your book. I just know it will be amazing as everything you do is.This is such a perfect collaboration and so very beautiful!
Ohhh…I love these transfers. And am excited for your book.
