Yana Lumb is Cilla's bezzy mate and she's classic Corrie character. We need to see more of her! The actress that portrays her, Jayne Bickerton (her married name, you'll also have heard of her as Jayne Tunnicliffe), is an artist, too. She's recently had an exhibition in a gallery in Manchester to show her newest work, Corriecatures! She's done large paintings of coronation street characters, as cariacatures and they're just fabulous! You can see them and buy them on her website, but she also has an eBay store, too. She's selling prints of her works, about 12 x 12 to 12 x 16 inches for $45 US each and she's selling 6 x 8 inch blank greeting cards as well for $7.00 US.Earlier today, i bought four of the cards. I would have loved to have had a print but i couldn't decide on just one! With the cards, at least, you can get several and frame them. They seem to be limited editions and are signed as well. I emailed her to ask if she would send all four together and she replied saying of course, and was planning to put more of her art on ebay and on her website and to keep checking back. I complimented her on her acting and (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!) she did say she probably wouldn't be back on Corrie now that Wendi Peters is leaving, which is pretty much what i figured. (END SPOILER) Too bad, but i guess that's they way the acting ball bounces. These are two of the cards i bought today, the other two portray Roy in front of the cafe menu and Hayley in her red anorak in a prison mug shot style portrait.
Wonderful items to buy for yourself or for a present for your Corrie-aholic friends!
