Wonderful Things is a digital studio set up by UK-based artist and heritage professional, Natalie Watson, dedicated to creating highly accurate reproductions of ancient Egyptian artwork with a contemporary feel.

Over 100 masterpieces of ancient artwork are available to purchase from www.wonderfulthingsart.com as fine art prints in a variety of sizes and formats, greeting cards, postcards, posters, mugs and homeware.

“Each piece of art is created digitally using detailed photographs and drawings of the original artwork to ensure they are as authentic as possible. I do extensive research into the history of the piece before I start, deciphering the symbolism and, where possible, translating the hieroglyphs and reconstructing missing elements.

You can browse my current available prints and follow the links to purchase them via my Etsy shop, Wonderful Things Art. My website has articles with more in-depth information about the history behind my artwork and hosts time-lapse films showing how each piece of artwork is created.

If you would like me to reproduce your own favourite piece of artwork, or customise existing items in my collection, please get in touch! I also offer a research, digitisation and illustration service to create one-off commissions and bespoke content in the ancient Egyptian style.”

Greeting Cards

WTA greeting cards are an affordable alternative to our giclée prints. These are printed on 100% recycled matt FSC® certified paper and come in two sizes, A5 and 150mm square. All our cards come pre-creased and include cello bags and high-quality white envelopes. The inside is left blank, and the back cover features a description of the original artwork. WTA greeting cards are printed by Pennybatch Gallery, a local family-run business established in 1992 in Wells, Somerset. They can be described as the quintessential ‘cottage industry’ business, operating completely from their country cottage.
