Charity Auction

I have just finished a picture that I am donating to a charity auction for the Norwich and Norfolk Blind association. It is one of the carousel drawings from my degree work, it makes me miss uni a little bit.

More patterns

Here is another paisley inspired design, a nice simple one in different colour ways,

MUGS!!

My mugs are now available to buy from Graduate Collection, so head over to their website to have a little look, there is lots of other lovely products from other new designers as well.

Valentines at Rifle Paper

I am a huge fan of anything Rifle produces, and their valentines cards are no exception. I especially like the fox one, it's just sooooo lovely. See their website for all the lovely things they do!

Katy Leigh

Have just come across the lovely ceramics of illustrator Katy Leigh. She has some really beautiful pieces, check them out on her website

Pattern

It feels like ages since I've produced any new designs, but I've been playing with paisleys again, and am enjoying black backgrounds, I think it really makes the colour stand out. Here is a new pattern in some different colours, would love to know what people think .....

Amazing Shoes!!!

These shoes are absolutely amazing, they are designed by Kobi Levi, check out his blog. I think I want the mallard ones most!

New Years Resolution 2 - More Printing!!

So my second new years resolution is to do lots more screen printing and lino printing, as last year I hardly did any. I've been inducted at the local print studio so I have now excuses not to, here are some lovely examples of hand printing!

Firstly I have a range of mugs created for graduate collection being launched at Top draw this coming weekend 15th Jan -17th Jan, so pop along if your in the neighborhood.

And Secondly I have another range of mugs designed for Loveramics being launched at Maison et Objet from the 20th - 24th January in Paris, which is all pretty exciting I just hope people like them.

Unfortunately the mugs aren't on the companies websites yet but when they are I shall let you know.

Valentines

Here is a valentines design I created for the Tigerprint competition 'what is love?'. I've done it in two colour ways, I think I prefer the yellow and pink one.

New Year Resolution 1 - Learn to crochet!

I'm a bit late on the New Year Resolutions as it's already the 9th January, but here's my first one any way. Learn to crochet, I have always loved crochet and have found some needles in the bottom of a draw so I think it's about time I gave it a go. Below are some lovely projects I have seen on other blogs,

Nate Williams

I know that I have probably come across Nate Williams before but today I stumbled across his lovely website. Which is full of gorgeous illustrations and patterns in really lovely colours. It is all so wonderful but I picked a few of my favourites for you here, but head over to his website to have a proper look.

This is definitely how I feel about this year! This image is from Jared Andrew Schorr, check out his amazing website!!

Hello and Happy New Year!!!!

Hello, I have been away for nearly all of December, not actually away unfortunately, but over the christmas period waitressing becomes a full time job rather than a part-time one. So I have neglected my designing and blogging, but it is a New Year and my one big resolution is that I will not be waitressing next christmas!!! and hopefully be designing full time!!
So for my first blog of the year here are a few things that a couple of my friends are doing. First My friend Jess who I have blogged about before has a range of Iphone covers available with Labc



These are just a few of my favourites, but head over to jess's website to see what other lovely things she does.
