Society 6 shop

I've finally got my Society6 shop up and running, just in time for Christmas! I can't wait to buy a few items myself to see them in the flesh! My 6 signature prints are available as art prints, and stretched canvases, but i'm most excited by the ipod cases and laptop skins. I'll also be adding some brand new designs very soon!

Thames Markets

I've been accepted to sell at another craft fair, so come check out the new Thames Markets, in Kingston Upon Thames, on the last saturday of every month. My first stall will be on Aug 27th- very excited to be selling in the beautiful townhall, in my home town. It's always great to have some support so if any of you live nearby it would be great to see you there! Hope to see lots of friendly faces!

Boss Cards

I'm mega busy at the moment as i'm away on holiday next week (hence the lack of posts) but I just wanted to do a quick post to let you know about a range of my cards that has just gone on sale on Boss Cards. One of the new breed of online card shops where you can personalise your cards, and then they send it out for you. I designed a range for them over a year ago, and it's great to see the website up and running at last. Here is one example- check out their website for my others...

Of Cabbages and Kings Market

I've been meaning to sort out some stalls for myself at London Markets since my textiles fair back in March which was a huge success, and now things are a bit quieter for me on the print side I have the time. So, I'll be selling my designs at Of Cabbages and Kings, at their one-off market at the Bread and Roses Pub in Clapham on June 11th. It's always great to have some support so if any of you live nearby it would be great to see you there!

Some of my prints spotted in shops...

I was doing a bit of searching for some of my prints in the shops and came across 3 today. First up, some scribbled stars and hearts on Primark pants, and my original below.





Secondly a kid's duvet cover and pillows in Verbaudet.



And finally a maternity dress and shirt again in Verbaudet. Love seeing the finished products- makes it all worth while!

Kew Gardens

I took a trip to Kew Gardens at the end of Feburary to check out the Tropical Flowers exhibit. It was truly stunning, with a wonderful array of orchids in beautiful bright colours. I got to try out my new digital SLR camera, and took lots of photos to inspire me when designing. Here are a few of my favourites...

Designers I love: Lisa Stannard

I've recently come across the work of print designer and illustrator Lisa Stannard. I love her use of layered colours and sketchy drawings, which combine to produce beautiful designs. Collaborations with Whitney Eve Port and Lucy in Disguise, have produced a fab range of prints and illustration work, and she's bringing out a new collection of her own soon.

Holi Festival- March 20th

I love colour, and what better way to celebrate it than with the colourful Hindu festival of Holi. On the main day, people throw coloured powder and coloured water at each other to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. These beautiful colours are so inspiring, and I find myself going back to these images time and again!
