Vertbaudet designs on sale

Great to see some more of my prints out and about. Vertbaudet are selling a couple of kids blouses with my prints on at the moment.

Inspiration: Artist Stina Persson

I'm loving the work of swedish illustrator Stina Persson at the moment. Her beautiful watercolour paintings have a mix of elegance and edgyness to them, and she uses a stunning array of colours. I love the mix of sketchy drawings and fluid watercolour blending with splashes, drips, and the occassional pattern thrown in. I wish I lived in NY right now so that I could go to her upcoming exhibition, Perfectly Flawed.

Here are some of my favourite designs, which are inspiring me this week.

Design on Paperchase notebook

I was thrilled to come across one of my designs on a notebook in Paperchase last week, and I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of another design that is due to be on a wrap. I've always loved Paperchase's colourful and quirky designs, and the experience was made all the better when the shop assistant serving me commented on how much she loved this design- she was rather surprised when I told her it was one of mine!

Feature on Print Pattern Blog

I was thrilled to be featured on the highly influential and popular blog printpattern last friday. It was lovely to see that Marie likes my work. Please click here if you would like to read the fab entry.

I took a little trip to Brighton last weekend, and walked along the sea in Hove. I absolutely loved the colours of all the little beach huts. They would make a beautiful summer colour palette.



And here is the colour palette that I made from the last picture. I'll upload a print designed with it asap.
