The new Print & Pattern Geometric Book!

Happy New Year to you all! I do hope you had a lovely holiday & that so far 2015 has brought you joy :)

It was looking ropey for me personally but I'm pleased to say things have turned out as best as they could have & 2015 has actually started off amazingly well. I have some very exciting news to share. I'm thrilled to say that my work was chosen to be part of the new Print & Pattern book. It's titled Print & Pattern Geometric & I'm honoured to be able to show my work alongside extremely talented designers that I have admired for many years. Yay! I get to tick something off my bucket list!

Surtex 2014

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend? We went & visited the local woods to see the bluebells in full bloom. It was the most beautiful sight to see, I honestly could have stayed there for hours & I'm sure going back before they've all gone.

Work-wise I've been getting ready for Surtex 2014. Trying to get as many designs done as possible for the agency I work with Cinnamon Joe. You can see my flyer & all the amazing artists that Cinnamon Joe represents here on Print & Pattern.

Here are some more sneak peeks at the some of the designs I've created, do come & say hi to us in booth 312!

P.S I'm having a big shop update soon- this week I hope, if you want to be the first to snap up what's available do sign up for my newsletter here. 

Symbols in my art

Here's some snippets of what I've been up to recently. A little woodland design, circus design & yes, still drawing the sun & lots of clouds! Some artists talk about the same symbols coming up in their art time & time again, I find that very interesting & I also think it makes the design/painting more interesting as it gives you a glimpse of the artist behind the design. I'm noticing these recurring symbols popping up in my work now- I wonder what the reasoning is behind drawing suns & clouds? Perhaps it's just the simple reason that I'm desperate for summer now. Let's see if my symbols change once summer is here!

Getting ready for Surtex 2013

Hi there! Here's a peek of what I've been up to. Any available time I've had recently has been used to design as much as possible for Surtex. Wish I could go! You can find my work at the Cinnamon Joe stand- Booth 312.

Folk Pattern

Hello all, is the sun shining where you are? We are finally seeing some sun here in the UK & it's making me feel soooo much better in everyway.

Things have been very busy over the last couple of weeks- the usual- deadlines, being a Mummy, keeping (or trying to keep) house work under control! My little rabbit George had to be taken to the vet in the fear he had Snuffles (sounds cute but its deadly :( ), thankfully our vet doesn't think he has it but it was still an added strain that's still worrying me a bit. Piggy (affectionately known as, you'll hear why in a mo.) George's new girlfriend whom we adopted from a rescue center, is settling in very well. She's on a diet- let me tell you- I have never seen such a huge double chin on a bunny before! Her previous owners apparently fed her digestive biscuits & cooled down tea would you believe! She's already lost a lot of weight & can now clean herself properly again & run around & enjoy herself without getting out of breath in the first few minutes. Good news!

Here's a little pic of them having a cuddle. Awe! Sigh...........

And here's a snippet of a wrap I designed last year, I'm in love with the colours on this and it just made me my heart sing when I was designing it.

Flying In Paradise

Thought I would show you this new pattern today which I recently sold.

Inspired by hot tropical countries.
