Laurie Hastings Prints

I've been looking at these beautiful prints by Laurie Hastings today. There's a lovely fresh feeling about this one, called 'Isle'. I suppose I just really want to go on holiday!
This is from an edition of 50. They are £40 each, and you can buy one here: http://lauriehastings.bigcartel.com/product/isle-limited-edition-silk-screen-print
This one also took my eye.

It's called 'Lily Pond', also an edition of 50, and is £30.
Laurie is based in London, you can see more of her illustrations and prints on her website

Hot Dog!

It's just too much for Stanley! This isn't what should be going on during your morning walk!

Hurrah! You can now order my 'Barny' brooches on 'Not on the High Street', by following this link:

Available in black or teal, these brooches are printed onto laser cut birch ply, and look lovely on a coat or jacket. They come in a natty little black box, so make an ideal gift.

Wedding Invites

Every now and then a real gem of a project comes my way. This design for wedding invites was a joy to do, and my lovely clients seemed very happy with the results.

Cloud Busting

I had a lie in today. A weekday lie in is a special treat- I worked all weekend, and I have a cold. That's my excuses over with.
While I was at the Urban Art Fair in Brixton, a lady walked past wearing this beautiful cardigan. I accosted her, and demanded to know where she had found it. She obligingly showed me the label, and it revealed the name of a very great favourite of mine, 'Numph'.

Numph is a Danish label, and I have been following their collections for 5 or 6 years now. Look carefully at this sweater, and you can make out the cloud pattern that is knitted into the weave- just lovely. Anyway, I did some on-line shopping during my duvet day, and found one here: http://www.cove-online.com/p437/Numph-Fun-Cloud-Cotton-Ice-Cream-Cardigan/product_info.html
And the Numph website can be drooled over here:

And you'll be pleased to know that I am actually out of bed now, and getting on with some work!

Heart Home Blog

Rona Wheeldon has been kind enough to write about me on the marvellous blog 'Heart Home' today. I'm chuffed to bits!

Rona's own blog is called 'Flowerona' , and celebrates all things flower related. A real breath of fresh air!! Thanks Rona.

Hello! Oh, it's been a while, sorry about that. Things have been a little busy round here.
Well, I'm back now. I thought I'd introduce a new project- I've been working on these laser cut and printed birch brooches. There will be four designs, this is the first of them.

They will be for sale on 'Not on the High St' some time over the weekend. Keep 'em peeled!

The reason I've not updated the blog for a wee while is that I've been exhibiting at the 'Pulse' show at Earl's Court. It was a great event, with tons of inspiring design. There will be a bit more about the show over the next week or so.

Now i'm back, I'd like to go and sort out the allotment. PLEASE stop raining!!!
