Coming soon in a B&Q near you. Yes I know it's not quite Heals or The Conran Shop but hey so what?! See my new designs selected for canvas wall art here...

Christmas all year round...!

I've been working hard on projects for Christmas 2011 - it seems like Christmas all round in my house! Here's a few sneak peeks...

Summer table mats

I thought I'd post a few designs I've been working on for table mats...fresh and springlike and hopefully commercial too...

Arteria Exhibition

A new exhibition at Arteria in Lancaster featuring some of my work opens on 17th June, see below. Arteria sell some gorgeous design led gifts for the home as well as the gallery upstairs.

Pink!

Here's a couple of recent designs, in pink, for cards/wrap. Sometimes you just have to go for 'pink' designs - they're so commercial. If I had my way, I dont think I'd chose to do anything in these girly tones, but they always seem to sell...

Damson Day

Last Saturday I had a go at selling various homemade items at our local Damson Day in the Lyth Valley. I had handmade cards and framed prints for sale, my husband makes the garden items. The kids helped on the stall as well as enjoying the archery and the locally made damson icecream.

It was the most beautiful day, not so beautiful if you're stuck in a tent all day though. Normally the damson blossom is out in full force at this time of year although this year it's a couple of weeks late. I did manage to take a nice shot of the damson tree silhouettes through the marquee though.

My friend Sue from busyblackbird.com also took part with her gorgeous handmade wooden items and cards, as did my Mum who was selling heaps of her homemade damson cheese in her hand thrown pots.

Union Jack

I thought it might be fun to try and incorporate the Union Jack into a Christmas design for cards - and here are the results...
