Mollie Makes Magazine...

I am delighted to of been asked to produce a project and feature for this brilliant magazine www.molliemakes.com,  for the Christmas edition.  I am such a fan, and it is definitely one of my monthly high-lights when I hear the postman attempting to squeeze my subscription through the letterbox!  Will keep you posted...

Outdoorsy Guy

I have had a lot of fun hand printing 'Outdoorsy Guy' and his friends for a shop in Rye.  I must be one of the only people I know who likes the nights drawing in and the cosiness of being inside on a wet and blustery day.  It's a great excuse to create and experiment with ideas that have been on paper for too long!  I am feeling quite smug as I have started on some Christmas ideas!

Two Moustaches!

Here are two very dapper moustache-ioed gentlemen.  I saw a young guy in town the other day with a fully waxed moustache; he looked great, maybe they are catching!

All Aboard...

I have had a run of 'Bus' tea cosies over the last few weeks.  Several have been posted off to Australia or the USA; for ex-pats, to remind them of home!  This one however, is off to sunny Acton...

Pattern on Pattern...

I noticed the other day just how many 'patterns' I have at home; from ceramics to fabric, stationery to kitchen ware.  I thought it might be interesting to photograph them in situ, but at such an angle that they are not so distinguishable as separate objects...

Bonjour!

I have been making quite alot of 'French' inspired hanging folk; what is it about that beret/breton top combo!  This is one dis-interested couple....

Kitty

I saw a good (and talented) friend of mine the other day and she presented me with this lovely illustration she had done of my little girl, Kitty, playing on a toy computer.  She had taken some snap shots of Kitty a while ago, saying they were for reference! She has captured her so well with such subtle detail and lines.  I was really touched, what a lovely gift, I can't wait to frame it.
