Into the Woods

Into the Woods we go!!!
We made a journey stick, to record our footsteps through the woods, meadows and past the water.
This will be my last post before we head out to Norfolk. I will be back soon!!

Time is Ticking

The summer holidays are passing by very quickly!  We go to Norfolk soon for a break, I hope to come back with a sketchbook full of ideas, a great collection of photographs and some interesting beach finds.

Packaging

I have been working on some obi ideas for packaging my prints.  I seem to do lots of packaging and posting these days!  Here's a lovely packaged which came for me today from my lovely neighbour.
I have another new stockist for my work, SMUG London  http://www.ifeelsmug.com/

Black Rock

We headed out to Black Rock today and walked along the old train line. We did some gem panning at the stone center and discovered lots of hidden treasures. 
I am getting my work ready to feature in the window of Design Circus, West Bridgford.  My new collection will be on show and ready to purchase from the 6th September!!!

A Charming Weekend

I was fortunate to work on a collaboration with the amazing fashion photographer Dani Drubaker http://www.danibrubaker.com/.  Here is a piece of work form the our project

Mini Meadow

We returned back to where my very first collection began, five years ago!!
How the little people have grown.  We created mini meadows for the mini beasts to live and have fun in. A magical moment!
