Baby Bird Cushion
Boyfriend’s Mummy loves her illustrated “Baby Bird” cushion which I gave as her Christmas gift.
Pet Cushions
A little pet cushion commission I completed for a dear friend to give her husband on Christmas Day….featuring beloved doggie pet “Godfrey” to go with the cushion of her gorgeous Persian cat ‘Sooty’.
The ‘Godfrey Dog’ cushion was made using colour and pattern to compliment the vintage floral background of ‘Sooty Cat’….I think they look delightful together….
A ceramic ‘Toybox’ for adults
I’d like to consolidate all of my design ideas (from my present sketchbook) into one large piece to create an eclectic, kitsch ceramic box (like a toy box but to serve as a trinket holder for adults).
The illustrations on the outside will serve as a visual diary which capture everything which inspires me from vintage dolls and florals to kitsch, childlike puppy illustrations.
This keepsake box will be used to hold treasured items of sentimental value, reminiscent of childhood memories and nostalgia….
Gorgeous Ceramics
Just came across some gorgeous little ceramic pieces by Bristol based Little Birdy Crafts I’m absolutely in love with the charm of the characters, intricate detailing and vivid colours…. LOVE
Vintage Kitsch
Constant visits to the quirky little Vintage clothing and bric-a-brac shops in Bristol are starting to go to my head……..
Wedding Invitation Commission
Just finalising designs for a Wedding invitation commission, playing with font and colours at the moment (I’ll just give you a peep at this one as rather fond of this brown and lace effect)…..
Wedding commission
A little wedding invitation commission I’m working on at the moment…I was given the sweetest of concepts to work from….an absolute joy!
Little Prints for new Baby’s Nursery
A photograph from a lovely collector of my work (based in Australia) two of my little prints…. ‘Four Calling Birds’ and ‘Baby Bird’ framed and in the baby nursery…now just waiting for the dear little arrival to make an appearance.
Means so much when people choose my work to go in such special places…
