Pet Print Cushion Covers!

I've made some new cushion covers for my shop. These are hand silkscreen printed using my own drawings of animals, specifically pets. I love these bright coloured fabrics, I can make each print up as any colour but these were the ones I was drawn to. I've had people asking for more muted colours like powder blue, so they'll be 'coming soon'. As I had sew each cushion cover I can select any colour or fabric you'd like!

I think these would look great in a modern home, lined up on a sofa. They really brighten a room. Even Ed the cat was  interested in them:

Here are a few examples of brooches I've made:

Doll Face

My doll face necklace has evolved into this cute collection of painted wood faces. I get carried away with creating lots of unique little characters, but I like the idea that each piece will be unique. They'll come as brooches and necklaces to start with. Look out for them in my shop soon.

They started of based on kokeshi dolls, but I think they remind me of a class of school kids!

The Aviary

My new T-shirt from The Aviary arrived today in a flurry of paper butterflies! I've been coveting this gorgeous floral cat design since I saw it entered into the People of Print Cat's Protection T-Shirt Design competition. (of which I also entered...I did not win) I really admire [I'm jealous of] The Avairy's style. The illustrations are delicate and intricate and beautiful! Mixing my favourite things; animals, flowers and ink drawings I'm sure to buy more from them, especially in the near future when they launch their own website. Ones to watch, or at least Facebook stalk, as they're making a lot of new things including items made from their digitally printed fabrics; cushions, paper and wallpaper. :D

The T-shirt is really nice as well, but if I'm brave enough I might try to adjust it a bit. The length is great but I'd like a softer neckline and shorter sleeves or at least rolled up cap like sleeves. I'm no good at sewing, so I'll have to enlist the help of my talented seamstress relatives!

Paint your own egg cups

Inspired at last to paint some of my egg cups.The pens work really well! I had to break the designs up into sections as the paint took a couple of days to dry. I went with faces as a motif as the egg cup shape lends its self to being a little person. I'm going to do more! It's quite addictive to sketch characters once I got the format sorted.

Valentines

Valentines Day is very nearly here. These are some of the card designs I made for the day. Hand lino cut and printed on white card. Buy from my Folksy Shop or the Welsh Gift Shop
