Anna Raymond

I'm feeling good after an afternoon of sorting! My office was getting in a real mess....all better now! Ready for a very productive tomorrow!

While sorting I found some old postcards (see blue image: top left) so I checked out the artist.

Really love this work, all by Anna Raymond...see more here...I like her website too.

new range instore now!

Here's a selection from a new range called Life on the Road

that I designed the print and embroideries for.

This was a really nice range to work on, I think the colours have come out great.

And yet again the talent that is the

Mamas and Papas design team have done a lovely job of designing the garment shapes.

Think this skirt is my favourite.

Now on sale both online and instore at Mamas and Papas.

See here and here are some ranges that I worked on for Mamas and Papas last year.

Toshiyuki Fukuda

What a find! I absolutely love the work by this artist, Toshiyuki Fukuda.

I'd not heard of this artist before until I found an interview with him on a website that I now can't find! which is quite frustrating as I'd like to know more about him.

I do know that Toshiyuki is from Japan and has had his artwork published on a variety of products from cards to calendars, books to film posters. See here

If anyone has anymore info I'd love to hear it....and to buy one of his prints!

Charley Harper

I've been aware of Charley Harper for a little while now thanks to

my friend, (another Harper!) at rahrahrepeats.

I found this great print by Charley Harper on a blog recently which as sparked my interest in this brilliant artist!

You can see more of his work here I reckon the 2010 calendar could well be in my Christmas list!

World Tapestry

Last September I had the fantastic opportunity of working on a babywear range for Mamas and Papas. I throughly enjoyed it and was a fun challenge.....and now the range is in store and online here

I produced the print, embroidery and some of the add ons for the range, the girls in-house did a super job of designing the garments! And someone has found some super cute little ones to model the range, has been wonderful for me to see!

here's another one....I am quite fond of this lion.

Think it could work well for a kids bedroom as well as a fun gift bag!

I did these designs about 18 months, they are now in Tesco, UK on a variety of products....notebooks, giftbags, folders,gift wrap, photo albums, pens etc etc.  Was great to see!

Will get photos of the products up here soon!

I recently created this pattern for a friend who needed some artwork, think it could work well for stationery or scrapbooking maybe.
