New Fabric

Here are some of my new fabric designs from my 'Meadow Melody' collection which have been produced by Wilmington Designs. I'm really looking forward to getting some of the fabric myself and trying to make something out of it. I think I'll start with something simple like a cushion!

Back to the drawing board with a flutter..

I'm back from my lovely holiday at the beautiful island of Lefkada. It was truly amazing we rented a beautiful villa with a pool which was ideal for my two year old daughter to swim around in. The villa was on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea with beautiful views of the coastline and the stunning sunsets. I now feel relaxed and refreshed and ready to work!

I think this design is influenced by the colorful butterflies and fauna I saw in Lefkada, it was actually the first time I ever saw a swallowtail butterfly in the wild. I have a on going love affair with butterflies and flowers, I love to draw them as they are so colorful and fun and pretty commercial too. This design will be part of a set for childrenswear.

Start of something new...

Here is the start of something new. As usual its nice and bright (pastels tend not to work for me!) Butterflies have to be my favorite thing to draw and they never seem to go out of fashion. I won't be blogging much for the next few weeks as I have a pretty hectic schedule. My daughter is turning two years old (time flies) so I'm preparing a party, as well as that my lovely twin sister is coming over and we plan to spend some time by the beach. So by for now and back soon!!

Flutterflies

I think the summer has finally come to Greece. We had a lovely weekend with beautiful sunshine all the flowers are booming and the bees are buzzing, lovely.

Keeping with the mood of flowers and buzzing little insects I've been working on a repeat called Flutterflies.

Butterflies are always popular and they are somehing I just come back to again and again, they look great on cards, wrap, clothes everything. I'm also trying to tone down my colours slightly as I realise bold bright colours aren't popular to everyone.

Right now I'm off for an ice cold drink on my balcony!
