I found an under-used screen and made a limited edition of these cushions for the Mid-Century Modern show at the beginning of December. And guess what? they outsold everything else. So I have put the remaining few in my <a href="http://roddyandginger.bigcartel.com/">shop</a> and they are available to buy now. Printed in shades of indigo (<a href="http://www.dulux.co.uk/colour-of-the-year">Dulux colour of the year 2014</a> don't you know!) onto white cotton barkcloth. Printing onto barkcloth is not easy and 9-10 pulls are needed to get a good coverage of ink, but the result is worth it, it has a lovely depth of colour and subtle textured effect. More colours and additions to the range will follow after Christmas.<br />

It's been a while but I am still here! For various reasons this Summer has been a busy one so my poor blog has been somewhat neglected. I will try harder!<br />
<br />
I needed some cushions for my newly re-upholstered sofa, so made this experimental print using an old screen. Inky blue looks just right for winter so I am going to print some more and get them into my shop as soon as I can.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685158819912340687.post-24681292115015758872013-08-09T18:34:00.001+01:002013-08-09T18:37:11.861+01:00smalltown progress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I spent the weekend by the coast in Broadstairs and made it to two boot sales on Sunday, out of town boot sales are the best. I tried to be discerning in my purchases but for prices as little as 10p I came away with quite a haul. Classic English utility homewares - Denby pottery, New Hall stainless steel and Falcon enamel ware, folksy Vileroy and Boch platter, studio pottery vase, glass pear and marble candlesticks.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I am turning part of my garage into a prop store for location shoots. A big garage clear out first, then ultra cheap shelving from Ikea and I can empty my cupboards and sort into categories, I cant wait. And of course a great excuse to keep spending my 10p's.<br />

It has taken a while but I have finally finished re-upholstering a couple of sofas, a job I started months ago, the fabric was a £5.00 per metre bargain from Brixton market so not much lost if it all went wrong. New sofas prompted me to make a few other changes, new shelves above the sideboard - these are vintage dutch Tomado shelves - hours of fun arranging things, and a new colour in the kitchen. The books just because I love them!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685158819912340687.post-25563258105831117112013-06-28T19:04:00.000+01:002013-06-28T19:04:28.978+01:00charity shop round-up<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have steered clear of charity shops lately as I keep having the feeling that I have too much stuff. But every now and then I spot something and weaken, here are a few of my latest finds - copper plant holder and marble mortar and pestle (top trend for materials here!) more Pengiun poets, enamel tea pot, ship in a bottle (essential I would say) and yet another birdie. Cue massive clear out!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685158819912340687.post-55285272291127374042013-06-05T17:40:00.001+01:002013-08-08T18:02:02.170+01:00wild west<br />

I have always thought that the <a href="http://roddyandginger.bigcartel.com/product/new-logpile-wallpaper-in-woodsmoke">Logpile wallpaper in woodsmoke</a> would make a great feature in a boys bedroom so with this in mind I gave it a bit of cowboy style. Here's the result, starring my vintage rocking horse - I knew it would be a useful prop one day. Great photography by <a href="http://www.heatherhobhouse.com/">Heather Hobhouse</a> who as usual reigned me in from my eagerness to over prop. I was ready with the log hooks, cowboy hats and wigwam which she gently managed to avoid using!<br />

We also shot the new Smalltown wallpaper and cushions ready for a launch late summer - exciting!</div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Its been a couple of weeks since exhibiting at Pulse, busy ones, so I have just now found time to catch up with a few pictures of my stand. The lighting was not good so the pictures are a little stark. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Most of my stand was made up from my kitchen furniture with the </span>addition of a set of Ikea wall shelves, and looking round the exhibition made me realise how the majority of displays incorporated a piece of kit from Ikea, where would we be without them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The new Smalltown wallpaper and textiles collections went down really well so production is under way. I hope to have the wallpaper and teatowels by August. The cushions are hand printed so will be available a bit sooner - as soon as I find time to update my shop to be honest!</div>

Its been busy here but hand printed samples are coming together for <a href="http://www.pulse-london.com/">pulse</a> (three days to go). My mind is so full of things to do that I am afraid updating my blog is a bit far down the list. I hope things will be back to normal after this weekend. In the meantime you can follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/roddyandginger">instagram</a> for random pictures and general time wasting!<br />

I was more than a little surprised and delighted to see that roddy&ginger was selected by Katie Treggiden in the Pulse Preview booklet as one of her three to watch at the show this year. Katie is the official blogger for Pulse and you can read my interview with her <a href="http://confessionsofadesigngeek.com/2013/04/30/interview-roddy-ginger/">here </a>on her excellent blog Confessions of a Design Geek. <br />
<br />
So with only a couple of weeks to go before it starts I felt I had to get cracking on some printing. Yes, it's late in the day but there is nothing like a deadline to get things going. I have spent the week mixing colours, printing sample fabric for cushions and lengths of my new Small Town wallpaper. Most exiting of all I found some log hooks at the local and very charming <a href="http://www.alexandranurseries.co.uk/">Alexandra Nurseries</a> in lovely Penge.<br />
<br />
If anyone is going to Pulse, details for registering are <a href="http://www.pulse-london.com/">here</a>, it takes place on 12-14th May at Earls Court and I will be on stand LP36, would be lovely to say hello!<br />

Another place where we stopped for a fino (this became quite a habit!) An old favourite, <a href="http://www.hostalempuries.com/">Hostal Empuries</a>, near the roman site at Empuries. The building dates from the 20's and the interior is an elegant mix of beachy scrapwood and contemporary design. On a good day the view stretches over the dunes across the bay towards Cadaques. Altogether a gentler place than the Parador at Aiguablava, but these contrasts are what I love about this part of Spain.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685158819912340687.post-82902244673694464732013-04-24T13:51:00.002+01:002013-04-24T13:53:35.340+01:00hello again<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello neglected blog! I have just got back from a short break in Spain where I actually saw the sun!<br />
We spent some time visiting favourite places and exploring some new. Including this fabulous modernist hotel <a href="http://www.paradores-spain.com/spain/paiguablava.html">Parador Aiguablava</a> where we stopped for a fino and to gawp in amazement at the view and the architecture.<br />

Yes, I know that geometrics are the big thing right now but try as I might to come up with a design that I am happy with that doesn't have a face or feathers or branches it just doesn't feel like me. This one bridges the gap I think, simple shapes with just enough story. Heres a sneak preview of work in progress - colour sampling on barkcloth and trying it out as a wallpaper. A bit of fine tuning is required and screens to be remade as I got the separations wrong first time, but I hope to have a small collection ready for <a href="http://www.pulse-london.com/">Pulse</a> in May.<br />

It's mother's day, and here is my mum looking the picture of elegance, she was and still is very beautiful. I think this was taken in Rome by my dad in the '50s - how glamourous!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile flash forward, and la vita has not been so dolce here, things have changed in our tall skinny house and instead of a neat square we are now a triangle.<br />
<br />
However, I am glad to say that of all the shapes we could be, triangles are the strongest which is a very good thing. I have my lovely twins happily living at home even though they are grown up 21year olds. Flash forward another five years and I will probably be thinking - will they ever leave!? but right now I consider myself to be the luckiest of mums x<br />

These two, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Martin_Provensen">Alice and Martin Provensen</a> are my current favourite illustrator pair, working together from the 1950's, they were also creators of breakfast hero <a href="http://roddyandginger.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/theyre-grrreat.html">Tony the Tiger</a>. <a href="http://clareyoungs.co.uk/blog/">My sister</a> and I are slightly competitively hunting down their portfolio of beautifully illustrated children's books and I know she will be coveting this one.
