ballooning

I have had this ballooning print in my mind for a couple of years so when I found this charming King Penguin book in a second hand book shop in Broadstairs I was finally inspired to get it off the ground! It's first outing is as a new set of postcards which arrived in the post today. As soon as I have made the screens I will be making a 40x50cm screen print and cushions will follow.

spring colours

I have introduced a new spring colourway for my siesta cushions and sardana screenprint, a lovely fresh periwinkle blue and chocolate. The white linen cushion is in my shops now and the print will follow soon.

mermaid romance

Mermaid has found a boyfriend! She is a bit of an uptown girl but has fallen for a handsome pirate (oh dear, I am making up stories about cushions, I must be working too hard, should get out more!) I have been printing an edition of this pirate print to go with the cushions already in my etsy shop. 

inspirational book

I have to admit I didn't know much about American print maker David Weidman. I had seen some of his work in a print gallery in Colombia Road and loved it so I ordered this book. It arrived this week and I am smitten. A glorious catalogue of his colour saturated screen prints and pop posters from the fifties and sixties. I am now saving to buy a print of my own.
