Broken but still beautiful - July

Back to pencil for this series July offering. Concentrating on the left over columella after the outer surface has been broken away. These spiralling structures are the aspect that attract me the most. I find the geometry in nature fascinating.

Pounding waves - sketchbook page

After some exacting, delicate and detail work it is always nice to break out into a sketchbook for some pounding surf. You can see in this photo how the paper was starting to get destroyed as the surface balled up. I will be having a mini blogging break for the next couple of weeks to catch up on real life things but will be back soon. Have a great week!

New repeat pattern - Coastal collection trellis design

 

I have a new pattern to share, an addition to my Coastal Collection on Spoonflower. This trellis design features motifs used in the collection and is available in the same colourways to co-ordinate with all the previous designs.

Each of the neutrals and blues side by side for comparison. I am in the process of revising the designs to add an additional white background to all the co-ordinates in the collection if blue and crisp white is more your style.

Recently Spoonflower have added metallic silver and gold to their wallpaper range. I am not normally a shiny kind of girl but I have fallen in love the way the blue on taupe colours have printed on silver. My absolute favourite though is how the navy version looks on silver and gold - so rich and dramatic, it completely changes the feel. I haven't really thought about how coastal themes could be used to such effect but I rather like it.

Each of the colours, along with the co-ordinating patterns and plains can be found in their own collection here on the collections page in my store.

Alternatively the design can also be found in my RedBubble store in the Coastal Collection there. The motifs are also available as framed prints in each colour variation with framing options.

I find it so thrilling that the technology and platforms exist that enable creatives to design and produce such a range of ideas and products. I never dreamed that I would be able to do this at the beginning of my career. Exciting times!
