Bold and Bright! A summery collection in Turquoise, Magenta and Sunshine Yellow

Summer is on its way! The sun will be hot, the garden and beach accessories even hotter. Bold prints on crisp white in turquoise, magenta and sunshine yellow. Fabric, wallpaper and soft furnishings are available in my Spoonflower store.

For stationery and accessories visit RedBubble ....how cute are the sundresses and totes?

My absolute favourite is the seahorse bedding in blue.

The patterns were created using the linoprint cards that I made earlier in the year. They can be found in my Folksy store.

Roll on summer!

Shell Seekers - new design collection for fabric and wallpaper

A new collection of designs in response to a design challenge on Spoonflower - the brief was Delft Tile.

I fell down a rabbit hole researching and wanted to emulate the calming, serene, peaceful and unhurried feelings the antique tiles evoke. Once the main design was created I couldn't help but make a selection of co-ordinates, in what I hope could be used to make a peaceful sanctuary to retreat to.

All the designs can bs viewed here in my Spoonflower store. Stationery and home accessories can be found here in my RedBubble shop.

November's spiral shell drawing

November's drawing is a weighty one. I always think this shell would make a pretty lethal weapon. You can hold it in your hand very comfortably with it's claws between your fingers as it is a rather large specimen. I guess the creature that lives inside could potentially use it's protrusions to warn off predators maybe, it certainly looks fierce.

Can you believe that there is only one more drawing to go? I can't I feel like I have just been getting started but the year is going so fast! I will need to think up next years one-a-month project soon.

I am also VERY excited to show you the pattern that I made in the summer from the first six drawings, this is a sample of the fabric in the small scale in mid blue. I am so pleased with how this came out (even if I do say so myself) - and I did a happy dance! The fat quarter that I ordered is on the petal signature cotton but lots of other fabrics are available like velvet, fleece, twill, cotton silk, denim and I am very tempted to order some of the wallpaper as a sample (I will have to think up a project to use it on - I think it would be lovely as a book cover).

To see the available colourways click here and look for the Coastal Collection for the relevant colour.

As always it is available as a print, framed, unframed or canvas or stationery at RedBubble

Acorns & Oak - new wallpaper, fabric & home accessories collection

It feels like we have been in the long slide into Autumn now for a couple of weeks. Acorns are falling in abundance and along with collecting some to draw again I have been putting together the final touches to a new collection on Spoonflower inspired by last years photo references, sketches and the drypoints.

Available in Warm Winter Blues

Sage green and white

Chocolate brown and neutral

and Pumpkin spice

All designs can be purchased as fabric, wallpaper (including gold and silver metallic based versions) and soft furnishings. Co-ordinating plains, stripes and patchwork designs are available in each colour way as well as a 'new to me' product - 2026 Calendar Tea Towels.

I will slowly be adding some of these designs onto RedBubble so more co-ordinating home accessories and gifts will be available.

As you know if you have been reading along for a while I'm not really a red person, as a colour family it scares me somewhat, but I really enjoyed stretching my wings with the spicy paprika reds, gingers, cinnamon and turmeric. I think it is a close second favourite to the Winter blues. Do you have a favourite colour collection?

Which colour is your favourite? I am rather liking the Midnight Blue.

A bit too late to be included but this is July's spiral drawing. The spiral of this cone shell is completely flat. I was really attracted to the contrast of the white with sepia markings that made it a joy to draw. This one may end up in it's own pattern at a later date at the moment I'm enjoying observing the shell from all angles whilst it sits on my desk.

Daringly Deco Scallops - new design available at Spoonflower & RedBubble

New designs added to my Coastal Collections of fabric, wallpaper, home accessories & gifts at Spoonflower and RedBubble. The scallop design features a reworking of a watercolour painting and the undulations with it made a subtle nod to Art Deco. I really enjoy working on patterns and putting collections together but I find thinking of names very HARD! If you have any coastal themed suggestions I would really appreciate the help.

The second design, Wave Stripes, (can you see what I did there?) is among new co-ordinates for the collection. There are also plains, spots, pinstripes and ticking stripes available and lots more. I recently made some patchwork grids using a selection of the designs by colour too.
