D-rings!

I've been prototyping some new products lately (exciting!!) - hopefully I'll have something to show you soon, in the meantime here are some pictures from when I got side tracked making patterns with d-rings...

Also, the new tulip print pouches in marigold are up in the shop! These are hand printed on a lovely hemp and organic cotton fabric, I'm really happy with how they turned out.

This weekend

This weekend I will:

print this pile of fabric,

learn how to propagate all these sweet little mother of millions plantlets,

and make a lot more mess on my workroom floor.

Production lines and Encraftment Market

I had some fun today making up a batch of business cards and pretty-ing up some Jiffy Mailers for posting out my prints. The cards are made from test screen prints and rubber stamps. It is probably not the most cost and time effective way of producing business cards, but I love the process and how each card turns out slightly different.

And in other news I'm very excited to be doing the Encraftment Market in three weeks or so. All going to plan I'll have a few new prints and a few new brooches to show you.

New year, tidy work space

I'm so not one for New Year resolutions, but I figured the beginning of the year is as good a time as any to sort out my studio and make it a tidier, and hopefully more productive place to be... 

I love looking at the studios and workspaces of other makers - so here is mine (all tidied up!):
