Finding Your Passion

From doodles to painting, to editing and creating a final piece, the design process is an endless journey of enjoyment for me.

 But once you start it is impossible to look at anything without seeing a possible design/pattern in it. It is like you open your eyes for the first time to the intricate beauty of all that surrounds us.

A simple image, colour or shape can snowball into a whole collection. This connection with nature is what lights my passion for design.

Working with new colours and styles as part of the Dragonfly Collection. Have noticed that the colours change on different monitors. Therefore really important to print a sample before committing to large quantities of fabric.

Header Design

Have been working on a new header to include my name. I wanted to create a header that reflected my design style. Nor sure if it works..but I like it at the moment!

First steps. ..Facing Criticism!

It is time to put down the paint brushes and start communication with the outside world.

Although I love nothing better than sitting creating, painting, drawing....at some point I need to start showing people my designs. Especially if I want to develop my design business! It's no good just showing my designs to my family...as they love anything I do!

So here are some that I am working on at the moment.....

This design was made for a sculptor friend who then created the following sculpture, that can be found in the mountains of the Auvergne, France.

 

 

More from the children's range....
