Happy June!

Summer is here, time to sit and enjoy the scent of the roses and the sun on your back.
​This little kitty is certainly doing just that, taking it easy in the conservatory chair.

This June, if you are based in the UK, there is no escaping the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
To mark this historic occasion, I have created a motif and pattern to help with decorations for the celebrations.  

These designs were originally created as part of a collaborative project with The Crafty Collective Bridgwater - they are a gift shop in our local shopping centre that stocks products from local artisan makers.  I have had a shelf within their shop for the past couple of years, to provide a home for my paper goods and wall art in my local high street.  

This Jubilee project we have created together is hopefully the beginning of more collaborative projects with The Crafty Collective.  We are also working on a line of products that I am hoping to bring to both their shop and my Etsy and Folksy shops very soon.  These projects have been keeping me quietly busy behind the scenes this past month and I'm very excited about it as it's something I have had in mind for a while.

Below are a closer look at the designs for the Jubilee - as you will see from the last image, we hope they have Royal Approval!

​The designs are also available on all kinds of things in my Society 6 and Redbubble too, such as table cloths and cute dog bandanas...

As a gentle reminder - June 19th is Father's Day this year.
I have made sure I have plenty of cards available in my Etsy shop, including this new design...

Finally, throughout May I have been also working on some new pattern designs and am getting on with the illustrations for my 2023 calendar, which I hope to share some little peeps of it's work in progress with you next month...

​Until then, I wish you a very lovely June!
​Best wishes

Happy May!

On this month's wallpaper there's lots of cheerful chirping in hedgerows
as the hawthorn blooms with May blossom and the birds gather in admiration.
​Can you spot the Dunnock, Chaffinch, Wren and Blue Tit?

Last month I took a bit of a break from social media and was quietly getting on with developing a new collection of illustration prints for my Etsy shop.  

I had this collection in mind last summer, while working on my language of flowers and nature guides to Moon Phases and Zodiac Constellations illustrations.  The idea being to merge the two collections with a unique set of prints for my Etsy, and ultimately also for my Folksy, Society 6 and Redbubble shops.  
It just required some quiet focussed time to sit down and get it done.
Thankfully, April provided the opportunity to do that,
​so I am delighted to showcase all 12 of the Zodiac Flowers illustrations here...

I hope you enjoyed having a closer look at
​each of the illustrations in this new collection.
Wishing you a very lovely May!
Best wishes
