It's What's Inside That Counts

I've wanted to produce a bag of my Russian doll design for ages now but have been waiting for the right opportunity to present itself.
Well good things really do come to those who wait as I was recently approached by the very lovely Naomi of NV London Calcutta.
They're an award winning ethical accessories company specializing in handmade leather bags and luxurious silk scarves. You can see their full range here .
The cotton totes will be hand screenprinted each side and easily folds up to fit inside a matching handmade leather purse, all that for only £25. Available from mid November, to pre order please email me at reapwhatisew@gmail.com

Friday November 4th

In less than 3 weeks I'll be taking part in a new monthly market at the Arts Depot Finchley. I'll be selling screenprints, teatowels, cushion covers and some new things i'm currently working on. Find out more about the market here .

Time to stop

I've got a bit of an addiction to casio watches - especially the little plastic ones - they're so light and easy to wear - you hardly know they're there. Anyone might think I've too much time on my hands!

Ive felt better

I've done something really weird to my shoulder/neck and the result has left me in total agony all weekend - it's even disturbing my sleep, no fun at all.
On the plus side I managed to finish off these illustrations. I wanted to make something that felt (excuse the pun) handmade, homely with a sense of warmth.
My original idea was a lot more complicated so i'm glad I decided to strip it back and keep it simple.

A while ago I did an illustration for a great magazine called 'Lost in London'
I'm pleased as punch that they've asked me to do more work for them, here's a sneak preview of what i'm working on at the moment.
You can find out more about the magazine here .

Lovely things from lovely people

Not only do the Keep Calm Gallery sell great prints, they have a sister site which sells amazing tote bags and purses, you'll find them here .

Keep Calm and Dry On!

A while ago I designed another teatowel for the multi talented and incredibly brilliant Keep Calm Gallery . I'm very excited to announce that it's now available to buy Here . Just like all their lovely teatowels it's made from 100% cotton.
Thanks so much to Hayley & Lucas for the fantastic photographs.

Nice to sit on

I made this cushion for my friend's birthday, not just cause he's 'Nice' but because he's also a biscuit fan. It's so comfy I'm not sure if I can part with it.

Selfridges

I am super excited by the fact something I designed is now available in Selfridges!! Check out the great range of nail polish pens & products by LAQA Here

I adapted a quote from S.E Hinton's 'The Outsiders' to make this screenprint for my brilliant & best friend Ellie.

I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks so today i've been busy making bunting to decorate my party. x

Help Haiti

Awful things happen all too often in this world, but it's our world - do whatever you can to help - buy this print if you like many others are lost for words or a way to help. If you can't afford to buy it then do your bit by spreading the word. x

It has always been a real pleasure to work with the lovely Lucas & Hayley of Keep Calm . So i'm really happy to announce that we're furthering our relationship with a new Tea Towel
I received this gorgeous sample the other day and am hoping that the real thing will be ready in time for Christmas. They're made from lovely soft 100% organic cotton.
Ok it's not magic so it won't do your dishes for you, but I do hope that the message will cheer you up!

I recently did a little illustration for a new magazine that's coming out soon.
Will give you more details as soon as I have them.

I told you there'd be exciting stuff and I really wasn't lying!!! There's a new company called LAQA & CO that have just launched an amazing nail polish pen. They've used the artwork of up and coming designers & artists to adorn their boxes which I think is a great idea especially as I was one of the lucky ones chosen.

I've been drawing all day today but it's been slow going! All these little bits and pieces are going to form the basis for a new screenprint I intend to do. I was so horrified by the floods in Pakistan that whenever I do finally get round to producing this print all the money I make from selling it will be donated to the British Red Cross.
