Beach Huts.

Had the most lovely of weekends visiting my dear friend Heather of Little Red... couldn't resist snapping these cute, colourful beach huts on the sea front during our late afternoon stroll. Loved visiting salvage yards, antiques centres and most of all catching up with well missed friends whilst enjoying Sunday roast by roaring log fire. Perfect ♥

Kenzo.

Kenzo Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.

Inspired by painter Ellsworth Kelly this collection combines effortless Parisian style with 1950s America. Bold abstracted shapes and rippling strucures reflect the undulating life of the coastal landscape.

Marbelous Wood.

I absolutely love ideas like this! It's great to see such familiar materials and techniques being used and combined to create something highly innovative and beautiful. Pernille Snedker Hansen you have done an awesome job! Danes ruling the design world yet again! Looking forward to seeing more from snedker°studio.

Colourful Quirky Characters.

I have a weakness for anything that is a great colour, a quirky character or a minature collection. These lovely photos by Caterina Gabelli combine all three so I am sold!

ffiXXed.

Loving the new collection by ffiXXed, who have collaborated with New York based artist Ester Partegas to produce these great digital prints. "Ester has contributed a series of collages constructed from the in-between spaces torn from the graphic landscape of magazine pages. These pieces are reconfigured to generate new forms, which like the ffiXXed collection try to find space for a more open and fluid negotiation of consumer culture." The shirt is my fave!

Getting Organised...

Trying to get organised after the big move. My room is getting there

...next stop the studio!

Work In Progress: On Silk

Considering ways I can expand my product range...silk scarves anyone?

Work In Progress: Screen Printed Length

It was really good to spend the day in the print room again yesterday. I was mainly prepping up for a 5 metre length that I will be printing next week but managed to squeeze in a few test prints too. On the face of it, this seems quite a simple design but it's not until you get to this stage that you realise how complex it is. Fingers crossed I can pull it off!

Ink and Water.

The simplicity of ink in water creates these beaultiful images by Alberto Seveso.

Work in Progress...

It has been a while since I updated my blog and this is the reason behind my absence... 90 print designs just about complete and ready for printing onto fabric!

Lucky Boy Sunday.

Love the dreamy styling by Danish Design duo Lucky Boy Sunday.

Colour Transitions.

Have been liking these from some time now and finally found out who they are by!

Love the transition from the raw wood into vibrant man made colour.

Tze Goh.

The clean minimal lines of Tze Goh create serene and atmospheric sculptures.

Still Life.

Love the composition and colour combinations in these still life paintings by

Danish artist Vilhelm Lundstrøm.

Work in Progress...Linen.Wood.Suede.

Snuggly Stools.

I love these fun and ever so snuggly statement stools by Claire-Anne O'Brien. I would very much like one...or all of them actually, can't choose between the beautiful colours and textures!

In The Print Room...

Spending the day screen printing (for the first time in a while!) paid off with some new ideas and processes I can develop into my next collection.

Colour Coordinated.

My vintage books beautifully colour coordinated.

Mummy Chair.

I have been doing a little research into alternative upholstery and remebered these from a few years back. The Mummy chair by Peter Traag is wrapped using 55 metres of elasticated polyester ribbon and is a great way to personalise and update tired furniture. My dedicated post for Mother's day! ♡ xx

Wendy House Dress.

I feel like it is time to get the Spring and dare I say Summer wardrobe out! I would love this cute printed dress to add to my very (ahem) small collection of frocks from Spanish label La Casita de Wendy.
