New Skirts and New Items

It's an exciting day! My new fabric arrived and i've been making my new cushions, glasses cases and pouches. I've also got a lovely new skirt from Zara, it's off white and pleated.  It's a little long, so i'm going to take it up to just above the knee.

I wanted in involve some of the things I make into my posts, and especially the fashion side of things to show how they can be used and styled. My glasses cases have been made with my kitty print on them as a prototype, i'm selling them for £10 on my website here. My phone fits in it too, so i'm popping that in there when I don't need the glasses. 

I'm working so hard to get lots of products together, i'm pleased to see some of them getting stocked in shops and i'm trying to expand my hand made items so I can try and be more self sufficient. Illustration wise I've been making lots of new prints and working with new companies which i'm really excited to talk about! until then, thanks for reading!

Update on life

Wooo! Hi All,  So excited to show some new pictures, I've been playing with my camera and just adored the depth of field, I wanted to experiment with a new backdrop to compliment my phone cases, Although it's quite glittery I really wanted it to be fresh and bright and show off the vivid colours.

 I've changed the process a bit in printing meaning that the cases are a lot sturdier and the colours are so much brighter. It's been a brilliant learning process which i've enjoyed so much. I did expect it to be a complete nightmare. I'm excited to start stocking my cases in new shops too, and i'm also doing lots of new craft fairs this year, so look out for that. By the way, My sister kindly accepted my request to be the hand model (such an honour, ha!) but look at those nails, who else would I ask?

Once i'd taken my product photos I wanted to see how the backdrop would look with different subjects,  As i'm a freelance illustrator I spend a lot of time alone, making my cat the only available model! But she's gorgeous isn't she! ( I drew her for my cat phone case) I also took a Self Portrait.

 As always, thanks for reading,
