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!

New Phone Cases!

I'm super excited to show off my new phone cases, i've been wanting to do these for ages now, after having some bad experiences with other suppliers, (late delivery, dodgy colours and worse quality) It gave me the nudge to actually do this myself, and why not? I love making things, I can test out one offs and really get a feel for the market. I'm really lucky to have the chance to do this so i'm going to try and make it work the best I can :)

 Below is one on my best sellers, I put it online and got so much support from everyone about this case, created by marbling I added my favourite pastel tones to create this. It was tricky to get right on the phone cases, but i'm really pleased with the result :) I'd love to see photos of your phone if you purchase this!

 Did i mention it's only £10 from here

I've also been playing with other images, The other two shown below are from my marble collection too,  The first is the pink and gold, a great feminine case, with lovely contrast and bold colouring, the middle is the Pastel Case from above, and Lastly is the Teal case, a real sensitive and subtle case with gold flecks and light washy colours. 

Above are my newest additions! my hand-drawn illustrations freshly printed on white cases!

 I'd love to know what you think about my cases, I'm going to continue experimenting with all of them, making new ones and seeing what sells, so keep up to date as there's loads to come on shop.natalielines.co.uk 

The White Room

I decorated my room, and it's all fresh and white.

So I finally had some time to decorate my room. I never really have the chance to update it all at once, i've been pinning away for months now with inspiration and little accessories, so i had a good idea in my head of how I wanted it to turn out!

I just have a little printer to buy which will probably go where the flowers are and then I think i'm done. Some thinks it's a little spacious and empty but I really like how clean, bright and fresh it is, and i'm excited to work here.

The flowers are fake! from Wilkinsons, i'm really impressed with them, they're lilies, daises and other little flowers and leaves, they look great from a distance and they don't look too plastic. My lovely vase is my great Grand-fathers which is from the 1920's so I'm really glad i've found a nice place for it to go, even if it does hold fake flowers.

The top shelf is empty right now but i've got three tiny cacti to put at the top, they're currently potted in red, yellow and lime plastic pots, but i'd like to replace them with ceramic white ones.

Thankyou for looking, and I hope you like it :D
