More robins.....

This is what I've been working on today its still not right yet but I'm getting there. Think I need to tweek the text....

Lace and Leather

Like most of us I find it hard to throw away offcuts of materials and odd buttons. I'm such a hoarder...but you just never know when it might come in handy.
I created these pieces using some of those said 'scraps' as birthday presents... I liked mixing the leather/suede and lace along with stitching and a bit of sparkle, you can't beat a bit of sparkle!!

Tag pictures

These are some of the pictures that I've been creating. I was making them quite regularly some for special occasions as presents but I've also had several commissions. I like making all the little tags into precious little objects on their own....

new patchwork ideas....

I've been looking at the big trend of patchwork and ginghams everywhere on many sorts of products at the moment.Today I have been trying to explore the use of this but making it look abit different but still commercial enough to go across the products I need it for. I had an old artwork of text that was on black and although I like it and think it is quite striking it's really not right. So I took that re-coloured the background and knocked the text colours back a bit. I then worked on a couple of new ideas which I can then use as starting points. Having a busy patchwork character on quite a plain simple background then doing the reverse....

Star Chamber Work....

At the end of last year I worked with Star Chamber to get their new single published.....here's the results that were pressed along with the flyers and posters that were printed for their launch date/party. I will photograph the final CD too.
The new logo was put across alot of product from badges and t-shirts to wristbands and even on the drums which I'm really pleased about.

Beth and Robs Wedding Invitations....

heres a jpeg of the artwork




Not the best two piccies and I will add some more when i find some better ones...these are the save the date and wedding invites of one of my friends. I created for them last year, along with all teh usual evening,replies,seating plan etc etc....I ended being so pleased with the splash on the invite that I have been using it since as my logo...

My header

Well I'm nearly there with it, but I haven't got the right programmes at home at the mo so I'll have to come back to that one...just can't quite get it to the right size to fit the box

Some recent birthday cards...

These are a set of commissioned personalized birthday cards that I recently created

New Robins....

This is the latest robin I've been working on...really liking this at the mo.

Robins and Reindeers....

I'm doing alot with robins and reindeers at the mo...

This is the original of the first one with tweeks...

heres the second one...not a great photo I know

Working for a greetings company and in the Christmas studio means I work on christmas all year round. I've been trying to explore new ideas but I also still have to keep it commercial. I'll start putting up some of the recent things I have been working on and add older work too. This is one of 4 which I have been working on...I have mocked them up onto silver foil board to give them a satin look which you can't see so well in this photo.

Thought it was about time i started a blog.....

With the different work and crafts I do and along with all the wonderful inspiration I keep finding I thought it was about time I started up a blog to keep a record of it all...so bare with me while I get started. It may take me a while to get to grips with it all,hopefully not too long.
