Merry Christmas Everyone! christmas card design paper cut out angel snowflake sequins I created this paper cut out with plain card and some shinny plastic snowflake sequins and then photographed it. This was one of the designs for a client, Bragard UK, that didn’t get used so I turned into a card for all…
I created this fascinator using tulle, netting, chain, studs and gold lamé. It has a hair clip on the back for easy fastening and looks bloody fabulous on pretty much every head, especially one with great volume to their hair. I wear mine as much as I can, down the pub, out dancing in a…
I was asked by the Vintage Showroom of Notting Hill to design and make some feather headdresses for a fashion shoot to help promote a denim manufacturer at Barcelona Denim Premier vision show on the 18th-19th of May. Doug at the Vintage Showrooms was the creative director and did an absolutely stunning job with…
Vintage Kids Book Illustrations I was helping my mum sort out her books when she moved house and we found a load of old books that belonged to my granny from when she was a child. I really love the illustrations and have used them in graphics. I used one of these in a record…
When I was growing up my mum took us on foraging trips where we’d pick Chanterelle mushrooms and edible leaves like wild garlic, Samphire seaweed. We picked muscles oysters and caught crabs.

A picture I took of a giant bubble engulfing my dad on the beach in Abersoch, Wales. It’s down the steps from the house we stay in called Rock End. My dad has been going every summer since he was a kid and the same for me. I learnt to swim in the sea…
Guest Blog Post – 26th November 2015 Frank Lloyd Wright’s so-called Fallingwater House rephrased the expression ‘organic’ in the history of architecture. His creation does not only borrow shapes and materials from nature, but actually becomes one with it.

Stock Imagery is often rubbish. 99% the images on istock and shutterstock is cheesy or cliche, especially when it comes to images of people. Moonpig have a range of cards that allow you to upload your own images into the design. When I was creating them a range of photo upload cards I needed to find…
