Good news is "Owl" news

I have just recieved an e-mail from Spoonflower informing me that my Laughing Owls design has made it into the Top Ten in this weeks contest. I don't know what position or how many votes it got... but it is good news worth sharing with you all immediately!
The above photograph is printed on "real" fabric... sighhh.

Imprint Collection

What a week... I think I have about 8 deadlines and all for the 30th June, roll on July that's what I say.

Apart from real work I also have Module 2 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design to contend with... and if I'm honest it's the thing I would most like to be doing! Such is life.

Well, I have managed to design a couple of collections and post them on Flickr above is a peep at some of the designs that I have created.

Bye.... back to work.

Soap and Paper Factory

Soap and Paper Factory based in New York is owned and run 3 very talented people. They create natural beautiful handmade products for your home and body. Each product is designed from "sketch to production line" that means the packaging too!

I chose one of their product lines which was designed for Anthropolgie. I used this collection of products to complete a "Deconstructing Collection" exercise for Module 2 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design. You can see my deconstruction here on Flickr. 

The packaging is wonderful and uses some fabulous surface pattern, see above. However I also fell totally in love with their work philosophy and their motto "Natural, Beautiful, Recyclable, and Reusable". Catch up on their website here.

Ohhh... what a lovely day!

Speacial thanks to Rachael for the feature and congratulations to everyone who has had their work showcased so far. Big BIG smiles :)
