Cards to Match

Couple of cards to potentially go with two of the repeating patterns I've made recently.

Roses and Posies

I had a real desire to work on a floral print over the weekend, and so that's what I did today. :-) There's too many colourways of this to put them all up, but here's a few.

Vegetables (and fruits masquerading as vegetables)

Working on building up my editorial portfolio at the moment. Here's a single page spread (or possibly even a poster) featuring my personal hot-topic - vegetables*. Just one idea for using these illustrations, although I'm also tempted to make some soup recipe cards. Going to feature one with herbs next. Do let me know what you think.

*And veggie-fruits.

Hoots, Health and Heavenly Chocolate

Owl repeating pattern based on these little dudes.


And the cake I made for my Dad's b'day - choco-cherry cream:


But it's okay. I did juice and drink all of these* too:


I love all the funny little deposits the juicer shoots out:


*That's bigger than your standard bowl - it's a mixing bowl!

Kaleidoscope Stars

In a range of colours. :-)

You Are Invited To My Tea Party

I can't help but think this would make quite nice smooth, matte-finish wallpaper for a feature wall in a jazzy tearoom... Maybe? Or tablecloths. Curtains? More is more!

Ahem. Which colourway do you like? The olive-green has a distinct 1940s wartime feel to it I reckon. I decided to stick with a block-colour background and black and white illustrations, as all the cups and cakes and whatnot have a lot of detail, so didn't want everything to become too messy. But could experiment with line colour? What do you think?


Closer-up in golden yellow:


That (hopefully) subtle olive-green:


Duck-egg adoration:


A sweet and sugary coral. I think this may be my favourite...


You may recognise this teatime ensemble (bar a few cupcakes) from my website homepage. I thought I'd give them another lease of life to show them I care. ;-)

Butterflies and Colourway Dilemmas

A fluttery little print I've been working on today - question is: what colourway do you like best?! I can't decide myself...
