This week I’ve had a giraffe drawstring bag commission to work on so I’ve been printing mainly on fabric. While I was at it I decided to play around with a couple of other blocks.

My bee and penguin prints have proven very popular so I wanted to see what they’d look like as bags. Here’s what the fabric is looking like. Check back soon to see the results after seeing or subscribe to my mailing list to have updates straight to your inbox.

For anyone who doesn’t know me, I eat, sleep and drink printmaking. Whatever I do, I do it to the best of my ability and printing is by no means the exception.

Art has always been an important part of my life. At the age of 8 I was already hooked on drawing - a skill that I am still improving. It os a vital part of me transforming ideas in my head into reality. I often start with observational drawings and then ‘doodle’ around the subject until I come to my own version of what I see. Some designs come from direct observation and others are more stylised. It all depends how I feel at the time.

About a year ago, my very understanding and supportive husband agreed to the remodelling of our back yard, which included demolishing the garage and out buildings and constructing an art studio attached to the back of the house. This place is my happy place - my haven - and I feel exceptionally lucky to have it.
