Studio Pouches on Redbubble

Redbubble has released some really great products recently including these studio pouches. Here are a few of my designs that work really well on them:

  Oyster Catchers | Octopus

 

 Snowboarder | Mount Everest

Pink & Black Box Pattern | Skier

Walk Man | Sakura Blossoms

Heart Pretzel | Chrysler Building

Think I might have to get the 'Walden', 'Chrysler' or perhaps the 'Walk Man' design which is based on a photo of a walkway or sidewalk I took in New York, love it!

Fashion Friday: Eley Kishimoto

     

 Loving Eley Kishimoto's patterns, minimalist style and comfort! How about those socks? Love them!

Spoonflower Patterns

Have you heard of Spoonflower? Its a place where you can upload your own patterns for sale as fabric, wallpaper, decals and gift wrap. I've been having fun getting my head around repeats, copying, moving and transforming in illustrator, it's harder than it looks!

 Here's a few of my patterns, they aren't all for sale yet, (as you have to buy swatches to proof the designs) but you can get 'Whales, Dolphins & Narwhals' and 'Small Grey Flowers' which I created a couple of years ago. My 'Froggy Life' design was created for this weeks weekly contest they have, it's based on the frog's life cycle from frogspawn to tadpoles, tadpoles with legs and their final transformation: frogs! I'll be releasing the other designs and some new ones for sale soon, so watch this space!

The oyster catcher birds are from another project I'm completing which has involved screen-printing and embroidery which I'll be releasing soon!

Fashion Saturday: Print Trousers

 

           Jil Sander Navy                                                                 Timney

I love a good print and they're just right for spring giving warmth, colour, hope, humor and a smile and when they appear on trousers even better as there's still freezing temperatures and snow where I am! Here's a few of my faves:

DVF x Current/Elliott Jeans                                  Sonia Rykiel 

                    Alexander McQueen                                        Alexander McQueen

                                     

Adriana Voloshchuk                                                          River Island

                            Marni                                                           River Island

This post was meant to be a Fashion Friday post but I was away all day yesterday doing exciting things, so it's become a Fashion Saturday post! 

{all exciting goings on will be revealed in a later post}

Fashion Friday: Mixing Prints

Marc Jacobs Resort 2013

 Mixing prints always seems like it would be a bad idea, too much going on and major clashing issues ahoy! but these can sometimes be a good thing, cue Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler and Dolce & Gabbana. Most of these images mix a striped pattern with a floral or aztec so I think the key is to use one simple(ish) stripe or checked pattern with a more intricate one.

Most of these were found using pinterest, I'm a little obsessed!
