Miniature British Jubilee Collage

Because I was so pleased with my British Jubilee Collage I decided to make a miniature version.
This cute little box framed collage features many of the same things as the large one, such as buttons, ribbons, fabric and bunting but measures only 88mm (3 1/2") square.Very cute I think!

British Jubilee Collage

This box frame of Britishness has all you need to celebrate the jubilee and all things British this summer, made by me!
It features delicate paper bunting, buttons, london fabric, ribbon and screen printed british icons.
A perfect souvenir from the summer of 2012.
Available from my Folksy shop now, one of a kind so get in quick!

 Bus, phone box and stamp are all from my Best of British screen print.

 

 

London themed notice board

I finally got round to making this London themed notice board. Having drilled some holes in a square of chipboard ages ago, I had been looking for the perfect fabric to cover this board with and I found it in Millie Moon Haberdashery Boutique in Frome. The lovely London themed fabric features a Routemaster bus, london taxi, queen's guard and lots of other landmarks. I finished off the notice board using dark blue ribbon and some blue and purple split pins. If you're interested in purchasing my creation please get in touch, it's £20 + p&p.

Happy Saint George's Day!

Pick Me Up Exhibition Part 1

On Saturday I visited Pick Me Up, a Contemporary Graphic Art Fair at Somerset House in London. The exhibition runs until this sunday and is well worth a look if you're nearby!
The art fair featured mostly screen printed work, collage and illustration. It was a great place to get ideas and also buy some yummy prints for my house.
Here are some of my favourites from the day.

Jon McNaught has done some lovely nature inspired prints, and was featured in the Pick me up selects section.

Yoko Michishita was also featured in the Pick me up selects section of the show, She works mainly in pencil on these delicate drawings.

The next artists that caught my eye were Zim & Zou, a french duo who create beautiful creatures and three-dimensional artwork.

I was really looking forward to seeing some of my favourite artists, Peskimo. Here's one of their latest prints that they have on sale at the show, called Catnaps.

This is the Puck Studio section, who are a creative print studio from East London, they had a very creative stall area, which I managed to ruin by releasing one of the helium balloons by mistake! oops.

I have done a second colourway of my popular "Best of British" Screen print, This time each image is in either pinky red metallic paint or blue. Which do you like best? It's now available on my Folksy shop
