Considering Cafe Press
August 18th, 2011
Pondering on selling through Cafe Press. For a while now I’ve been really keen to get my designs onto ceramics but a little stuck as to how to start the process without massive upfront costs (and a living room stacked with unsold goods ala Del Boy!) One design: Sunset Forest, which will also soon be
New ScreenPrints
November 8th, 2010
This is something I don’t do nearly enough of: a nice straight forward, single colour print! I must have spent far more time drawing this design than actually printing it. Simply a composition of my favourite themes and shapes – flowers, leaves and birds. I call it ‘Feathers and Flora’. The rubbish mobile camera shots
Retro Fun at the V & A
August 28th, 2010
I’m back! (sort of) The baby has arrived (she’s great – all is well) and I’m supposed to be on maternity leave but, 3 months in, I’m getting twitchy and need to be creative again! When the little one was a mere 4 days old, I received a call from a nice chap at the
Retro Fabric Deliciousness
January 21st, 2010
Still on the look out for nice nursery curtain fabric, I stumbled across Fabric Inspiration which is host to a terrific collection of original (I think) fabrics from the 60s and 70s.

FiFi & Cardigan Shop on the Shore – last week
August 10th, 2009
Yesterday I popped into the Fishing Quarter Gallery on Brighton seafront, which is hosting a delightful ‘pop up shop’ by FiFi and Cardigan. It’s only open for another week so I’d get down there sharpish if I were you. I purchased a lovely beach cushion and bag in my favourite Fiona Howard (FiFi) patterns. As
Pattern Designs for ASDA
August 3rd, 2009
At last I can now share with you a job I completed a few months ago. Elmwood commissioned me on behalf of ASDA (huge supermarket chain, for all you non UK visitors) They needed new artwork for their own brand facial tissues. The first pics show the cube box design followed by the flat box
