Cross Stitch Patterns Work in Progress!

Some time ago my sister talented designer and crafter (Emma Scott ) suggested that my illustrations would make great cross stitch patterns. After several months of hard stitching and pattern designing we've now got several collaborative efforts in the form of Trees, Birds, Hot Dogs and Christmas all live to buy and download on my Etsy Shop.

Here are some more designs in progress. If anyone has any favourites do let me know and we can try to launch these first (or are there any of my designs you'd like to make?!) I think mine are the Alice in Wonderland characters and the Meows!

Inner Circle Magazine Cover

Happy New Year everyone!

A few months ago I was back in touch with Inner Circle magazine (who I've illustrated for on several occassions). I created the cover illustration for the new issue of the online magazine (the magazine for alumni of Regents College). The new issue contains a story on the new school of fashion and textiles, but I wanted to stay away from the traditional images of fashion (models and high fashion clothes) as much as possible and focus on the making. To get this across I drew loads of giant bits of equipment such as sewing machines, scissors and an iron, to focus on the making side of things. You can see the whole magazine here.
