Selvedge issue 34

Hooray! Today I finally got my hands on a copy of this months Selvedge magazine, the 'Romance' themed issue...
Pages 76-79 feature a little interview with me and some photos of my studio which is really an honour so a huge thank you to Polly and the girls for featuring me.

I was delighted to see Emma Cassi's beautiful jewellery is featured, giving us a sneaky peak at her elegantly styled home...such a talented lady!

A Girly Interior In London

Very excited to open the little parcel that was sent to me last week containing the Japanese book 'A girly interior in London' that featured a shoot at my old flat and an interview I can't read because it's in Japanese!

The book was styled by Emma Cassi, jewellery and styling extraordinaire!

It was really fun to have the team round making things look nice in my rather bizarre old bedroom...would have preferred slightly to have had it in my new one but hey ho! I would guess a lot of time went into painting those wardrobes so it's nice that they can be appreciated so far afield!

Thank you to Emma for choosing to include me in such a beautiful little book, and to Aya Nomura for writing, what I'm sure is a nice little account of me and my room.

The book is published by Editions de Paris.

Kids Modern 2010

Head to Dulwich College this Sunday, 18th April, where I'll be showing some work at the fab 'Kids Modern' show. The show features all kinds of product and clothing design for kids, aimed at parents who want something a little different and more imaginative than the average kids shop offers.

A fun day is planned for all with workshops and activities, food, music and beautiful things to fill your homes with.

Sunday April 18th

Embroidery feature

Months back I was interviewed by a lovely lady, Susie Johns, for a feature in Embroidery magazine, the publication of the Embroiderer's Guild.

I had no idea how big a feature they would make of my work and was totally blown away to discover that not only do I have a 6page spread, but my little butterflies adorn the front cover!

Wow! Thanks so much to both Susie and Jo Hall at Embroiderer's Guild for the coverage, I am delighted!

Little Birds

Available from April...this very cute little book I contributed a project to.

Filled with a variety of really sweet little sewing projects all on the theme of birds! It's published by C&T Publishing and available to order here :

More on the book when I receive my copies!

Touchstones Rochdale

Finally managed to get some photos up of the Creatures Show at Touchstones. They did such a wonderful job with the display, lining old drawers with beautiful wallpapers to display Julie Arkell's pieces and creating a little 3D forest for my creatures to live in.

It's still on for a few more weeks if you're in the area.

They have also very nicely chosen a piece of my work to feature as the cover for the March-August information booklet, very pleased indeed!

A break from the birds...

I've been working on some new things which went into an exhibition now open in Rochdale at theTouchstones Gallery...

It's a delightful little show of creatures from Samantha Bryan, Julie Arkell, Anya Keeley and me, on until 18th April.

As part of the exhibition I was asked to do some large scale painting on the walls...something of a feat for such a little person who works so small!
I had such a wonderful experience meeting such friendly people and taking part in something so lovely. I hope to get some photos up of the whole show soon but for now here are some little peeks at the new pieces...my little squirrel friend is incomplete I feel...lacking something such as a wee red waistcoat perhaps?!
