AD | sponsored post in collaboration with Figured Art I’ve loved painting for as long as I could hold a paintbrush and know first hand not only the therapeutic benefits

keep your eye out

Two weekends ago I paid this year’s Renegade Craft Fair a little visit. I’d always wanted to go, having followed all the beautiful fairs held in San Francisco, L.A, Austin etc and now living in London I had no excuse not to. It was a pretty inspiring trip all round and lovely to get opportunities…

I’ve been beavering away on lots of different projects recently, most of which I’m not yet able to share but this I can, as well as shamelessly plugging the event while I’m at it. I worked on some design material for the upcoming A29 Europe annual conference which will be focusing on the biblical mandate…

rosemarie auberson: colour

I pinned these a few weeks ago and decided I had to post them because I think they’re just so lovely to look at! I desperately want a huge version on my wall…maybe every wall! These gorgeously minimal collages belong to Rosemarie Auberson, a talented lady who is well aware that less is more. Check…

simple pleasures

A couple of Saturdays ago I had two old friends over to visit. It was their first trip to see me since moving to London and probably the last time I’d see one of them before she popped and had her little baby! It makes me feel old realising that weddings are now the primary…
