  1. New Print to Order Products

    Comments Off on New Print to Order Products

    I constantly gather photographs to inspire my textile work particularly textures of decay and growth. I find beauty in these and I know many others are attracted to this, so much so, that the Japanese invented a word for it wabi sabi. I have a collection from my visit to London Road Fire Station prior to its renovation and an ever growing collection of moss, lichen and coastal textures.

    While laid up with a broken ankle, I have finally started to upload these to a couple of print to order sites; launching a Society 6 shop and updating my Red Bubble shop to include products featuring these textures from basic prints and cards, to homeware such as cushions and duvets, and even to clothing and accessories including bags, socks and masks.
