A repeat idea.

 A surface pattern idea I was playing around with last night. The stripes on the right hand side could form a pattern to complement the design on the left. Its still work in progress

A post about colour.....!

I love fresh, vibrant colour..... here are some of my swatches from when I've been testing out colours as I'm painting design ideas. I think theyre worth keeping to help me explore different colour combinations and to work from when doing designs on CAD.

Bob the 3rd!

This little puppy dog visited yesterday, cheered me up so much... all this job hunting is somewhat exhausting.
Thought i'd post this picture up, so it can make whoever sees it smile too! :)

A current mood board above my desk- love it! I'm a massive fan of Boden as you can see...

I need to stop staring at it though.... but who can blame me.... lovely bits and pieces!

Another cats idea for Birkett designs

Above is a design I developed, with a heavier CAD design focus.  Below is another design idea, also for ceramics. 

Below is the idea to go with my previous scotty dogs design.

I love russian dolls!

Really enjoying working on this new pattern. It is a project I am setting myself for my portfollio- I've seen russian dolls everywhere at the moment, they seem to be very much in fashion.

 

The Nutcracker ballet at Londons Collesium

 

I was fortunate enough to see the ballet at Christmas and was in awe with the performance, the colours and the costumes and seeing the magical story of the Nutcracker on stage was incredible. I now feel inspired to do something with ballerinas in a future project, perhaps for a girls birthday card!!

NEW scotty dogs

I had fun with these little scotty dogs!
At the top is the sketchbook page which was then developed.
