My first design finally in the shops!

So iv been looking in Sainsburys for months! waiting for my first ever design to appear on the selves! and after battling the christmas shoppers this week it all paid off! there it was! I cant describe the feeling I got when I saw it hanging there! absolutely amazing to have something that I created for sale.

I was also thrilled and amazed to have been mentioned in Marie Perkins from Print and Patterns interview with MoYo magazine earlier in the month...please check it out if you have time :-)

Finding my design style...

I have really struggled over the last year or so to find my own design style/handwriting. I tried to be more commercial but ended up somehow losing myself throughout that process and as a result it showed in my work..Im now looking for a fresh start! its a long road and a huge learning curve but im trying to embrace my natural style, it may not be super amazingly on trend quirky artwork but its me, its bright and bold! maybe one day it will just click and thats it? but until then there will be many more sketches, doodles and colour palettes!

Feeling festive and really looking forward to spending some time with my family this year, especially after a stressful few months. My little girl Millie will be turning 2! so now that she understands more i have been enjoying telling her all about Santa.

Heres a few christmas prints i have been working on for commercial use.
