ORIGINAL PRINTS FOR SALE

Wednesday 28 May 2014

Hello everybody, since I last posted in here, I have been working on some new products and looking at how to go back to printmaking. I am getting more and more requests for some of my old prints, which I hardly show as this work is previous to chocolate creative.
I miss printing, specially etching, it is hard work, but very rewarding. I am printing some new big format prints silk screen, but I wish I could have access to a printmaking studio near me so I could carry on with my previous work. The main issue I have is TIME, where do I get it from? I run my little business on my own, and I am stretching myself to the limit sometimes. 
When people ask me what I do, sometimes I don't know how to refer to myself, as I work across so many disciplines, I guess I am a graphic designer (I still work on some magazine/books/branding projects), who studied Fine Art, specialised in Graphics, carry on with printmaking, and textiles studies, make and sell home-wares and art, oh well I guess I am a designer with a bit of everything...Oh and I forgot I am a business woman too, haha...!! 
I am selling some of my original prints, only a few left, as I sell them privately through friends and open houses. If you are interested or see anything you like, get in touch via email, (contact details on my website). Some are small scale, and I only have 1 left of the big one in B&W. Prices goes from £30 to £150.
I like the B&W look, but not necessarily just the minimalists look that comes with it, I like to introduce some pieces of wood and vintage finds to make it more homy and cosy. There are plenty of colour in my house, believe it or not!!

FLOWERS AROUND THE HOUSE

Tuesday 13 May 2014

Hello everybody, how is life out there? sometimes I wonder, as I don't tend to leave my house/studio or my local area, Peckham, for weeks. I Just wanted to share a few (bad photos, I am a rubbish photographer) of my space, after all I spend a lot of time in my house, as I work from here. I try to keep it tidy, clean and organised, otherwise I will easily go mental, well I am a tidy person by nature so it has to be that way anyway for me to feel comfortable and cosy. Sometimes I take random photos, specially if I am working on new designs, as I live with them before I decide to launch new products in my shop. New B&W print on the wall, (photo above).
Hunting down vintage treasures is another activity of mine, I use them to take photos of my own products, as I love the eclectic look of mixing old/vintage with contemporary, modern design pieces.
Flowers are a very important component of my daily life, I feel as if the living room – in special – is empty unless I have a bunch of greens or flowers going on. They don't have to be very expensive, I am happy with simple arrangements, but my favourites are peonies that I normally get from The Columbia flower Sunday market.
My garden is quite a disaster, the roses below, are one of the only survivors from previous years. One day when I have enough cash I will do my outside space, although that is not going to fix the fact that I am a totally NOT green fingers at all...maybe if I tried a bit harder, spent more time at it, and the rain decided to spare me a few good sunny weeks, I will managed to keep my flowers and plants alive, and perhaps grow some veggies...Anyone out here interested in teaching me about gardening? I will pay in home-wares goods.
I better get back to work on the new designs/products, that are taken me for ever to finish, news coming soon, Have a lovely and productive day!

A BOOK ABOUT BLOGGER'S HOMES AND A GORGEOUS GIRL'S ROOM

Tuesday 6 May 2014

Just a quick post to let you know about this gorgeous new book by Ellie Tennant, who has written and styled it, with photographs by Rachel Whiting. You will recognised some of the blogger's names and houses being featured it the book. I love how people create such cosy and personal spaces, by being creative, and resourceful. The end result is an eclectic style that is very in tune twith my own view on interiors and home. And needles to say that I adore this room (below), by one of the bloggers behind My Friend's House blog, I love how she has used some of my wooden pink knobs to finish the stunning yellow armoire, in fact I like everything about this room.
