The A-Z of Flowers project

If you know my work or take a quick look around it will be pretty obvious that I love flowers, and LOVE making floral designs and patterns, so I was over the moon when I heard about 'The A-Z of flowers' project. 

The idea is simple, you create a design for each letter of the alphabet from A to Z each featuring a flower beginning with the letter you are working on. I can't wait to take part.. the tricky part is going to be deciding which flower to choose for each letter!

The founder Pattern & Co shared this great resource to help inspire. Find out more from Pattern & Co here.

Estella's Wall

Today I made a star for Estella's Wall, a project to help raise awareness of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) You can read more about the project by ceramic artist Lisa Stevens on the blog here.

The brief specified that 'Stars should be between 5cm and 15cm across and suitable to be displayed on a wall. Obviously stars will need to be child friendly, both visually and as I am hoping to create a piece than can act as sensory stimulation for the children at the hospice, the pieces will also need to be safe for small fingers...non toxic, no sharp edges, beads and buttons securely sewn or glued.'

I decided to make a fabric star in pale blue polka dot fabric, very child friendly and similar to the hearts (and stars at Christmas time) sold in my Etsy shop.

The simple string means it can easily be hung on a wall, however if they decide they want to attach it by other means it can be removed easily without damaging the star. 

I can't wait to see all the other stars as they are made and the wall when it comes together!

A second project is finished!

Finished off a second of my 4 projects yesterday, the VG Dance rebrand, you can check out the whole project here

Here are a couple of images of some of the final outcomes: new uniform, 4 poster designs, 4 leaflet designs & new website mockup

Really pleased with how the project has turned out, think the new logo is more up to date and the new designs better show the energy and passion of the school and its students
