Here are a few more patterns that i have been working on.
I was walking to the village yesterday and happened upon this groovy bin in someones recyling.
Finding items like this is like finding treasure, for me anyway!

there is always something very rewarding about creating a single image and seeing it repeated! i have had alot of fun in the last couple of days making these fabric patterns!

i was rummaging about in my fave junk shop as usual this weekend and stumbled upon a box of 50's records featuring all the most famous operettas. when i opened it i discovered the most beautiful illustrations, i've added a bit of extra colour here and there, i'm tempted to print them as cards, what do you think? i am working on my new etsy shop, it will be filled with paper crafts, art prints of the originals that are on there at the moment and more, i'm even having some fabric printed, i can't wait!
