My collection of greetings cards launching on the 18th August on my shop as part of my Naive Joy collection.

[scrappilyeverafter]

Exciting news!!! My online shop is almost ready and will be launching on the 18th!!! I'm selling a couple of A6 greetings cards, A5 prints and a selection of my paintings from my graduate project.

Sign up to my fancy new email list (the link is in my bio) to get a reminder when my shop launches and future updates...

(It's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would because I was trying to understand recent tariffs and legislation. I've come to the decision to only ship within the UK for now. Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future, I will be unable to ship to the EU or the US. You can read more about this on my FAQ page).

A patchwork sample from my graduate collection. I created this with dreams in mind as part of the sub-collection, Dreaming in Colour. It is a combination of hand-screenprinted cotton (the green, grass texture) and second-hand scraps.

The last of my final lengths for my graduate collection, Naive Joy. This one is from the second sub-collection, Dreaming in Colour.

Again, I designed this one digitally in Photoshop.

The second of my final lengths for my graduate collection, Naive Joy. This design was drawn in repeat digitally in Photoshop inspired by one of my gouache development paintings.

Here's my first final length from my graduate collection, Naive Joy.

This is a hand-printed screenprint, but I designed the repeat digitally in Photoshop and then traced each layers.

You can find a video behind the scenes of me printing this design on my Instagr@m

Some stitch samples for my graduate collection, Naive Joy. These pieces are collages of my screenprinted linen and cotton experiments. The flowers are cut from my first length that I wasn't happy with.

A lil stitch sample from my sketchbook for my graduate project, Naive Joy.

This is a combination of free-motion machine stitch and hand embroidery. The background is a scrap from an old t-shirt coloured with watercolour.

Been working on some more design work and enjoying the spring flowers poking their heads up

My first long screenprint from the printing to the washing to the drying

I've been working on a repeat tile for this piece. I'm going to screen print it this week, fingers crossed it turns out OK!

I like bananas because they have no bones

I had an interview with a local paper this week about this rock snake I started on the longest street of a nearby city (where I work) because it's bringing people so much joy:

I said something during the interview that the interviewer seemed really shocked by, so in case it's important for anyone else to hear: When asked about the rock snake and some scavenger hunts that I've hosted for adults, I said -

"We don't stop enjoying the things we liked as kids; they just stop being offered to us. And when you're a kid, fun things like art projects and scavenger hunts are always brought to you, so you're not taught to make a habit of seeking them out as and adult."

She said "Wow yeah... life is so stressful... and you don't think to... wow."

So if anyone else needs direct permission to be a whimsical adult child today, I hereby grant it to everyone. ❤️
