Susie is one of my ladies who attends my crochet class at Hornsey Library. She has been involved with putting on an event with a bunch of food bloggers called Blaggers Banquet, and even blagged me into screen printing up a whole bunch of tote bags to give away as their guest’s goodie bags! I wonder what’s in the bag for me!

Print Monger

On Sundays, get yourself down to the Back Yard Market, off Brick Lane, where you will find the Print Monger, the stall for Print Club. You may also occasionally see me down there running the stall with some of my own prints!

How much is that kitty in the window?

IMGP2583
I have recently entered the world of Olive Loves Alfie, a lovely boutique on Church Street, in Stoke Newington. It has everything I could wish for, bright vibrant colours, patterns, stunning design and japanese influences and a sense of magic in the clothing, accessories, toys, prints and products. Only thing is, its meant to be for little children, and I keep forgetting that at age 30, I am now supposed to be a grown up, and can’t fit into those cute tiny t-shirts! To my fortune, owner ( and former Red Or Dead shoe designer), Ashlyn Gibson spotted me wearing one of my felt cats in her boutique and thought they would be perfect to sell in her shop! My felt printed cats now hang in the window, waiting for small (and big) children to take them home...

Budgies for the love birds

An old friend from my art school days, got married at the weekend. It was a lovely barn wedding full of bunting, dancing, casks of ale, and plenty of food for us campers on the farm! Emma and Terry asked on the invite for presents, if any, to be handmade, so I screen printed them a pair of budgies.

A Little Bazaar...

Last night I took my hand screen printed felt cats on their first outing, down to The Albany, in Deptford for A Little Bazaar. I shared a stall with two lovely and creative ladies Parusha & Anita, and together we had a wealth of vintage, design and hand made craft on our table! We had lots of fun dancing about to a great DJ set, ate glitter cupcakes from the next stall, and tested punters on their bartering skills! My cats had a fair amount of interest, so I thought it was time to share them with you! If you would like to buy one, please email me!

Thank you Parusha & Anita and A Little Bazaar for a fun evening. x

Limited Edition Screen Printed Book

The last month or so has been a hard slog. For some mad reason I decided to hand screen print a book. A selected collection of my bus drawings. With it being themed around my journeys on the 43 bus, I thought I should make 50 copies, just to round things up.
The first few pages printed off in their multiple copies was quite enjoyable - I can really say that I have the hang of screen printing now! Currently with my two small screens, I have had to re-coat for each different page, hence this process has seemed like forever.
But finally I can see light at the end of the tunnel, I have two more inside pages to print and the cover is half done! I don’t yet know exactly how many copies I will have, as there have been a few slip ups here and there. The next fun part will come with the folding of 300 pieces of A4 into A5, and then the binding...
Please email me if you want to reserve a copy, once they are gone, thats it! I won’t be printing this again!!

Look how amazing Matt is...
