Gravity and me

A little while ago (actually being more than a year ago) I made this drawing, originally intended to be used as artwork for folk and blues guitar duo Mellow Peaches, for their album 'I'll Go Down With This Ship'. I was really inspired by the rough mixes they played to me, particularly the song 'Gravity'. And the painting has now been used in a video for their song Ernest. Which you can watch here:

Pure silk camisoles


At our fashion show back in July, I hastily borrowed a couple of jersey camisoles having realised I hadn't anything for the models to wear underneath their cardigans. This resulted in me designing my own camisoles using reclaimed pure silk fabrics. More of these to come...

Clutch bags for spring

Just editing some photographs of my new range of clutch bags, complete with handles. There'll definitely be more of these to come. This particular bag is made from a piece of vintage hand-embroidery in a pretty floral pattern. One of my favourites!
