Hen Will I See You Again?...

Recognize this design? I have made full use of the wedding stationary imagery, and have created a set of chicken themed thank you cards...(The metallic purple paint is from the Pound Shop - who'd have thought!)


Clock, Paper, Scissors...

I've been doing some work for my big cousin and her toy selling company. The latest brief I have been set is to design some new toy clocks for children on the theme of princesses, clowns and pirates. Here are some drawings I am currently working on...





[Can you believe I almost went with "(Did you) Clock (the door)?" as the title of this post? Good job I came up with that extremely appropriate pun last minute...(ok, I added the scissors into the photo)]

Save the Date!

My recent big project has been designing and producing all the 'papery' things for my biggest sister's up and coming wedding. Here are here 'save the date cards'....



I then began designing the main invitations, having been sent an example of what she would like. I decided to test out some potato printing to add a personal touch to the invites...


...but then remembered I wasn't completely mental (this would have taken a few million months to achieve 60 invites...) (I exaggerate). 
So I then settled on creating a design, printing it out via man-made printing equipment and adding just a baby finger of personal touches...


60 invites, inserts and RSVP cards down. 60 evening invites, 60 more RSVP cards, 60 order of services, 100 place cards, 10 menus and a seating plan to go. 
What are baby sisters for! 

I shall post the full collection when it is complete :)


Oh How February Flies...

WHAT! Almost 4 months since I last posted? Not that this means I haven't been creative.. or busy. A move to the South has given me another half of the country to explore (never really travelled below the belly, so enjoying living on the smooth thigh of Suffolk), where I have been serving food, freelancing, and eating lots of cheesy puffs....


































..Also gave a home to this little critter (named "Boo", short for 'Bouken' which is Japanese for 'Adventurous') (She also loves cheesy puffs apparently).

I've also started a placement at a wonderful design studio called White Space, where I am very much enjoying the opportunities to be creative and thoughtful. Currently working on a little animation for a photography company, which I can hopefully post at some point!
