Pretty Paisley

The wallpaper blocks are coming out.....meet Cachemire. She's beautiful.

 I laid out the two panels I printed this morning - Baron and Cachemire. One very ornate and detailed, the other a bold statement. Two sugars in my coffee please.

Hello August:Enter the birds and peacocks

Just a few sneak previews of the work Im up to this week other than the custom orders and stock building:

A big batch of parakeet drawstring bags
These drawstring bags are so pretty, I printed and sewed about forty of them and attached a gorgeous porcelain bead with a  vibrant cherry blossom pattern to match my red ink on the string pulls. These are destined as free courtesy give aways - I often include a gift with purchases such as  hampers from my shop, and Ive just run out of the last batch of stuff. Its a sweet touch that shows you value that person buying something from you.



And a nice variation on my blue and white starry owl hamper: Snowy Owl for winter 2013. Ive just finished printing these panels, white pattern on the most beautiful thick silver grey linen. I only sourced one roll so I will only be able to make a limited amount.
And finally the belle of the ball: Peacock Eden...didnt she turn out well?
