owls!

The lovely Fiona from Soma Gallery sent me a surprise package of goodies! I got lots of things from her stand at Pick Me Up as well as a little bundle of soma labels with my owl design!

Don't forget that you can also buy the wrap I created for Soma here

Knitwear!

The lovely Hilary Grant came all the way from Orkney to launch her new knitwear collection at 86 in Glasgow. The collection had a huge variety of patterns, scarf styles, gloves and ........ here's a very small peek of her new hats!

Glamour Monthly Horoscopes

I am lucky enough to be illustrating the Glamour Magazine horoscope for a whole year! Every month will feature a different look from the current season.

The illustration at the top is for the October issue of Glamour. It features a Comme des Garcons coat and some Tatty Devine shades.

The second illustration was from last months September issue and features looks from Carven AW 2012.

new wrapping paper!

Lots to catch up on! firstly here's my new wrapping paper designs which you can buy from the Wrap Magazine online shop. There are blue peacocks and pink kings!

Dancing Bears on the Loose!

A few weekends ago my ace friend Libby was helping to run the Gibson Street Gala (part of the Glasgow Westend Festival) so I decided to run a 'make your own dancing bear puppet' workshop. Glasgow is now overrun with bears....which is no bad thing...

sixty years of colour

Anyone who knows me knows I have a little bit of an obsession with the HRH Queen Elizabeth II. For years I have been meaning to start my illustration project focused on the Queen's hats, but I think I may have missed the boat as lots of others have been charting the Queen's sixty year fashion story. Two of my favorites were the colour chart put together by Vogue (above) last month and also the colour swatch card put together by Leo Burnett and Pantone. (thanks to @PollyAnders for showing me the swatch card!)

You can read more about the swatch card on Yatzer.

Puffin

Finally recieved my copy of the Puffin Classics edition of 'The Phoenix and the Carpet' by E. Nesbit! Very happy!
