Whew, what a week! One new staff member (hi, Jenna!), two fabric launch events on Wednesday, and on Thursday, three guys arrived with saws and hammers to start a renovation to the upstairs studio. The prettiest part of this mad week (apart from Jenna) was the Flower Dreams launch at Space for Life on Wednesday morning …

Wild Flowers – they’re wild, but they’re sweet
This week, my Flower Dreams fabric collection is launching, and I’m so excited to share the centrepiece of the collection, which I’ve called Wild Flowers. Wild Flowers is a large-scale two-colour screenprinted design that manages to be lots of things at once: It’s a bit Japanese, it’s sweetly feminine, a little Folky, a tad popp-y, …

Flower Dreams…
I’ve been making this little animation for a while now, and am so excited to share it with you. My new fabric collection (launching later in April) is called Flower Dreams , and I thought a promotional animation was an excellent excuse to draw cute kids and kitties. Watch this space over the next little while for LOTS …

Animation WIP
Stop-motion animation is painstaking, back-breaking work. I did know this when I embarked on making a little promotional animation for my Flower Dreams launch (coming up 18 April), but I can be very blind to the facts when convenient.

Zafu
It’s Making Friday, but I’ve got a nasty chesty bug and am not up to much today. Also, I had a great Making Wednesday this week, so I think I’m allowed today off. Just this once! But before I bugger off home to feel sorry for myself (and probably tweet about it), I did want to …

Upstairs at Skinny
The space above my shop/studio has been vacated, and the landlord has kindly been letting me use it for taking photos of all my new fabrics. The light is just amazing! It may be heading towards Autumn here in Cape Town, but things came out distinctly Springy in my pics of the new Solid Orla …

Making Friday 15 March
Woah, that was one super-productive Making Friday, stretching all the way from Thursday afternoon til Sunday! Alongside the yoga workshops and hoovering (which are what weekends ought to be about) I managed to squeeze in two animations, the sewing of a zafu, and I made a cutout illustration for a charity auction at the Book …
