Evolution

Some designs just happen fast..... others you sit on like a hen on a egg.

When we began Umbrella Prints together Carly and I decided we wanted to go marathon rather than sprint with our designs, not for want of ideas, but for the enjoyment of really looking into just a few designs and finding the potential and the inspiration within them. We still feel we have barely scratched the surface of exploring our Elephants and the Fan Flower designs.

However, we are about to release two newbies (for meterage) and are pretty excited about what we can do with these designs. When I say newbies well that's not quite true. My new design first appeared in a small run of fabrics with Carly last year titled 'Sunshine and Snow'


and then in my exhibition Paper Cuts.


In that time the design hasn't changed much, but it has.... shall we say... grown a little bit.

Anyway here we go (just a snip of it), more soon when I have time
