I've just added some more screen print / collages to my webshop using vintage and retro fabrics from my huge collection.

New Scandinavian Flowers screen print

Vintage lamp makeover!

I've a passion for retro lamps - I often buy them at the boot sale and my partner re-wires them. I found this shade which I covered in some vintage children's fabric.

Clothkits dolls

I've recently made up the Clothkits Eskimo doll that I designed to see what it looks like. She can now join the other collection of Clothkits dolls that I designed a year ago.
