Flock

Hand printed birds on soft, white cotton.

I love printing the fabric for the shop - if you have a custom colour you'd like to see, send me a message. This turquoise flock of birds are flying to their new home in Alaska today!

You can find more of this print in stock here!

Pewter and Gold

Indian Woodblock in Pewter and Gold

Some fresh designs up in the spoonflower shop - I scanned in the Indian woodblock print, made it repeat nicely and added some colour. These two are Pewter and Gold and there’s a Sapphire one too!

Red, Turquoise, Indigo

Night Sky with Pines & Cranes (bottom), Evening Sky (top left) and Morning Sky (top right).

I’ve been working on some new colours for the Pines & Cranes pattern. At the bottom in this image is the original - Night Sky with Pines & Cranes - and I've added the red version 'Evening Sky' and turquoise version 'Morning Sky' to the spoonflower shop!

Hand Printed Waves

I made another of these hand printed pouches (now in the shop). This ancient asian motif is one of my favourite patterns. It represents oceans and waves and is a really good one to print - it’s a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle :)

Shibori Dip

I've been sewing the shibori fabric I dyed into these pouches. They're a good size to use as an accessory organiser, cosmetics bag, or to hold your phone, keys, cash and cards on an evening out. Inside, there is a pocket running the length of the pouch and they're available here!

Swapsies

'Journey' by Nicky Linzey

A (very long) while ago Nicky sent me a print of some of her work for no other reason than I'd said that it was beautiful. I'd been meaning to send something nice her way for ages as a thank you and just before Christmas I sent her the pouch below. I still look at the swallow print everyday and I still love it, thanks Nicky!

Forest & Sea is 6!

Six years ago today I started this blog! I've learnt so much along the way by joining in with online contests, making my designs available for sale and finally last year opening a shop. Thanks so much if you've been reading about it and commenting here, it's really made a huge difference to me. I'm so glad Forest & Sea is going strong six years on and that I'm still learning and enjoying it every day!
