mistaking clouds for mountains

Yesterday I snuck out of the house with Jon to see Andrew Bird and his clever musician friends huddle around a microphone and perform beautiful 'old-timer tunes' in my local record shop.  Front row seats (of the cross-legged on the floor variety.  The best variety).

let justice flow

I've just uploaded some images to my website (currently under construction, so please forgive its slightly unfinished appearance!) of some t-shirt designs that I produced for the lovely people at CAFOD last year for their Let Justice Flow campaign.  I had a lot of fun working on these, so I hope you will like them!

bristol, i love you

BUNT

So glad this is finally finished!  After a few minor disasters in the screen printing realm, I have completed my piece of wooden bunting for Bristol's BUNT exhibition, which will be hosting around seventy of these exciting triangles across four venues (Arnolfini, At-Bristol, Colston Hall & M Shed) from June 9-17.  I've seen some rather spectacular ones, and can't wait to see them all together!

and the winner is...

Thank you to all who entered my bag giveaway and left lovely comments!  

I was delighted to send the first of the two screen printed tote bags to caro's cakes, my one hundredth follower, whose blog is well worth checking out for the many delicious looking cakes and recipes gracing its pages!

After giving my favourite yellow hat a thorough shake, and pulling out one of the small bits of folded yellow paper, I can declare that the winner of the second bag is...

Well done Holly!  If you send me a little message with your address details, I'll stick one in the post for you!

taking shape...

Currently designing a piece of wooden bunting for Bristol's forthcoming BUNT exhibition, for Bristol's Big Green Week.  Each wooden triangle, designed by lots of different illustrators, will depict an endangered or threatened species found in the South West.  I have chosen to screen print the Cornish Chough, and am looking forward to giving him a glorious red beak...if I can only get the drawing right!!  I will update you with my progress...(eek).

In other news, it's your last chance to enter my little bag giveaway!  Just post a comment here for your chance to win a hand-screen-printed tote bag.   I will be deeply flattered.

I hope you're all having a glorious sunny day!  I will be getting a taste of the sunshine at the recycling centre (exciting, I know.  It is worrying how much I am looking forward to ousting the huge mound of recycling that has been slowly taking over our kitchen while the car has been out of action.  We cannot move for empty plastic bottles).
