I'm back!

Phew!  I've been so busy the last few months, the poor old blog is neglected again!  I did Lilla Roger's Make Art That Sells Part A course in the Autumn, after doing the first module of The Art and Business of Surface pattern Design last Summer.   I've learnt so much and those two courses really helped me find my style so now I'm working on honing that more and hoping to start selling work this year.  Last year I had my first forays into selling my designs but I really want to make a leap this year into making design for a living.

Things are about to get super-busy again as I'm doing The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design Modules 2 and 3 this Spring aswell as Make Art That Sells Part B all on top of my two part time jobs (Am I an idiot?). 

I've been trying to create more placement prints, as I have previously only really made repeat patterns.  I'm having a whale of a time, just like these little forest folk!
