envelope patterns

envelope patterns, originally uploaded by lusummers.

i was inspired by skinny laminx's post about envelope security patterns...it reminded me that my lovely friend kathy send me this design this week because it's hard to get hold of, (well, for me anyway :) it's originally quite a dark green but i messed about with it to create some new colours...lovely! this design also comes in dark green with a white background...

nice words

two pieces of nice blog posting this week, firstly from a new find for me, dear ada, which is a brilliant blog full of really interesting arty finds, i have bookmarked it for regular reading. the other is from the ever wonderful print + pattern. interestingly, they've both chosen to showcase my black and white drawings...anyway, as always, i'm thrilled and honoured to be featured on such high quality blogs, thank you both!

last but not least a quick shop update, another sketch entitled 'tie ends', about to be posted in a minute. happy tuesday, folks!

predicting great things...

for susy jack, a lovely talented boston (boston u.s., that is) gal. she's already been on a few blogs, but she's gonna be on a million more, because her work is gorgeous. her fairly new etsy store is full of fresh, bright patterned notebooks such as the ones above. susy also has a new(ish) blog, full of delicious photos and the latest news on her fledgling business. well worth a look for anyone thinking of starting their own indie business, it's a really interesting and entertaining read. so snap up her fabulous stuff before she hits the big time!
