9 Fabulous Illustrated Pillows

Hi guys!!

Lately I'm really digging what I call 'hipster' home decor. You know, white walls with pops of bright colour, mismatched, quirky accessories and the occasional piece of refurbished 70's furniture. You know?? The kind of place that might house a trendy graphic designer or crafty collector of mason jars!

Are you with me? Just in case you're not here are some examples.

One of the things I love about this style is that pretty much anything goes! Funky illustrated accessories can hang out with bold graphic throws and that old dated couch suddenly looks cool again with those unusual cushions you bought from that place you can't remember the name of! 

If you're looking to liven up your couch and you happen to like this style then you're in luck!
I've done a bit of digging around the DENY Designs website today and put together a list of 9 pillows that are just perfect for adding a bit of fun to your living room!

1) 'Bright Roses' - Aimee St Hill                           6) 'Technicolour Raindrops' - Fimbis
2) 'Cross Out Black' - Wesley Bird                       7) 'Banquet of Flowers Love' - Julia Da Rocha
3) 'Illustration' - Aimee St Hill                               8) 'Girl' - Aimee St Hill
4) 'Triangle Seas' - Pattern State                          9) 'Dreamer' - Holly Sharpe
5) 'Honaw' - Kris Tate

All these fabulous throw pillows (with the exception of pillow number 8) and more are available right now at DENY Designs.com so head over and take a look!

Until next time, happy decorating!! :)

Spoonflower Weekly Contest: Stars & Stripes

I had a lot of fun creating my design for this week's Spoonflower contest so I thought I'd post the sketches!

If you're wondering what the hell kinda fabric would be covered with drawings of David Bowie I'll tell you.

This week Spoonflower challenged it's members to come up with a design using stars and stripes.

I'm sure this theme is meant to conjurer images of red, white and blue, pictures of eagles, flags and Uncle Sam; a design bursting with American patriotism. Of course there's nothing wrong with all that (especially this close to the 4th of July) but I am not in fact American. Being a non American I saw this as an opportunity to step outside the box and inject a little of my own home turf into the stars and stripes. And so I give you.......

STARDUST!!!!!

I won't exactly be making my next party dress out of it but I figured it might make a couple of cool, kitsch cushions!

London 2012

The Olympics is nearly upon us!! I am personally very excited for two reasons. The first being that it's all taking place in my home town and secondly because I've managed to bag myself some tickets!!!

I thought it would be fun to launch a set of products in honor of the Olympic games and the fabulous city hosting them!

You can find these products and more here
This also seems like a good time to introduce my cases for iPad 2!

When Monkeys Attack!!!!

These are a bit old now but as I recently had them photographed (and since they helped me out in an interview earlier this month) I thought I'd resurrect them!

These were designed as Christmas presents for my sister and a close friend.......for last Christmas, don't worry I'm not spoiling the surprise!!

I'm thinking of designing some more (less personalised scarves) based on one or either of them. They both kinda have a story so I thought I'd share it with you :)

The scarf below was designed for my sister and is about my sister. To be honest I could spend all day telling you what everything means but you'll have to be satisfied with the dragon for now..............

I should explain first of all the sort of child my sister was. She was incredibly neurotic. Everything was scary; rain, elevators, clouds, monkeys (that one is completely rational of course, monkeys are always on the prowl on the streets of London, ready to claw off your face).

Add another 20 fears to that list and you might be able to understand just how concerned my sister was about her safety from day to day. What made this worse was despite her concerns she was also incredibly accident prone. This meant that the rest of my family had to constantly think up ways to console her when she came running into the kitchen yelling things like, 'Mummy have I got brain damage?!', after tripping down the stairs and crashing into the wall.

One of my favourite 'distract-Grace-from-her-own-thoughts' methods was the introduction of a wooden dragon to the ceiling above her bed. An idea which was cleverly thought up by my Dad (who no doubt longed for the days when his sleep wasn't disturbed by an irrational 6 year old yelling about monkey attacks).

You'll be pleased to hear that despite their best efforts, the monkeys never did attack our bedroom!    

The second scarf is slightly more self explanatory...............

Basically, I have a friend, who by her own admission is pretty vain. I considered just buying her a mirror but then I thought, what's better than one reflection of yourself?! A whole bunch of reflections!!!!

Much love as always to Grace and Juliette xx

Doodlings of the day!

For those who don't know, I'm something of a 'maximalist' when it comes to design! After deciding last week that i'd endeavour to create some new scarves i went in search of inspiration and found it! today it came in the form of Japanese school girls! Click here to see more 'maximalist' designs by me :)
