My trip to London last month came just at the right time to provide me with a bit of inspiration!
Here are some of my latest May makes:
I was recently asked to make a clutch bag for a very soon-to-be-bride, which was a whole new direction for me! Thankfully the bride-to-be was thrilled so maybe Gingerbread Cupcake will branch out into wedding related clutches - who knows! Here is the finished product.
In other news, I went to a fantastic course recently - Printmaking for paper and textile products run by Helen Entwistle A.K.A Memo Illustration, where I turned one of my latest Summery designs into a screenprinted tote. I couldn't help but applique some fabric onto it though, and added a couple of upcycled buttons for good measure. I'd love to take what I learned further, and design and print my own fabric to then make into purses etc, but maybe that will happen when there are more hours in the day! Here is a close up of the Tote I made on the course:
There will be plenty more summer holiday inspired items coming shortly, to be unveiled at Reetsweet. I just cannot wait for Summer!!!!!!!!!!
Bye for now.
