Two posts in two days?! Told you I’d missed blogging! Before I disappeared, I told you I’d share some of my wedding designs once my big day had been and gone… This heart (click for larger version) took me hours and hours to complete. When it comes to designing, it transpires that I am my … Continue reading
Since my initial Colour of the Year post at the beginning of December, we’ve entered into the actual Year of Turquoise (♥), and Pantone have pinpointed some more turquoise products — this time it’s kitchenware, available from Cuisinart and Le Creuset. I actually saw some of the turquoise Le Creuset range last weekend whilst shopping … Continue reading

Since joining the company, I’ve been designing a lot … Continue reading
How many of you have previously encountered a Rubik’s Cube? I’d hazard a guess at every single one of you.
