And I'm so glad that 2011 has already started to feel different. The last two weeks in the studio have been spent planning the year ahead, keeping sight of our personal and professional goals (much the same, really), making the studio a more beautiful place to work, and most importantly... designing. I'm so excited to announce that we've got a whole suite of new designs about to be released, and ideas brewing for new ones - with a focus on pushing the boundaries a bit more.
Here's a sneak peak at a couple of new designs in the works, and how they came to life:
Flowering gum pencil sketches, drawn from some locally gathered specimens
Yellow flowering gum specimen, and the new print...
Little forest sketches and new print...
Can't wait to get these onto fabric!

This week I am liking:
- The look of these ceramics classes. Going to sign up for one soon when finances allow!
- This photo from the floods.
- Quince Homewares who I visited today and had a lovely chat with Michelle.

Oh Lara I am in love with the flowering gum print already! It looks beautiful. So delicate. I can see it as stunning wallpaper... the colour choices are spot on. Love it! So glad there will be more designs this year too.

The flowering gum is so well drawn and will look amazing on fabric. Lovely!
It looks amazing so far. I love the color choices and the detail of each flower. Can't wait to see the final product!
