100% Design

jocelyn warner - this was the find of the day . i have seen the leaf and lily wallpaper around in various magazines etc. but it is the first time i have come across Jocelyn's new rug design. as you can seen by my work i love peonies . this was inspired by a photograph of the flower taken in Tokyo and it is a fantastic brand extension into rugs. i really hope it sells like hot cakes so we see many more !


Michelle Mckinney



Kathleen Hills - very clever work not just pattern but product design as well.



Helen Amy Murray - won't let me take a photo and i couldn't view her website so borrowed this image from mocoloco.com. i'd like an image of her peacock chair as it is exquisite (in fact i'd love to own it!)

Magscapes this isn't the best image to show how cool this stuff is but it's bascially magnetic wallpaper. they have started working with designers such as Lush design
lush who i meet recently at the Pulse trade show, lovely woman to chat to and great tea towels. i am seriously considering having my own designs printed on this magnetic material which isn't as expensive as you think. 13om width £65 per metre


Cole and Sons



love this Basso & Brooke designs at Graham Brown - it's on a new man-made non-woven substrate that means you just paste the wall and stick the paper on dry so no need for tables and pasting etc.






Clarrisa Hulse i was on upper st. on saturday in a store called Aria , and saw this work - it was nice to see the full range. new aria store - http://www.aria-shop.co.uk/

So Far So Near

Short Course

interactivewallpaper.co.uk







I recently went on a short course 'textiles for interiors'. It was great to experience other peoples methods of designing and always good to get inspired ( I got a bit obsessed with gladioli ) I don't think I will ever print these as they are pretty large for wallpaper but interesting to try to make it work. The tutor on the course is Rachel Kelly http://interactivewallpaper.co.uk/home.htm There is a selection of her wallpaper shown, so beautiful ! lovely simple website. (worth ordering samples)

This is my first post, I am going to use this blog as a resource to record all the amazing design work I see around me. Firstly however I am going to post some of my own work first sketches and scrapings of what I have been working on recently. More exciting posts to follow.
