These sand mason worms construct fascinating little tubes from bits of shell and sand, like mini sand trees, which protect the worms and help trap food.

Hello! I wanted to let you know that I have a few of my scarf designs left if you are looking to jolly up an outfit this Spring. The bright colours and patterns are mood boosting and being printed on organic cotton, they are super soft and versatile.

As someone who also makes stained glass as well as designing pattern for textiles, I am fascinated by colour. From a holistic point of view colours are associated with the different chakras in the body. Chakras are known to be in balance or out of balance, and it’s possible to realign them with their associated colours. Crystals bearing these colours can be used to promote certain feelings and well-being, the vibrations of the colours benefit different zones in the body. For my textile designs I am drawn to bold and bright colours and looking across the whole range, it’s possible to see that they have a Mid Century Modern feel to them. If you are looking for particular colours with therapy in mind, this is a guide to help you decide where different colours are used throughout my Inkwell Designs collection.

When I was researching which fabric I wanted to print my designs on to, I looked at a whole range of textiles. In the past I might have considered silk, however since becoming vegan I wanted to be as insect friendly as possible as well. I’ve learned so much about the benefits of organic cotton as opposed to conventional cotton.

I’m so lucky to have grown up in Torquay, it’s a beautiful part of the world and somewhere I continue to spend lots of time. There are many local beaches which are very close to my heart, they are my happy place to be

We are off to Parallax Art Fair tomorrow to showcase our six scarf designs. The Art Fair will be located at Kensington Town Hall, and is open to the public from Saturday 18 Feb - Sunday 19 Feb from 11am - 5pm.

There is something about repeat pattern that makes my brain happy. With my stained glass work I appreciate the therapeutic qualities of colour, the flow of lines and the process of mark-making, and I have been able to incorporate these creative elements throughout my Inkwell Designs textile design collection as well.
