For my major project I've decided I want to try and create my own brand 'Grapefruit and Sugar' with its own signature look - in doing this I want to do what seems popular at the moment and use the same pattern on a variety products: fashion, interiors, stationary etc. I've been gathering examples of companies who do this and some of the products they use. 

What I've been up to recently...

It's taking me a really long time to into my major project, so while i'm still doodling and searching for inspiration I thought I'd take some time to screen print some cushion covers and T-shirts. This will also help in giving me an idea of products I might like to create for Grapefruit and Sugar. 

Garden Museum and a stroll around London

Today I visited the Garden Museum, I had no idea this existed until yesterday but it proved to be a great source of inspiration. My favourite piece was a flower installation called 'Roses' by Rebecca Louise Law, it was amazingly beautiful, I couldn't stop gazing at it, it reminded me of Keiko Nishiyama designs in my previous post.

Keiko Nishiyama

I came across these prints on Susie Bubbles blog. I love Keiko Nishiyama designs, she has such a lovely style, owning one would be amazing.
