Recent work

I've been working on some new patterns lately. The first one came about after I was playing with some lined paper and cutting and folding it in certain places. I really liked the pattern it made. Hope you like them! I'd love to see them on stationery and notebooks. 

Talent Tuesday - Emma Robinson

It's been a while since I did a 'Talent Tuesday' so I'm really excited to share with you the talents of Emma Robinson today. Emma uses Instagram in a really beautiful way with stunning results. I'm going to leave it to Emma to describe her work as her descriptions are much better (and more personal) than mine! Needless to say, Emma's cats Sampson and Socks appear a lot in her photography and below you can see some striking, powerful photos of them - as well as some more relaxed ones!

You can follow Emma's photography on Instagram - @princesschem.

"I have always had a passion for arts and photography is my new found love. My attention to detail I owe to my dad, he is creative and a true perfectionist. I love to travel and my biggest passion of all is nature. Instagram opened my eyes to photography and inspired me to look at the world in a completely different light" Emma Robinson

"This image of my cat Sampson Bengal cross, brought a new light to what I could achieve with photography"

"Socks is my ginger and white short haired cat. The black and white photograph seems to captivate a sense of drama"

"The cat that got the cream! I love this shot as it captures Socks in action and makes me smile every time"

"I love the rich velvety colours in this capture! Giving it a beautiful feel. Socks is relaxed and naturally posed"

"Capturing The Fly in focus with a shallow depth of field was extremely challenging. I was delighted with the result, highlighting the incredible detail of the fly"

"Tractor taken at Summerseat. The bold bright primary colours give it a child like animated appearance"

"The canals of Amsterdam provide a perfect setting to capture symmetry and the reflection adds another dimension to the image"
