New Paper Goods from Roger la Borde (a). . .

It is such a pleasure to hold the final product in my hands and to know that it is done right and the quality is good and that people will enjoy it... I love the way Roger la Borde put together the "Enchanting Forest" Letter set. It makes me want to write a couple of letters. I will blog the rest of the new Roger la Borde work shortly... but you could see it all here.

Tiger Dream . . .

I've got a new print to show you today! I hope it brightens your day.

Birds of Summer . . .

They start singing at 4:30 in the morning... just as I'm trying to fall asleep... and yet, I still like them. It means summer is still here:). They even made it into my latest pattern.

a Blooming Mind . . .

A new print to show you. Inspired by summer thoughts. Warm and happy thoughts that bloom like the summer flowers.

Southern Bloom . . .

South African blooming Proteas and birds of paradise...

my new floral pattern.

I've been starting most days in June with a line drawing in the garden.

What Kind of Bird are You? . . .

A new print to show you... in bright bold colours. My favourite:)...

June Watercolouring . . .

It's been a very dense June so far. When it's sunny I procrastinate (watercolouring, drawing, sitting in a swing) in a day time and work like a maniac at night (sleeping is a morning activity). I think this is my favourite month. 

a little LOVE print . . .

A little LOVE print to share with you today. There's always room for more LOVE!

FLOW - colouring book . . .

Coloring is for everyone! I liked it 35 years ago... and I like it still:). Thanks to Flow magazine I got to collaborate with my friend and fellow illustrator Carolyn Gavin on a very fun and different colouring book (that is now available via Flow web shop). 

a few pictures from Surtex . . .

 

Surtex was... as it always is... a blur... Gone in a flash. It's a few days during which I turn into an extravert and meet a lot of wonderful people. This year didn't disappoint. I've been home for almost a week... but I still feel like walking downstairs to grab a taxi to Javits Ceter. Anyway... the introverted creative life goes on. Here are a few pictures from the show:).

• Anais (my youngest daughter) came with me. Standing in front of Lilla Rogers Studio banner that was placed right at the entrance to the show.

• My lovely agent Susan McCabe - the best! 

• Flora Waycott, me, Sarah Walsh & Carolyn Gavin
