Spring in my Step

Spring is here and the sun is starting to make an appearance, flowers are blooming and babies are booming. So to celebrate March, we welcome a new arrival to the family and I am all excited to be an auntie :) So I am back in the studio and creating new designs and preparing ideas for photoshoots as well as looking at new stockists and events. Looking forward to updating you on my adventures into the year for 2016. 

Spring time sunshine

The sun is shining and spring is on it's way. Looking forward to feeling the sun upon my face, the smell of fresh flowers blooming and grass being cut. My inspiration and ideas are flowing from my sketch book as I write to you in my blog.

I am currently in the studio in my spare time creating new products for this spring/summer and can't wait to get back into screen printing. As well as a new range of baby grows, I will be looking at creating an adult range of t-shirts fingers crossed. 

It is all go...ready for some events this year. Lets hope this is the year I finally come into full bloom. Keep following my adventures and share with your friends :)

Start of 2015

We begin with a new year and welcome 2015. Bear in Mind Design ended the last year with new products and two successful craft events in Derbyshire. This year will hopefully hold much more success and hopefully more opportunties. 

Getting back in the studio today, I have began the creation of my new design which I hope to turn into a range of products over the coming year. I also have a few more designs for my illustrated ceramic collections and more designs for my baby wear which will expand into more products. All exciting stuff. 

I am looking at getting more of my wares into stockists this year as well so I can get a wider audience reach. I will let you know the progress of this. In the meantime I am re-desiging the website and doodling to my hearts content. I hope you will stick with me to watch my progress and keep your eyes out for my new work.

Happy 2015!!!

Baby Retro Screen Prints

I have hand illustrated some designs for baby clothing using quirky illustrations and typography. The designs were then screen printed on to baby all in one t-shirts. I hope you like :) I would like it if you could comment on the designs below. 

If you want to order any of these designs then drop me a message. The baby all in ones come in a range of sizes from 0-24 months :)

Screen Printing Project

Screen Printing is something I got to try whilst on my Art and Design course at Halesowen College and really enjoyed it. It wasn't until I rented a studio at Staffordshire University in Stoke on Trent, that I got to do it all over again. 

I wanted to do some more screen printing but this time I have made my own screens and I am doing a handmade version of screen printing. This week I have been making and preparing the screens ready to expose my designs. The screens are drying as we speak. If you would like to know how to go about this process then I would be more than happy to share. 

I managed to get hold of some small screens and have stapled Screen Printing mesh to them tightly and then used Diazo Speedball Photo Emulsion to coat my screens ready for the next step. 

Here are some pictures for you to take a look at my progress.
