Wedding Keepsake

Its the season for weddings and we all know someone that is getting married this summer. I have hand decorated these heart trinket boxes with 'Mrs & Mr'. An ironic twist on the saying mr and mrs meaning the woman wears the trousers. I can also offer personalied messages and intials of the happy couple and even the date. A lovely keep sake for the day that the couple to keep their rings in or sentimental items from the day. Also personalised idea for the bridesmaids with their individual names on to thank them for being part of the special day. They are available to purchase and order from my etsy shop.

Man Mug Collection

Whilst in the process of moving and working full time, I have tried to fit in as much art as I could over the last two months. Having a few events coming up and thinking about fathers day, I thought it be nice to cater for the men and give them something to have and to hold. The ideas started following and I got creating...

Busy in the studio, I have been hand painting a new range of tankard mugs for the male species with illustrated designs great for father's day or any other occasion. I also cater for personalised designs, so if you have anything in mind and would like to contact me to create something unique and personal just email me on the below address:

Each mug holds half a pint of tea, coffee and even beer. Not all at once of course :) If you would like to order in time for father's day or have a birthday coming up for the hubby, boyfriend, brother, uncle or granddad then get in touch. All orders are gift wrapped :)

Sheffield Artisan Market

A busy week preparing for the Sheffield Artisan Market showcasing my wares. This was my first visit to the city and apart from the whirlwind fun of the windy, it was a lovely day  I had a lovely response from the day and some new fans of my work. I thought I would share some of the photos from the day and see if you can spot some new pieces available. 

If you would like to order any of my wares from the day or even interested in following me then check out my etsy page or email me for more. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Bearinminddesign?ref=hdr_shop_menu

A design for life

There are two sides to my creative story, on the one side is the illustrative bespoke handmade designs and items, the other side is graphic design and branding. My portfolio consists of logo designs, flyers, brochures, leaflets, invitations and business cards.

Work in Progress - Sneak Peeks

I have recently been working very hard networking and not updated my blog for a little while. Balancing a day job and then putting your all into your night job can be a very long and pressuring time. At times you feel your not getting anywhere, other times you receive some lovely feedback it keeps you going. I believe in what I do and with this I keep on going each and every day with or without the motivation, I get up and work on. 

I have been getting some new designs together and would like as much feedback as possible. I am a designer and work with a variety of mediums. I am looking to putting together some ranges so my new work will all tie in together. I have attached a few sneak peek pictures so you can see what ive been up to :)

Christmas Fair and Market

Christmas is just around the corner and to get in the spirit, I took part in the Christmas Fair and Market at The John Gober Centre in Hucknall, Nottingham. It was a busy turn out with lots spending their evening enjoying the event with music by the choir, food and lots of fun things for the kids.

My stall showcased some new work along with some previous stock and it was admired and loved. On show was my latest LP record art that I have now progressed into Clocks which seemed to be very popular. Another favourite were the screen printed baby vests that were designed and screen printed by myself in my studio. I have shared some pictures of my stall and the event. If anyone is interested in any of my items or a commissioned piece, i.e canvas wall art or LP art/clock then feel free to drop me an email:

Let it be Summer

Whilst listening to the rain today, I started an illustration piece for a Zine's Spring/Summer edition. I thought I would be a bit fruity and make humor of the recent weather situation. Here is what I make from pen and watercolour :)
