Escaping from the front garden...

Acid green and more signs of Spring

Time to stand and stare...

I so loved this flower bed in town yesterday that I started taking photos with my mobile phone like a paparazzi in a frenzy! I have digitally manipulated some of the shots and they look like delicate watercolours.

Perfume and Symmetry

At Harvey Nichols I simply had to take this photo: I love perfumes, and this display is so chic and ethereal,...I could live in such a setting!

This week's vintage

Yesterday morning I walked into this wonderful vintage shop in Manchester, I looked around and I saw this great view onto the windowdisplay and quickly reached for my mobile phone, what a wonderful combination of patterns, colours and vintage furniture!

Looking at the Sky...

I took this photograph this morning, a chilly and windy morning,...I was walking, looked up and saw the branches of this tree reaching out towards me. Beyond them racing clouds heading west...

Floral Repeat on Magenta

This is one of my most recent surface pattern designs,...I think it could be a great silk scarf or a cushion...

1950s Packaging: silk threads

This is a cute little box that contains colourful silk threads. These threads were used to mend nylon's tights. The word "nylon" is not spelt correctly.
