Love Bed linen?
If you are on the look-out for new bed linen and in need of some inspiration, check out the Cottonbox blog where I will be posting regularly on the latest trends and new releases in children's and adult's bedding designs available from the Cottonbox website. I have my eye on the beautiful Florence Broadhurst collection, but am finding it hard to narrow down my selection to just one design!

From Holland
One of my favourite kid's design blogs is DecoPeques from Spain, and each week they send out a condensed newsletter of highlights from the blog. Today I spotted a few of my textile designs alongside these beautiful beds from Saartje Prum that look as if they belong in a fairy tale. So many Dutch homeware companies manage to combine quirky & kid friendly design down pat!

A box of goodness
The other day my Dad walked into my studio carrying a box bearing my name and address (as I live in a remote rural location the mail is delivered only three times a week and all packages have to be picked up and signed for from the local general store). I couldn't recall ordering anything on-line of late, so this was quite a surprise.
The lovely Mona from Cottonbox had sent me a sample of all of my new designs for Cottonbox Kids.
Herbie and Bonjour the cat were my volunteer but very camera-shy models!

Secret Garden
And one for the girls! My latest bed linen design for Cottonbox Kids is 'Secret Garden'.
Take a step inside the filigree gates into an enchanted garden filled with beauty.
Proud peacocks show off their stunning plumage beneath a mystical tree bursting with ripe figs and beautiful blossoms. Delicate butterflies flit and flutter around the water colour branches. Girls of all ages will fall in love with this detailed hand painted design in a palette of restful and harmonious spring tones.

It's a beautiful day in the orchard!
I love the naive result that can be achieved when using coloured pencil on rough textured watercolour paper.

Lilac Luxe
I love the kooky mix of colours and patterns in Audrey's Parisian bedroom featured in the latest issue of Milk Magazine. I wonder who designed that fabulous wallpaper featuring cherubs, doves and peacocks?

Spotted in Shop 4 Kids
The latest edition of Shop 4 Kids is jam-packed with stylish summer buys, just in time for Christmas.
I spotted a few of my Hiccups designs amongst the pages filled with wonderful offerings. It's amazing how much the industry involving children's design has grown over the last ten years - when I finished university there was only a sprinkling of kid's fashion print design jobs, and the kid's bed linen / homewares segment was a tiny one. In the Sheridan Design studio only one or two children's designs were produced each year. Times have changed!

Vintage Belle
Here are a few images of my last (and final) range for the Hiccups bed linen collection. The Vintage Belle range of designs were inspired by my love of vintage floral fabrics, botanical illustrations, and 1930's children's picture books. Each design was hand-painted using water colour, colour pencil and gouache.
