sneak peak!!!

heres a sneak peak of my new ss12 collection!! i had a bit of a photo shoot this afternoon, and when i got through editing the photos i'll share my new collection with you!

studio time and a sneak peak...

so after work today i had a night in the studio. i didn't really get all that much done, but i did organize a lot, and updated the shop. i've slowly been trying to find new homes for all of my things in the new studio space, and its slowly coming along. i'm also figuring out some new work for the spring, working with a new, more cohesive colourway, and adding in a few new prints. i also have lots of show applications in progress, and i have an exciting new project that i'm working with a shop on (i'll tell ya more about that soon!).




and heres a sneak peak, (don't judge the mess!) of my new space. with my new print table in the process of being built. i've been working with a printing table that was about 4'x4' (you can kinda see it sitting there, its the actual table top), and my boyfriend and i are in the process of making a new table, thats going to be 4'x11'!! i'm so excited for more space!! i'll show you more photos as the studio gets more pulled together! ohh and don't forget to check out sale in the shop, it will only be up like this for another week or so!

printed tunics sneak peak!

so i've added some new printed tunics to my line! there will be more photos to show you, there are a 3 different styles. this is a nice stretchy jersey tunic. i'm really loving the comfyness and style to these dresses, and i'm pretty excited to be adding them to the shop soon! what do you think?!

studio time...

new embroidery work...

i've been working on some new embroidery work for my upcoming shows. i love the texture in these pieces, and the way the stitches play on top of the print.

new projects!

so i've been playing around in the studio this week with some new projects. i'm working on a line of tunics, and i'm pretty excited about it! i've been interested in making clothes forever, almost went to fashion school instead of textiles. and i'm really excited to finally be creating my fabrics into clothing. i'm working in greys and blacks, some transparent, in over sized and flowing shapes. i just got one done, and i'll so it to you soon! (i wanted to take some pictures outside today but it was raining).
ohh and i got this book from the workroom, and i'm using it for some inspiration.

summer shows...

so last saturday was my first big summer show, Gathering on the Green. it was in my neighbourhood, and had a huge turnout. i had a really good time, and it was pretty much a practice run for my really big show coming up next month. we had pretty good weather all day, except for a big downpour right at the start of the show. but it was nice talking to people about my work, and i got to show off my product to some family friends who hadn't seen it yet. i totally forgot to take any pictures of my booth, but my brother managed to get these.
i have another show coming up this weekend in the same park, and i'm getting pretty excited to do it all over again!
