Rob Ryan

Hello all!

Well I spend hours drawling the internet on a daily basis for inspirations, tit bits and to stay on top of things for trends and whatnot but I actually 1st viewed Rob Ryan's work in the V&A shop in Kensington, London. I was mulling something over this morning when his screen print popped into my head....a little research later and I have uncovered a multitude of his work.

The style, so delicate and feminine, created as if from dripping ink mixed with thoughts and feelings. What I find so nice is how the negative space becomes the positive space by the cutting out technique. His original paper works are hand cut and he has a series of screen prints, mugs, tee towels all in a similiar style. Very inspiring and I'm off to drop some BIG hints as its my birthday coming up soon!

70's and Topshop Love!

70's love!! I have gone and got a bit giddy about the lovely summery 70's inspired tones hitting the highstreet at the mo. I have a couple of pieces in fleshy pink, burnt orange and turtle grey....but quite frankly I need to some more to create the whole look.

Topshop is floating my boat, closely followed by Miss Selfridge (wherever Topshop goes Miss Selfridge is somewhere close hiding in the bushes). Its just getting me all in the mood to DRESS for summer , let alone pub gardens, bbqs...I have pulled out last years ballet pumps (they still go right?) and sky scraping wedges (must practice how to wear them again in prep) for the HEAT!
HEAT? can you hear me??? we are ready for you now!


love love love...flowers on our hair and floaty shirts....love love love

Devonshire

Devonshire , land of the brave and free! Well not exactly but I am certainly off there today to soak up some rain not rays. Once again reliable english weather has not failed to bring us a weekend of grey and rain! But I am going to embrace this. Towns must be visited, Cornish pasties must be ate and cider must be drunk!!

Hopefully a little scenery , fresh air and wonderful friends will distract entirely from the rain !
Have a good wkend y'all

Mention on The Jelly Empire Blog!

Greetings everyone!
I have another mention on a blog that I'd like to share with you all! I promise this blog isn't turning into 'finding myself on the internet and blogging about it' and I will be blogging more from now on!

The slight sporadicfication of my blogging (what? I'm just making up words now) is over and I'm back with inspiration, tales and Halibut news!
Have a look on The Jelly Empire Blog
For robot inspired beauty, artwork, tees and the cutest buttons!

Here is the blog! ....Its me in a flatcap......please note I was unbelieveably cold during the last Halibut stall...but Leather Lane was great. "come and get your Amadillo cushions" and "two fer a pound, twoooooo fer a pound, come and getit" were my fave market sayings despite not selling anything that were 2 for £1....a ludacris amount for all the hard slog I put into everything!
