Hello, again
Are we really almost in August? Every month I remark on how quickly the year is speeding by and each month, when I sit in front of my laptop, I take time to reflect on the people I've met, the work that has been commissioned and the parts of my job that have inspired, challenged and made me laugh a lot.
It's been a very happy month here. Work has been steady, enjoyable and interesting. It's been an absolute pleasure to connect with so many of you who are getting married next year and in 2012. There a many different themes and subsequently I am developing some new ideas. Actually, this is a pretty intensive design time for me, so many unusual projects for clients and on a personal basis I've been busy checking the next revision of our website and reviewing the samples for our 2011 collections. I'm chucking out some current designs, as I consider the trends are well and truely done, and making way for the new work I have been sampling. Please do keep looking at the website for new work and do keep talking to me about your inspirations. It's really down to your input that I am able to provide such a varied portfolio and keep my work fresh.
In order to help you with your themes I've got a new section of the website going live. It's the colour inspire zone and at the bottom of this post you can see the visuals that are going online. We produce so much work in so many different colours that it's impossible to feature everything on the site, so the "colour inspire zone thingy", as it's become known in the office, serves to demonstrate what's possible.
Two by Two Express is still proving popular and I am enjoying the visuals you're sending through, keep 'em coming for our gallery. Thanks so much for taking the time to send your pics in.
So, looking back at July I see it's been very work oriented and not a lot of playtime. Although I did catch Shappi Khorsandi live and she was brilliant. I'm looking forward to the Summer exhibition of Winchester art club. This annual exhibition offers the chance for local artists, both amateur and professional, to exhibit a range of work from painting to sculpture, drawings to prints.
My mood board above shows some of the July commissions. All very neutral and natural this month; vanilla, latte, blush and beige featured strongly with animal prints, butterflies, grasses, fauna mixed with a bit of sparkle.
Have a great August. Over and out! Enjoy the colour board thingy's...
