Floral Deer Birthday Card Design

For my Mum's 65th Birthday this year I wanted to design a personalized card  that included imagery which I knew she would like. The below images shows the initial Drawing and the final Design.

I chose to draw a deer for the main motif as this is my mum's favorite animal. To make this design more eye catching and original I combined floral elements (Granny Bonnets) to become part of the Deer.

 Using text 'Mother Deerest' on the design as a clever pun to the main focus of the Deer.

4 x Cushion Cover Commission

For these commissioned zip fastening cushion covers I started by helping source the fabric with the client.  This feminine contemporary with a rustic twist fabric was purchased at: http://www.countrythreadspatchwork.co.uk/

Here are some images of the finished Cushions :)

If you want to any details/information on commission based work please contact me on: leona.curtis@hotmail.co.uk and I will be happy to help.

Up-cycling Project :)

I picked up this Side Table gem for £15 at a flea market in Bath and straight away saw the potential for an up-cycling project.

I started this project by sanding the top layer of varnish off. I then used 2 coats of wood primer/undercoat and painted over this with a 'Sketch Book' white wood paint. For the door I chose to paint this in a contrasting  'Stiletto' Coral wood paint.

Ta daaa!
I finished off this side table by purchasing a handle at Nkuku to freshen up and personalize the look.
