The designs featured in my last post are from my art licensing collection, Bright Hearts  and are also available from my Etsy store as art tiles. Stand them on a shelf or use a plate hanger and display them as wall art. They are sure to brighten up any room and as many are available to personalise with your own special message they really are a unique gift for someone you love! The above print is a stand alone design that is perfect for weddings, anniversaries or as an engagement gift. Below the wall tiles also feature additional folk inspired illustrations from my art licensing collection, Folk Tale . Contact me to license designs or for collaborations here.

Christmas is nearly here and if you're still looking for last minute Christmas presents, my 'Let It Snow' patterns are available on a large selection of products that would make lovely gifts, including 5 different but complimentary porcelain mugs. There is also everything you need to make your Christmas table beautiful, including felt coasters, place mats, napkin rings and place mats!   ... and a choice of either a felt cut out table runner... ... or a printed cotton one! In addition to all the serving platters that I showed you in my last post, there is also a matching snowflake platter and gravy boat to complete your Christmas setting. Have a magical Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! xxx Images copyright Kitchen Craft 2013.

As I have mentioned before I absolutely love Christmas, so I am always very happy when asked to design a Christmas product range! My new design for Kitchen Craft is called 'Let it Snow' and was inspired by snowflakes and beautiful Christmas poinsettia flowers. The main designs are below ( - although the blue pattern is uploading in the wrong colour for some reason! - See the photos for a more accurate colour match!) In addition to the three patterns above there is also a more uniform tiny snowflake pattern and a stripe motif. I am a big fan of mix and match patterns within product ranges, so had great fun placing all the different variants together. I think it has worked particularly well on the 3 nibble bowl set below, where the patterns combine with the wooden tray for a delightfully warm Christmassy feel! The range has a two tier cake stand with matching cupcake cases, and a selection of different sized cake plates for all manner of Christmas tre...

The second of my new ranges for the World of Flavours brand is an Indian design. The illustration is a single colour pattern based on the style and colour of Indian henna tattoos. The product is a lovely mix of satin finish stoneware and wood, which I hope gives it a very tactile and authentic feel. The range includes all the products necessary for authentic Indian cooking including a Chapatti board and rolling pin, a spice store, a pestle and mortar for crushing spices and chutney serving pots.

Kitchen Craft are soon to launch several new ranges to their successful World of Flavours range . The first of two ranges designed by me is the Chinese range, which features a delicate cherry blossom motif against a contemporary geometric background. It has a very soft and pretty colour pallet that I hope works for everyday, as well as for yummy Chinese style banquets! The range features the full spectrum of Oriental inspired ceramic serveware from plates, noodle bowls and rice bowls, to serving platters, dip bowls and soy sauce pourers. For those who want an authentic Chinese meal experience there is even a Chinese tea pot and tea cup set. Many of the sets are gift boxed, so would make a lovely gift for a friend who enjoys their Chinese food! Images copyright Kitchen Craft 2013.
