Art Tiles

Image
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.

Mugs For Every Romantic Occasion!

Image
My first line of mugs in my Etsy store feature a selection of romantic designs, that are bright and fun! Many such as the Mr & Mrs mugs above and the He / She Put A Ring On It mugs below can be personalised and make unique gifts for occasions such as Valentine's Day, or engagement, wedding and anniversary gifts for a special couple! You can make your loved one smile on any occasion with one of my cheeky typography designs. ... Or just tell them how much they mean to you...

I'm On Etsy!

Image
I am delighted to tell you that I have finally got round to opening my own online store through Etsy! My plan is to sell uniquely designed homeware and gifts, which I will make by hand in my home studio. I have invested in a variety of sublimation equipment including a brilliant new printer, which allows me to transfer my vibrant designs onto all sorts of products using a heat press. I have been testing products for a few months and am really happy with the quality and beautiful colours I am able to achieve. A lot of items are customisable, so visit my store for truly personal gifts for your family and friends!

Art Licensing Show - Christmas Colouring Book!

Image
Earlier in the year I created a Christmas line drawing page and submitted it to a selection panel for the Art Licensing Show Christmas colouring book . The idea of the colouring book is to be a free downloadable resource that can be used by anyone from schools to hospitals in order to spread some cheer over the festive season. I was delighted to find that not only was my page selected for inclusion in the colouring book, but my designs are also used on the inside and back covers. Hopefully it will help to spread lots of happiness this Christmas! Use the link in pink to download your copy!

Vicky Yorke Designs Website!

Image
I've been working really hard over the last few weeks to finally get my website online to showcase my newest designs! It's taken a lot of planning, but I'm really pleased with how it's looking! It's a sad fact that as a designer I have to consider how much I share online, because there is always a risk that designs could get stolen or copied, so rather than being a complete portfolio of my licensing collections, the website acts as a glimpse of my design style and personality! Anyone who likes the designs showcased on the website can  contact me to view my full licensing portfolio. Take a look - I hope you like it!

Fanci Baking!

Image
I'm very excited to finally be able to share with you a project I've been working on for a while now! Fanci Baking is a huge range of beautiful baking and gift products developed by Captivate Brands that was launched at the International Home & Housewares Show in Chicago. The range is inspired by the 1950's, but is reinvented for the modern home. I had so much fun creating a selection of complimentary patterns from ditsy prints to large placement florals, but all with a strong 1950's vibe. The range spans over 200 products, so I have just shown a few of my favourite products below!

Mugs (Part 4)

Image
My final round up of designs from my mugs project is yet more lovely florals! I particularly enjoy designing ditsy flower prints, so the following designs were loads of fun to do! Bolder floral prints took the form of this mid century inspired stem design... ...and a pretty crochet edge floral in trendy blue and white. With so many different styles there's a mug design for virtually everyone - which one would you choose?! Copyright Kitchen Craft 2014.
