These photos give you a little glimpse into my work processes, which are self taught.
First of all, ideas. Who doesn't love a wall of inspiration?
With an idea of the finished product in mind, I start to draw the things that go into the print.
My favourite drawing tools are this bamboo quill and a bottle of beautifully black Indian Ink.
After the artwork dries, I scan the image and experiment with it on Photoshop. I print out several versions to test the design before settling on a final one. This design below ended up as the "Coiled Lights" print on the rayon jersey range.
I try to create two to three prints each season. This doodle here became the "Fairy Lights" print on silk-finish polyester twill.
Making it all fit together in a repeat pattern.
I didn't like the original dots as light bulbs so drew new ones.
We receive strike-off lengths, or short lengths of test prints, for approval before the final bulk yardage is printed.

The final printed fabrics then get made into cute hansel outfits! :)
