text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1. Tell us a little about Rolling Roses... </span></div></span><p></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">I have loved making since being a kid and playing with 'Get Set' craft kits and Fimo.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">I progressed to clay in art classes at school and was instantly addicted. I went on to study Contemporary Crafts at Lincoln University, specialising in ceramics. After graduating I shared a studio with a friend for a while before taking the plunge in 2013 and buying my own kiln and converting our little outhouse into a small studio space. I began experimenting with porcelain and just loved it's delicacy and purity. I live in Nottingham, a city known for it's lace heritage and became obsessed with lace after visiting an exhibition.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">I found that the beautiful and intricate patterns found in lace took so well when impressed into the clay surface. Inspired by the beautiful detail created I began to work on a range of functional and decorative homeware combining both materials.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">The name Rolling Roses comes from the process of rolling the often floral lace into the clay.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Celebrating the purity of the porcelain with a soft pastel colour palette and hints of gold, the Rolling Roses range has gradually evolved ino a recognisable collection of feminine ceramic homeware with a complimentary range of jewellery.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">2. What did you do prior to starting your own business?</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Until last year I have always worked full time alongside making and gradually building up the Rolling Roses brand. I have been lucky to work in roles in the Interiors and customer service sector which I love, enjoying the creative and social side of this work. After graduating University I worked as a visual merchandiser and Deputy Store Manager for a lovely interiors company for a number of years.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">When we were sadly made redundant I began working as a Customer Account Manager for a local family run company who manufacture art for retail and industry, looking after printing and contract work for other small businesses and Interior designers.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">After my maternity leave ended I decided it was time to concentrate on Rolling Roses full time and work around family life.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ajb4P3yaYSLmBx_zsOD09H8ITrjqEzltGGlqOmqFcu9UK5XZHBTLCLvO5EUTYJH343kgiFveVy8a6GOPRQ7lco-AMsUr6jjL7GFZrMwOZEDc9gKwrIj6U9CpObBHAD1OLK2ihSq5xQun/s2048/Rolling+Roses+1+Tealights.jpeg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ajb4P3yaYSLmBx_zsOD09H8ITrjqEzltGGlqOmqFcu9UK5XZHBTLCLvO5EUTYJH343kgiFveVy8a6GOPRQ7lco-AMsUr6jjL7GFZrMwOZEDc9gKwrIj6U9CpObBHAD1OLK2ihSq5xQun/s16000/Rolling+Roses+1+Tealights.jpeg.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3. Can you talk us through your creative process...</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div></span></span><p></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">I've never really been very good at translating my ideas to paper. Instead I prefer to try and work out my ideas by hand, getting a fresh piece of clay and experimenting with shapes and sizes until I find something that fits. Often the lace prints themselves determine how a piece might work and firing in itself is a process that can be very experimental. There are often surprising results when you open the kiln so I am constantly having to evolve and rethink ideas.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;">4. What inspires you?</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">As with most designers and makers no doubt I am constanty inspired visually, whether it be from nature, architecture, colours or other objects around me. I love little details such as those found in vintage tea sets, or the shape of a spoon and of course the lace I source is a constant inspiration. I can't wait to be able to visit exhibitions and craft fairs again as being amongst other creatives is always so inspiring.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8LKOjXQ7Gx9aenS5ohkE6azawyjcUcKy2sIMa7uZttdeS61H-070HiJw-GuG_FUIb1Qlv7y3rQ0bE_LS4-MXR6Oe-MY4ztuhg6MYHe8ZEZdVy0W67qz7_ToVAP7feZ5mnruSobrgM0hmA/s2048/Rolling+Roses+2+Pendant+Necklaces.jpeg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8LKOjXQ7Gx9aenS5ohkE6azawyjcUcKy2sIMa7uZttdeS61H-070HiJw-GuG_FUIb1Qlv7y3rQ0bE_LS4-MXR6Oe-MY4ztuhg6MYHe8ZEZdVy0W67qz7_ToVAP7feZ5mnruSobrgM0hmA/s16000/Rolling+Roses+2+Pendant+Necklaces.jpeg.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;">5.

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">I have an Etsy shop where I sell my jewellery range and a few homeware pieces. I'm hoping to expand this to include some of my lace printed range. I also have a number of fabulous stockists throughout the UK, details can be found on my website. And when they are up and running again I take a full range of my work with me to Craft Fairs and Markets.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">6. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;">What does a typical work day look like for you?</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">Currently there is no typial work day! I run Rolling Roses around caring for my 21 month old little boy Felix. I squeeze in working whenever I can, usually an hour or two here and there in the morning before my partner goes to work or during nap time. And then as much as I can do in the evening and usually a day at the weekend if we don't have plans. Post runs are usually done with Felix in tow and involve a very slow toddler walk looking at every stick and stone on route and usually via the park.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn11Xgz4rTOs_XHPq9RGL2guJD6KT-CL3337j4I2_1pQrZZcyv15xsqJtq2V7KGuu30xky-KxJDOOS5bQrRtQyq-vo6nKCMC7X3PD76oHTpEqylQaoo1n4forNnbKgZriNlAD3_ZsMGSxC/s2048/Rolling+Roses+4+Teacup+%2526+Jug.jpeg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn11Xgz4rTOs_XHPq9RGL2guJD6KT-CL3337j4I2_1pQrZZcyv15xsqJtq2V7KGuu30xky-KxJDOOS5bQrRtQyq-vo6nKCMC7X3PD76oHTpEqylQaoo1n4forNnbKgZriNlAD3_ZsMGSxC/s16000/Rolling+Roses+4+Teacup+%2526+Jug.jpeg.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;">7. What are the best and worst things about running your own craft business? </div></span><p></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">The best thing is being able to play with clay as my real life job. I absolutely love making and feel so lucky to be able to earn a living from it. I only have a tiny little studio at home but it's my happy place and I instantly feel calmer the moment I get my hands into some clay. The flexibility of running my own business means I also get to enjoy spending my time wth Felix and can work as and when I can even if it is a bit sporadic most of the time. The worst thing about running my own craft business is being responsible for everything. Not only do I make all of my stock from scratch, I have to be the admin, accounts, social media manager, packer and dispatcher and everything else in between that comes with running your own business. As a maker I love the hands on side of my business but am not so great at keeping up with the tech side of the business and feel less confident with anything involving a screen rather than a lump of clay.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;">8. What’s your most popular product, and your own personal favourite to create, and why?</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: medium;">My most popular product is hands down my stud earrings, in particular the tiny stud and heart designs. These always sell well both online and in my stockists, I think because they are such an affordable gift and can easily be posted. At Craft fairs and markets (ha remember those?!) my lace printed tealight holders are always popular and these are probably my most favourite to make. I've been making these for a number of years now but I never get bored of making them. Each one is always unique and I like experimenting with different shapes and designs.

I'm so honoured to be exhibiting among so many talented makers.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUPeDpPnU_I7lrWYlVzU7Vnu9QPH6y0erpsmg8J7RSYr7FJrsuc5LGfmGeVtKGPmOCrGSbDW0bCtSoW73j2M8-9odAN2HUjj049SkdHhvDScER2FprpgIsPekFm_JmyUTl8-x-kp7twJQ/s2048/Rolling+Roses+6+Folded+Bowls.jpeg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUPeDpPnU_I7lrWYlVzU7Vnu9QPH6y0erpsmg8J7RSYr7FJrsuc5LGfmGeVtKGPmOCrGSbDW0bCtSoW73j2M8-9odAN2HUjj049SkdHhvDScER2FprpgIsPekFm_JmyUTl8-x-kp7twJQ/s16000/Rolling+Roses+6+Folded+Bowls.jpeg.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;">10.

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Klara has been an illustrator for over twenty years.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Growing up she always loved drawing and this only </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">increased when she received a set of watercolour pencils for her 8th Birthday.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was the best present </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ever and she began drawing landscapes which she entered into competitions at the local village show </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and won.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Upon leaving school, Klara went to art college and it was there her tutor suggested she would suit </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">illustration.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It hadn’t even occurred to her that being an illustrator was a possible career choice but the</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">seed was planted and she never looked back.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Leaving Lancashire for London, Klara did a degree in illustration.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Upon graduating she was lucky </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">enough to land her dream job as an illustrator and designer for a top greetings card and gift company.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here she learnt a huge amount and grew her skills developing best selling ranges for a well known UK </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">department store.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After 16 years working as an anonymous designer Klara was yearning for more and embarked upon a</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">freelance career. Mostly working on greetings cards and children’s book she has also discovered the</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">wonderful world of surface pattern. Klara has falling in love with making patterns and enjoys the freedom </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">that it brings to her drawing.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inspired by different cultures, colour, nature and the great outdoors her work has a naive quality that</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">appeals to both children and adults alike. Now in her 4th year of business she has been lucky enough to </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">work with clients such as The British Museum, Harrods, Marks and Spencer, Paperchase, Penguin Books, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Selfridges, Scribbler, Waterstones and Woodmansterne.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Klara lives in Surrey with her husband and daughter and most days she can be found at her desk happily </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">drawing pictures.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alongside freelance, Klara is excitedly working on a new venture to launch herself </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">as a publisher.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She’s busy designing greetings cards and gift ranges which she will wholesaling as well</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">as selling on her website.</span></div>

There are some fabulous books coming out in this latter part of the year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It doesn't seem like five minutes ago I was <a href="http://loveprintstudio.blogspot.com/2019/01/new-childrens-books-for-2019.html"><span style="color: #999999;">posting about children's books out at the beginning of the year!</span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where has 2019 gone exactly?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Releases between now and the end of the year include 'Alma and the Beast' from Esme Shapiro which is sure to be a delight, much like her other books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A new Oliver Jeffers book is always something to look forward to, and another addition to the Franklin and Luna series from Katie Harnett and Jen Campbell, yay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heres what to look out for...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rachel Howkins is the creator of <a href="https://ellaandtheroo.com/"><span style="color: #999999;">Ella and the Roo</span></a>, a design-led brand handcrafting artisan woodland and safari animal head wall hangings and contemporary art prints for children's rooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Handmade in Oxfordshire using aged old natural hand dyeing traditions which create beautiful tonal imperfections, delicate hand stitching and embroidery, all helping towards creating a unique piece every time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Established in 2016, Rachel has a passion for creating beautiful children's heirloom decorations to inspire young imaginations that can be handed down from generation to generation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently available is a woodland collection which includes a badger, fawn, fox, mouse, bear and rabbit, and a safari collection including a leopard, giraffe and lion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll need to get your orders in quickly as Rachel is closing her shop before she heads off for maternity leave very soon.</div>

<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I loved the art and design subjects in high school and went on to study graphic design at TAFE and Uni. When I was studying I was always keeping busy with little side projects, like making jewellery or collages. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was a super creative time for me, I was at design school every day and was excited to be making things and sharing to the early days of Instagram. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I experimented a lot with different products I’d make for myself that my friends or other people were interested in - that was around the time Etsy was starting to really take off, so I created a shop on there to sell my little projects for some extra income. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once I graduated I spent a while interning as a graphic designer before landing full time work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I still kept up my Etsy store and started to create prints and artwork, as well as stationery like greeting cards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even though my products were evolving, I have always had a strong focus on colour and colour combinations.</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the last year I have switched up my routine, and now work in house as a graphic designer three days a week, and then freelance for myself two days a week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On these days I either do graphic design work, textile design or work on my own products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been doing a few more markets, have seven lovely stockists of my pieces and am loving the balance of it all!</span><br />

<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sitting on my coffee table are 2 books at the moment, ‘Eames - Beautiful Details’ and ‘Mid Century Modern Complete’</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My boyfriend and I visited the Eames house in Santa Monica last year and it was the coolest experience!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I got him this book for Christmas as we are both really into mid century/modern design and Charles & Ray Eames are just so inspiring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also the cover is beautiful so its a great one for the coffee table.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m inspired by heaps of different people/designers/artists/fashion etc.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marimekko is definitely a huge inspiration to me - the Finnish design house, for the bold and bright textiles that stand the test of time. It was founded in the 50's and was created and run by women, which is really cool.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love Dick Bruna’s illustrations and the bold colours he used in his work.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yayoi Kusama, of course for her amazing colourful artwork but also for her inspirational story of how she got where she is today - check out ‘Kusama: Infinity’ if you haven’t already!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On one of my freelance days I usually start by going through emails and making a plan for the day. Sometimes I won’t have any urgent deadlines or projects so I just spend the day painting, creating collages or packing any orders for customers or stockists.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">By lunch time I either create some strange concoction from my kitchen (CC:</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><a class="" href="https://www.instagram.com/studio_snacks/" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="" style="color: #999999;">https://www.instagram.com/studio_snacks/</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">) or sometimes I go for a walk to meet my boyfriend for lunch, he works close by to home, where my studio is.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I try to fit in some exercise and finish off anything else in the afternoon.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most days aren’t the same which is the fun of it - I am quite routine driven as a person but am really trying to let that go and enjoy working for myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve also been trying to put less pressure on myself to stick to a traditional 9-5 timeframe, because sometimes I am just feeling it more at nighttime and I just roll with it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Can you give us an insight into your creative process?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My work usually starts from a physical place, I like to collect paint swatches and create colour combinations and compositions using collage.</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes that is the finished product, or sometimes I scan or trace the shapes on the computer. These days I often just illustrate from the get-go on the computer too, it just depends what is working!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I kind of collect colour combos in my head, or take weird photos of stuff to document the colours.</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For my painting work, I often have quite a strong plan going into a piece - I am still new to painting and really can’t go with the flow of it yet - the designer in me needs a solid plan. I usually rough sketch up the composition, and plan colours before starting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I work at my home studio, in Collingwood - in inner city Melbourne, Australia. I’ve got a big desk, with all my inspo books sitting above me on the wall. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s usually an absolute mess in there but sometimes I try to tidy it up and it looks pretty again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I often move around the apartment and sit wherever the light is nice. I’ve often got podcasts on to fill the quietness of working on my own - lately I’ve been listening to Bobo & Flex, all about relationships and the Wowee! Podcast by two Melbourne creatives, interviewing other creative people.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently went to see a documentary about the Bauhaus design movement for the German Film Festival, called Bauhaus Spirit - and it explored how this movement and its ideas are carried into so many different things today. I thought that was really cool and I enjoyed hearing more about the experimental nature of Bauhaus.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve been trying to experiment with collage pieces consisting of only 3 shapes lately, I guess sort of similar to the 3 Bauhaus shapes, and finding the beauty in the super simple and minimal - its actually really difficult!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beth is a freelance illustrator and designer based in Shropshire, UK.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She likes nothing more designing cute characters and colourful prints, especially for clothing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She loves creating patterns, and likes to switch between her sketch book and graphics tablet when creating her work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beth studied at Birmingham City University and graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Illustration, and it was there </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">that she found her love for all things pattern.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She then went on to spend a number of years working as an in house designer at a childrenswear supplier, designing garments, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">graphics and prints for the UK high street as well as various international brands. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2019 she set up her freelance illustration and design business, where she has continued her work designing children's and babywear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">More recently she has began expanding her portfolio into the stationery and giftware industries, designing greetings cards, wrapping paper and gift bags. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She also creates bespoke wedding stationary and personalised nursery prints.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beth has designed for many different clients big and small, including George at Asda, Primark, Nutmeg at Morrisons, Babyshop and MiniKlub.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When she isn't busy drawing, painting and making she likes exploring new places, listening to David Bowie and watching Liverpool play football. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She has an Etsy store where you can buy some of her designs: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BethIllustratesStore"><span style="color: #999999;">https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BethIllustratesStore</span></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">She is a graphic designer by trade but when she moved to the states she discovered surface design, and she fell in love.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">She has spent years experimenting and growing her artistic voice, while raising three little ones. Needles to say motherhood and it’s many aspects are woven into her creative process.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="text-align: start;" /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">Drawing & painting provide her with time for reflection as well as act as a release from the day to day.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">With reflection comes gratitude/joy and with releasing comes empowerment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">Her narrative illustrations and playful patterns cultivate these emotions, with the use of watercolours, gouache, pens, digital techniques and always a dose of tropical vibes from her native Costa Rica.</span></div>
<br style="text-align: start;" /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">Surface design also opened the door for mural commissions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">She has painted murals for Mission Taqueria, Freedom Apothecary in Philadelphia and has been commissioned for a couple of other exciting mural projects this summer.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"> </span></div>
<br style="text-align: start;" /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">She’s currently working on some personal projects, developing a fabric collection and art prints that will be available online soon.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"> </span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dora is available for custom murals and illustrations and would love to connect with other creatives or brands for commissions or collaborations.</span></div>

I'm still loving these peach and apricot tones. They never get old do they?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just gorgeous combined with soft aqua, teals and a hint of ochre.</div>
