Printing for Peru

It continues to be a busy old time at GraceInk HQ with printing for several projects including this one...friends of mine are heading out to Peru on a mission trip later this year with an organisation called Latin Link and to help them on their way I've been providing them with plenty of t-shirts and hoodies, to sell (so they make some money) and keep (so they look like a team). It has to be said the hoodies were stressful and I might have been put off printing them for life (or until the next time someone asks...I have a very short memory in that respect). The t-shirts were alot simpler to print and I've been wearing mine out and about in a very fetching postbox red. You can see what they are upto as a team on their Facebook page, you can read what I've been upto by reading my blog...I guess if you've made it this far then you already have done, well done to you!

The Art Market, Holmfirth

I will be taking part in The Art Market, Holmfirth, on June 12th. I'll remind you all nearer the time about the fair but in the meantime point you in the direction of their blog where they are publishing question and answer sessions with many of the Crafts-people and Artists who will be exhibiting at this amazing fair on either June 5th or the same day as me (June 12th if you've already forgotten)! To read my Q&A then just click here.

Check out the decor8 blog from the 4th October to read Holly Beckers raving review of the Papa Stour website and all about Rosie Brown, stylist and founder of Papa Stour...my Chinese Junk Table Runner has been featured! (it's a brilliant blog too, well worth a look with some beautiful and inspiring design...check out the day to day features just here)

Papa Stour

Papa Stour is one of those great little finds if you have ever had the pleasure to stumble across it, as I did several years ago. Bringing together the finest contemporary craft designer-makers based in Scotland, it has a huge range of unique and beautiful household items, stationary and jewellery which would make the perfect gift for friends, family or even yourself!

And I now have the pleasure of announcing I am one of their newest recruits with a selection of my current work available for sale from the Papa Stour website...so make sure to pop along not just to check out GraceInk but the other wonderful design work they have to offer.

And one last thing, new design work at Papa Stour has been recently blogged about at the design sponge blog (which if you're not already a fan of, you should really visit the possibility) www.designspongeonline.com/2010/07/new-at-papa-stour.html
