In the UK we are used to the weather being changeable. I take my umbrella everywhere and always put an extra layer in the car if we go out for the day. But the last few weeks have been so extreme. We've had rain, hail, sun, wind and sleet all in one day. Mad!
I 'm super proud to
announce that Dashwood Studios have licensed a new group of fabrics
called Rainbow Friends. It was fun using rainbows, bright colours and
cute animals to create the collection. There are six patterns in the
group and a height chart... You can buy the fabrics here
I’m joining in with #marchmeetthemaker this month and today’s prompt is My Brand
Well
I’m Steph and my brand is Steph Thannhauser designs. I’m a designer,
illustrator and beginners sewing teacher. I provide design services and
have been freelancing and working for myself for flipping ages
I’ve
designed and illustrated for many different products: books, craft
fabrics, apparel, homeware, stationery and I love it. Basically if
something needs a pattern or illo on it, I’m your gal.
A recent
addition to my brand is that I run Beginners sewing classes. I started
running them because I really wanted to share my love of making stuff
and I had got fed up of being by myself all the time . Luckily I have
been able to teach using fabrics I have designed for @dashwoodstudio
which has been F A B U LO U S. Sadly due to you know what they aren’t
running at the mo but fingers crossed I’ll be back soon helping people
make lovely things, seeing the smiles on their faces when they put a zip
in or create a buttonhole, both things they are adamant they can’t do
I
hope my brand sends a positive, fun, quirky inclusive message. I am
known for adding patterns wherever I can to my art and I LOVE, LOVE,
LOVE colour. When I find a great colour combo I honestly feel my heart
miss a beat. I know that sounds arty farty and pretentious but I
honestly do feel that way about colour
I look forward to hearing about your brand so join in with me and @joannehawker who set this whole fantabulous idea up
If you'd like to follow along on for the rest of March please hop over to my Instagram here
Here are some birthday
cards I designed last year for all ages of kiddiewinks. I created these
for the lovely folk @cherryorchardpublishing and you’ll find the full
range on their website here
This is what I
did last week in the dreariest week in January (it rained all week
where I live) in the dreariest month of the year, in the dreariest
situation we all find our selves in ...a pandemic.
I hope it cheers you up. Spring is round the corner thank goodness : )
...all this lot want to say Happy Birthday! Let me know if you are looking for greetings card art, I have a portfolio of work ready to view : )
Happy New Year!!! I'm
back at work after a lovely restful couple of weeks. I hope you had a
great time too in the unusual circumstances.
It's gonna be a weird
start to 2021 as we in the UK have just been told to stay at home again
with everything ordered to shut down too!!! But, fingers crossed things
can only get better. Here is my full advent calendar completed on
Christmas Eve : ) Onwards and upwards......
