Jelly & Ice Cream

After a fantastic 3 weeks on holiday in Vietnam I have finally eased my way back into work mode..sort of..! It hasn't been easy, but to help me get motivated again I got up to speed with my March Assignment for the Lilla Rogers' Bootcamp.

The subject this month is Jelly Moulds! I struggled abit with this one & was panicking that I was so far behind I wouldn't get anything done before the deadline on Sunday! My doodles weren't going very well & I kept thinking of the cocktail I would have normally had in my hand around this time and had to snap out of it!... I did actually take my sketch book away with me with all good intentions of working on my Jelly ideas but between exploring, snorkling & sunbathing I had to have a cold beer (then maybe another).. which then meant I needed a nap! ...so I thought it best to catch up when I got home..

Anyway finally feeling abit more motivated,  I decided to draw my ideas straight onto the computer. When I think of jelly I think of Ice Cream which then makes me think of summer time..lazy days laying on the beach... after bringing myself kicking & screaming out of my daydream once again, I finally get on with the matter in hand! so.... bright yummy colours is the direction I want to go in so this was my focus (until I started thinking about where I want to go on holiday next year)..

It took a while, but I finally got into it & started enjoying my design... I could have done with a bit more time to look at other colour variations but I was happy with my end result. I worked up my design onto Kitchen Textiles & here we are... my final submission...hope you like it ..Im off for 'sex on the beach'..(in my dreams ha!) More like a hot chocolate & a warm cardy its freeeezing!x







This is my final submission showing co-ordinating patterns




I wanted to see my design on Kitchen Accessories & show that it can be mixed 
& matched with co-ordinating patterns for Tea Towels.
