Its so satisfying to see commissioned work come to print. Particularly following a big project. I have just completed my biggest yet, a set of seasonal bunting for the Spring 2015, Cross Stitch & Needle Work Magazine. I have just had a printed copy of the first Spring instalment fall through my letter box so thought now would be a good time to share with you the whole process in photos. Everybody working proses is different and mine continues to evolve.  I thought you may enjoy a little glimpse behind the scenes.....

1. Initial Drawings
