Bristol in pictures

Impromptu weekend trip to Bristol turned out to be lots of fun. My first visit to this amazingly creative city but definitely not the last.

Branded at the GrillStock Food festival! Mr. S was all starry eyed and getting excited with wood chips for smoking meat and giant BBQ grills! Men!!!

Walking on the Harbour Rail tracks... kept expecting the train to come along any moment!

Tapas at The Olive Shed!

Came across this beautiful Decoupaged table with Vintage Postcards at the Tobacco Factory Sunday Market.

Some seriously gorgeous graffiti!

Real Ale Chutney at the Tobacco Factory.

Summer Craftacular

Summer isn't summer until one's visited BUST magazine's bi-yearly crafts fair! I took a break from work and went for a quick visit. I had fun meeting some familair faces zeena shah and that kate and exploring all the beautiful works by the 60 artists presenting there.

Beautiful hand cut birds on vintage maps by Four & Plenty

Realllly quirky cross-stitched kits by Urban Cross Stitch.

Illustrated printed textiles (cushions & bags) by Caroline Dulko

Can't wait for the Christmas one!

Shooting the Alphabet Plates

I finally got a chance to shoot some of the alphabet plates. I decided I'll start with all the alphabets that have cakes in them so I could go cake shopping! :) I think art directing and styling the photography is as important to me as the actual idea and designing. Each shoot is a massive learning curve for me and for this one I have to agree that less is more. I've kept it really simple and decided to shoot white on white. The alphabet plates will be available online soon and in the mean time here's the result:

Oh! and yeah All Alphabet plates will be available in Black & Blue.
