New Scarves on Red Bubble

Royal Jester Scarf by Will Bushell, on Red Bubble

We’ve been adding new products on some of our Print on Demand sites. Red Bubble has come up with a lovely scarf and we’ve been having a bit of fun applying some of our designs to them. As you can see, they are HUGE and would look lovely wrapped or tied. The fabric is soft and light. Here is Red Bubble’s description.

Large 140cm square ( or almost 56 in x 56 in.) so a lovely size for wrapping and tying.
Full print is visible on the front and reverse
Microfiber polyester with a slightly transparent effect
Hand wash only. Do not dry clean or tumble dry.

Another example is my design Spread Sheet Tango on both a scarf and also matching Pencil Skirt.

and another lovely collage by Will, Tuesday Afternoon, which is really a favourite of mine. But we hope you’ll have a look at all the other designs we’ve posted too. And if you see something you would like made into a product we haven’t done, just drop us a line.

A Whole New Look at a Couple of Our Mosaics

Posted on June 25, 2015June 25, 2015 by Helen

Will and I have been wondering how our Pique Assiette mosaics might look on entirely new Products, like prints for instance. We weren’t sure how mosaic would translate into print. Recently I posted about a table top/ wall piece by Will called Blue Fandango.

Since we have a shop on Society6, we chose them to do our first experiment. They do such a great job of printing on all types of products from Prints to Shower curtains. It’s all Print on Demand so only printed when ordered. Just click on the pic to take you to our shop on Society 6. And I have to say we were quite pleased with how Blue Fandango looked as a print…

So, we thought why not a Blue Fandango Pillow?

And then how about a Blue Fandango laptop cover?

Which made us think of other mosaics like the tray with the Toucan colors that I posted about some time ago.

And we tried that as as shower curtain…

Then an Iphone case. I actually like the way the glass marble ties in with the camera on the phone.

and thought, hey why not leggings? You’re never quite sure how a design will wrap around, but we were pleasantly surprised. Look for all of our products that we’ve created on Society 6 at our Summerhouse Art shop there.

Just a few more products on our Society 6 store

We’re really enjoying Print on Demand these days. Such fun way of getting our artwork out there at affordable prices and good quality too. We really got excited this week because Society 6 has come up with “all over print T-shirts”. So now you can have a design all over the T instead of just a little design on the front. Plus, we thought, may as well try out some leggings too.

We’ve been busy adding more products on our Society 6 store. I can never get over how a little sketch can take on a whole new personality once you put it on other items….

Take this little sketch I did on a scrap of spreadsheet paper. Just having fun with pencil crayons and some felt pens. Looks quite different on a pillow or a T-shirt

And a couple of my paintings, one rather tropical and the other an abstract of our garden take on a whole new look on T’s.

Will took a border from a card I’d done years ago and gave it a whole new spin. I do like it on leggings…

and here’s how it looks as a T shirt in lilac. It really looks good as a shower curtain too. Check it out and many other designs on our shop on Society 6. We’ll be adding more designs to the new products as we can.

We’re putting our work online!

Will and I have been looking at our artworks in a whole new way lately. As a couple we’ve produced quite a lot of work in the form of paintings, collages, mosaics, drawings and photographs. We’ve been looking online lately and wondering how these artworks would look on other objects. So we’ve started opening online shops on various Print on Demand sites and having some fun seeing how our works look on things like pillows, iPad skins, totes and mugs, etc. There’s a huge selection.

Here is Helen’s painting of Abstract branches on a pillow

and a mug.

And we think they’re kind of fun! The images shown here are on products in our Summerhouse Art Shop on Society 6. Society 6 has a great reputation as a good quality printer that really gives great customer service and promotes artists too. We hope you’ll have a look, since these and other images are ready to be printed as regular prints, printed canvas, tote bags to even larger items like shower curtains and duvet covers.

As we expand our images and shops, I’ll be updating on the blog so the latest new images are here too.
