Indian project update

As you may know from my previous post, I am doing a project on Indian Culture. I thought I'd share a little of what I've been doing. You can follow a more in-depth version of my journey into my final project on my Instagram - cbp_textiles

Up to now I have been doing lots of drawing, embroidery and painting. This week I will be experimenting with some screens to get my drawings onto fabric! 

I will post more soon!

Request for Information

Hello!

As you might know, I am doing my final project for University on Indian culture and all things paisley, mehndi, architecture etc.

If you think you can help with any information/pictures/fabrics etc, then please get in touch via my email -

chloebeatricedesigns@live.co.uk

Any help would be great, big or small!

Thanks!

Spoonflower addition

Just a quick note to tell you all that I have a new addition to my Spoonflower family! It's a reworked version of my most popular Stag and rose fabric. This version has little acorns instead of the rose. 

My Stag and rose design has been used to create babies leggings via babybeansandme. Working with the maker of these leggings, I created a boy friendly version of the fabric. The Stag and rose fabric on leggings - named 'Bucks and Roses leggings', are already for sale and the boys version of these will be on sale soon too!

Monica, the maker of these leggings also has an Instagram, which posted the image of the leggings on and there was some lovely comments including:

"My fave ones yet!"

"Where do you get such rad fabric?!"

You can visit her Instagram by searching @babybeansandme or by clicking on the link!

Here is the new Stag and Acorn fabric which you can buy in fabric, wallpaper and wrapping paper on Spoonflower - just click on the image below!

And remember - they'll be on leggings soon via babybeansandme!

Exciting news!

I mentioned a while back in a post that I was working on a freelance project. I haven't really been able to say much about this until now, but I'm excited to share with you one of the designs that will be used on golf apparel in the coming months. 

The company I have been working for is Turtle and Tees - a new start-up business based in America that spotted a gap in the market. Once released, they will be selling fun and colourful golf apparel for kids. There are some fabulous people working on this project - especially the client that I'm working for who is so kind to let me stay with her in January as I'm flying over the pond to release this collection at a trade show with them all!

This is super exciting but also terrifying as I'll be flying over all on my own. I'm sure this is the beginning of a fabulous working partnership! 

But for now, here is one of the prints that will be used as lining fabric and also on items such as headbands etc. 

Please like and share the Facebook page of this new and upcoming company -

I will post the official website when it is up and running soon!

An apology...

I'd just like to apologise for the lack of posts. I've split up from University and am currently doing two freelancing projects as well as the initial research and drawing stages of my final project for University. Im afraid all of these things cannot be shared as yet! 

I'm also doing research for my Dissertation which is on the history of wallpaper, particularly the manufacturing of it and how it has progressed over time. If anyone has any useful sources or information on this subject, please don't hesitate to get in touch, I'd really appreciate it!

It's hand in time again...

The time has come again - hand in! This is one of my collections I will be handing in that is based around tiles (please excuse my room!) 

I have also been engulfed by french knots again, this is just one of the samples I have done that will also be handed in for this project.

The bags are out!

This is going to be a happy post because today is the day the bags are available to buy! If you need your memory jogging, I designed the lining fabric for the bags that Flying Fox (formally Bats on Tees) design and make.

The crossover bags are made of the highest quality leather and are hand dyed in their New Orleans studio by Tiffany Napper - the owner and designer.

Below is the promotional image for the three bags in the Wildflower collection. The ivory bag has the rose lining, and the two other bags (magenta and ivory and magenta) both have the stag and rose lining. 

You can snap these bags up here: http://www.batsontees.com/

Get your crafty head on and make something out of some bespoke fabric designed by me!

P.S you can also buy my designs on wrapping paper and wallpaper as well as fabric!

Bats on Tees collaboration

As I said in my last post, I designed 3 fabrics for Bats on Tees (@batsontees). Here is a picture they posted of all three of them together. They will all be lining their Spring collection of bags, debuting on April 15th. i'll definitely be buying at least one - I can't resist having a bag with my own design in! 

Follow Bats on Tees for more updates as the manufacturing process progresses. Of course they are all handmade too! 

I will also be posting updates of them being made so feel free to follow me too!
