2nd September 2009

I’m just back from a lovely trip home to Hackney to visit friends and family and to help my wonderful grandparents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary! It was a great party with all the family together and Salt Beef and Latkas all round! Perfect!

It also meant I got to see my freshly tattooed cousin Beverley, who has been recently decorated with some unique little snowflakes which I designed for her! See the original designs here.

Sean at Steel Beauty has done a brilliant job! Here are some before and after photos…

If anyone else would like a bespoke tattoo then drop me a line, I’m always happy to get doodling on a theme of your choice!

Anne Bonnar, trustee of the National Galleries of Scotland and founding director of the National Theatre of Scotland, first contacted me about a month ago when I joined a great social networking site for designers in Scotland called 38 minutes.

Anne sent me a lovely message saying how much she liked my designs and that she would love to have a dress made from some of my fabric. We arranged to meet up at the next Edinburgh Coffee Morning, where a mix of arty peeps and techo wizzes meet up to swap ideas (and show off their new toys!), so that Anne could see the designs up close and choose one for a bespoke dress. Here are the results!

Anne has already worn the dress to the Dublin Theatre Festival and is planning to wear it again tonight when she attends the openning of the Edinburgh Art Festival! So far Anne’s being getting lots of positive comments and even a few requests to buy the dress!
