Mermaid hair and patterning

This week has been super exciting as I've been a busy full time playa working away and also had my work featured on Don't Panic. You can read it here They did a short interview with me discussing the style of my work and also the inspiration behind it, I always say to people that Pattern A Day is actually a visual diary so it may look like I'm drawing the most random things but usually they relate to the days conversations, things I have seen, colours I have seen or something I have thought of. I can pretty much go back over the tumblr and tell you what happened that day which is really nice and hence why I plan to keep it going for the whole year so I have an actual visual diary consisting of 365 patterns!

I was also contacted by Mollie Makes magazine to design them a downloadable wallpaper and after a couple of emails the team at MM decided that they wanted to go with a design I had previously done so I worked on a calendar to go alongside it and sent it off this morning ready for the weekend. I absolutely love Mollie Makes so I'm really excited to have my work featured with them.

I am loving our new house a bit too much at the moment, its such a nice place to work and hang out I never really want to leave. And of course have filled my room with flowers in every spot, anyone with hayfever does not wanna enter...

And running is back on track thank god, there was a time when I thought I wasn't gonna be able to get back in the swing off it but I'm definitely back to enjoying my runs rather than seeing them a chore. Though now we face the issue of how ridiculous I look in my bright pink running gear which complimented the silver hair pretty well however I fancied some mermaid hair this week and decided to experiment with Bleach Londons ''Out of Blue'', I only left it on for 5 minutes as I wanted it a turquoise colour rather than blue and 5 mins was just the right amount of time, I will be quite interested to see how it looks in a couple weeks as its just wash in and out.

 Mainly listening to 90s RnB at the moment and this has been top of the most played for the week:
