Driftwood is a collection that I designed for Makower UK recently. It's a nautical-inspired collection in muted colours and the perfect print for creating a beach house vibe.
The main print is called Cove and shows a pretty harbour scenic in tones of blue, cream and grey. It's inspired by the coastal villages of Cornwall with its quaint cottages and lighthouses in a lino cut style.
Beach huts are the quintessential English seaside icon so I created these quirky beach huts on a cream background. Each one is slightly different to each other with contrasting door colours and nautical items decorating their exteriors.
Seashells are a great image for a nautical group and naturally work in this Lino cut style. I've also mixed a few seagrasses and seaweeds with this crowded shells design.
These cute sealife creatures make a great spaced design and are perfect for using on smaller crafting projects or as a lining fabric for bags and purses.
This seagrass print comes in a pretty sage colour, also great as a co-ordinate to the other designs.
The Cove scenic harbour design has also been designed in a more multi colour palette, including sage green and turquoise.
You couldn't have a nautical collection without a sailboat design so I designed this one on the open sea with the odd lighthouse scattered around.
The Ripples print makes a great texture and looks like the waves on the sea. It's great for using as a binding on a quilt or a lining for a beach bag.
The Cottages design is so cute and a nod to the hillside villages around the South-west coast of the UK.
