We spent a week recharging our batteries and consc We spent a week recharging our batteries and consciously slowing down. And it was SO GOOD! 

But it’s also good to be back in my studio, especially with a full charge of energy 🥰 I have a couple of wedding-signs to finish, and a very peachy commission. But other than that, my calendar for August has some space in it. Which is sort of deliberate because it’s the summer holidays and I’m looking forward to spending more time with my kids, but I also enjoy the buzz of a last-minute project, so drop me an email if you have an idea or an event you need signage for ❤️🙌

Or any campsite recommendations!

💥 One-off Yes Sign available 💥 I’ve just a 💥 One-off Yes Sign available 💥 I’ve just added a brand new ‘Yes’ sign to my website. Inspired by traditional circus lettering, it was originally intended for the @flyingcircus exhibition, but logistics didn’t quite fall into place and I didn’t get it to Brighton in time. Painted with a combination of tape and free-hand edges. It’s fitted with 3 dimmable lightbulbs, making it incredibly versatile; a bold statement piece during the day, and a soft warm glow in the evenings.

Welcome to Fabulous Penarth ✨ I’ve lost count Welcome to Fabulous Penarth ✨

I’ve lost count now, but I’ve made a LOT of these. If they look a bit too big for you, I had the wood cut for some that are half the size - originally scaled-down for a customer wanting to take it home to Australia in their luggage. They’re smaller, cheaper but no less fabulous!
