Project Ten

I'm super excited to share with you a project I was working on a little while ago.

I worked closely with the lovely Jacquie from Project Ten Australia to design some prints for her awesome oversized, extremely light Tote Bags, and SO well priced. Perfect for a Christmas treat... I'll be buying loads! Head over here for a better look.

just checking in

hi a quick one for me tonight, as im sooo tired. just wanted to share with you the work i have been doing for kaisercraft. this is my latest range called check in. its a travel range with a slightly vintage feel. i really enjoyed designing this range. i tried to sneak in as much yellow as possible as its my favourite colour. you can see it all here. i hope your week is going well.

wednesday tomorrow. half way there

did it again

ok so i thought i wouldn't do it and i swore to myself not too... be M.I.A that is. im sorry followers and friends, i haven't been very exciting lately, but iv just been so hectic (yes yes i know, we all have). i NEED to make more time. i wont go on about it though... 

anyway a few things have been happening in the world of victor fox, first a formost... drum roll please... i got into the new kids print and pattern book! woooohoooo! im so so excited. i wont spill the beans on what will be featured, but you will have to keep an eye out. i hope there will be books left in australia as between myself and my mum- i think we will purchase the ENTIRE shipment! im really so excited.

when i found out i went straight over to mum and dads to tell them... mum went up to her bedroom and then came down minutes later with a little book in her hand. it was her 'santa's book', its where she writes all our presents in for christmas that coming year (although we are all over the age of 25 now, it keeps her very organised and to be honest i should take a leaf out of that book, literally!) anyway she said look at this, and showed me a list she had written a few years ago for me... on the top was "bowie style's print and pattern book". mum said something that i didn't really think of, and was quite awesome. she said " a few years ago that book was number one on your christmas list, now your actually IN IT!" aggghhhhh so that made me all that little bit excited!

on another note, i have been really enjoying my drawing again lately... its hard when you go through the stages when you feel that you are shit, and that everyone else is so much better. i have been thinking of quotes lately to inspire me and to get me pumped- happy to be myself. the poor girls i work with, hear it every day from me " im shit, my drawings are like 2 year olds, etc etc". enough is enough clare! so this is the end of that... only positive comments from me now. 

on that note, i think when you become happier in your skin, everything seems peachy! i did this drawing tonight and was wrapped with it. so thats it... happy thoughts for me!

heck! iv written a bit. enjoy your friday

what a hoot

i have been working on these owls for some time now, and i am falling more in love with them the more i play around with them. i think it must be the colours... and their funny little faces... im not sure. 

this week has seemed to fly and apart from my wedding post (weeeee so exciting) i havnt been very entertaining have i?

i hope you are all having a great week and ill be back tomorrow with my foto friday.

have a great day x

bonjour!

hello again... with the talk of love that i have just posted about, i wanted to share with you all my newest range i designed for kaisercraft. this range is called bonjour- and as you can see its a love inspired french theme. this is not my style at all, but am very happy to say that i enjoyed designing this one a lot! i think because i had such a clear brief.

this range is now available at kaisercraft. x

afternoon owls!

evening all...iv possibly had the busiest 2 days ever. work has been insane, and when i say insane i mean when you curse yourself for needing to go to the bathroom as there is SIMPLY just no time! and when you dont even have time to refill your water bottle but your mouth is so parched you can barely breath- cotton mouth has taken over!!

yeah you know those days? i bet you all know exactly what i mean.

so tonight on my way home from work, i knew i had to options:

1} hate the world, snap at everyone and everything, and 'blame' the ridiculously busy day iv had. possibly stick a hazardous warning sticker over my mouth OR

2} take a breath, turn on some turns in the car, sing all the way home. stop by the florist and buy my mum some flowers, and instead of hating the sight of anything that resembles a mac - get to it and design something special.

and guess what i chose... you guessed it option 2! and do you know what? i feel so good for it.

my mum loved her flowers, i was able to really enjoy doing this owl pattern and i saved everyone else from hating the world by NOT choosing option one!

what a great night...

on that note, there is only so much you can put your body through and im going to collapse with exhaustion..... niiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

(and yes i may be a little delirious!)

wednesdays work

gee im loving this short week bizo! hope the weeks going well for everyone.

i have been busy today seeing some of the work that i have been beavering away at in my 'bat cave' and it will soon be revealed. that job iv got going on ... the sneaky peaky i gave you all a few posts ago. i think friday is the day when its all systems go. i cant wait to show you all.

on another exciting front, i have been working on another top secret job! and today was the day it all got signed off!! yey. i cant show anything on this yet...sorry :(

here are a few prints i have been working on today for a bit of eye candy! these colours have been thrown about in some past work of mine and in recent mood boards. so i thought id give them a whirl and get some funky patterns happening!

enjoy your wednesday. x
