In a cozy little corner of a sunlit living room lived a cheerful fairy named Fenwick. He was the tiniest fairy in all the land, but what made him truly unique was his best friend and pet— a plump, jolly baked bean named Brian. Brian isn’t just any bean. He had a shiny orange coat and a mischievous twinkle in his tiny beady eyes. He loves bouncing around, always rolling after Fenwick wherever he goes, laughing along with his fairy friend’s adventures. The two are inseparable, always finding joy in the simplest of things. Brian loves a happy roll and snuggling close to Fenwick. But, now he’s looking for a new human companion. Beans are loose within the jar, with the lid securely shut for safety. Each bean is handmade completely by Morgan, so…
🌿✨ Introducing “The Scrap Collection” ✨🌿 I’m always at a loose end with what’s the correct thing to do with all of the tiny fragment of beautiful materials and perfectly formed ringlet that just aren’t big enough to make a whole dolls dress. I wouldn’t say I’m a hoarder as such, lol! (My Mum would probably disagree), but it always breaks my heart throwing away the last remnants of Morgan’s once favourite shirt. With such a predicament I often end up stashing lots of extra small treasures 😂. Today I’m so excited to show you my latest greeting cards, “The Scrap Collection”, which would you believe, recycles the recycling 😂. Each unique piece is a very beautiful blend of artistry 😂 and sustainability. These black and white doodled cards feature some of my already…
Sunday 26th May, Dear Diary, Happy Sunday! You may remember earlier in the week I suspected that the fairies might be living somewhere a little peculiar and different to the norm. Well, it turns out – I was right! The heavy rainfall woke me earlier than normal today, so rather than toss and turn in bed, I woke and thought I’d have a more productive start. Pip has been here for just over a week now, and whilst in daylight I can usually spy him somewhere in my living room, this morning there was no sign of fairy life. After last weeks hatched escape plan, I suspected he may have taken another wander in to the wild but how wrong I was. Tucked right inside my old milk carton, and with a testament to…
It’s 23:34 on my clock and I’ve just sat down and started to write this 🙈. Grab a cup of tea (& some toast if it’s morning where you are), I feel like it’s going to be a long one! Happy Thursday everybody! How are you all? Can we believe it’s May already? I celebrated my birthday last week and for once the sun shined, I spent the whole day baking myself in the glorious sunshine, the tortoises beneath my feet and hot tea’s on tap. Morgan’s doing fabulous in his growing efforts too. He visited a working farm this week and was put out to earn his keep 😂. He mucked out, collected eggs, fed the animals and his favourite part – built the baby goats a new play seesaw. Apparently he’s now qualified to…
This year is all about my drawings! I’ve found a new love in my illustrations, their quirky new miniature style and their rough, sketchy, crayon like form. My desk had a complete overhaul in January, making way for all over the necessities I’ve needed in order to create the magical collections I dream. The photo below very accurately demonstrates the chaos of the creations within my head and the scene before me each morning. Paints, pencils and props fill every inch of the space I have adding further inspiration and depth to the vivid imagination I have. My first collection of 2024 ‘The Flight of the Fairies’ (beautifully named by my lovely friend Carine) is the very first multi-item story I have created. Each piece I have made within this special little release contains…
December 29th 2022. It was another day the same as the last, waking up sad and upset with no idea which direction my life was going in. The end of the year always seems like the best opportunity to reflect on what has or hasn’t been achieved, doesn’t it? The rain added an extra layer of depression that morning as I laid crying in bed wondering how I could make the next year different and not just another repeat of the last. The person I present myself as online shows is a happy and creative soul with not many worries or stresses, but beyond the dolls my own life is far from the fairytale my fairies portray. Everyday I live in search of my own happiness, clinging to hope of my own dreams and…
Another dream, and huge tick off of my bucket list. My dolls displayed in the very heart of London, in the window, over Christmas in the world famous Pollocks Toy Museum! It was around September time at our quarterly Toy Makers meeting the position was offered and the opportunity to present in the store a piece of my work. The choice of an internal window within the shop; or a front central window display overlooking London in all of its festive glory was given. We spent a fair bit of time discussing the options and eventually settled on the prestige and very popular letterbox red window. We agreed that the festive theme of Red should continue through the display; keeping it somewhat uniformed and in keeping with the traditional shop front. With just a…
After weeks and weeks of endless days and sleepless nights our first sample jumpers arrived. Morgan’s little T-shirt followed a few days later and his resistance to wear a festive favourite was even worse than mine meaning we really have been wearing Christmas jumpers from well before Halloween. 😂 Much like my little teacups, the idea for a clothing range felt a little far fetched although of course a huge dream! After the success of my cups however I did immediately start researching the possibility of clothes, and whilst it’s fairly simple to get a personalised panel printed on a cotton t-shirt the vision I had of an all-over print didn’t immediately jump out at me. And so, the sleepless night begun as I literally scoured every corner of the internet trying to find…
To sit down and sip a hot drink from a teacup I had designed has always been somewhat of a far-fetched dream in my imaginary world. I often browse the famous high street stores and wonder what it must feel like to see your artwork for sale in a shop? And to know something you designed is someone favourite mug – the one they always reach to first out of the cupboard. Then I start to imagine all of the times when a cup is more than just a cup. When it becomes a pen pot, a toothbrush holder, a plant pot or a convenient sitting place for a 7inched fairy! The possibilities of the wrap around designs and stories each could tell. I myself do have a favourite cup, both at home and…
Can you believe a whole year has passed since I introduced Greetings Cards to my collection? The last 12 months has certainly flown by and here I am again at the start of October with a brand New Collection of Festive illustrations. This year I wanted to capture the magic of my fairies and their love of dressing up to tell a tale. I have created four brand new designs featuring some of my favourite dollies from the last 12 months dressed as you’d expect of a mischievous fae; in various silly costumes. Each design show the lighthearted fairy form and captures the stories within my imagination that each dolly represent, and my favourite parts of Christmas. The Snowman for some reason is my favourite, I think I like the innocence of the twigs…
