My pretty floral things...



Simple.

After completing the floral collection I was reviewing my 3 collections so far and I am not completely happy with my 2nd collection of the placement prints with the knit and pattern. Some of the designs work and some of them don't, and as a whole it isn't a very strong collection and doesn't live up to the standards of my first collection and my floral one. So, I have decided to take a new approach/style and just use the designs as drawings. I've taken the composition of the animal doing something, for example Lenny the Lion parachuting and made it one block colour, and added little flowers and birds to it, and a light background, so initially is just 2 colours. I think I may add features to the animals etc and continue it further but this is how each design will start. Also, this collection links Lenny the Lion and his friends to the florals.

Florals

For my 3rd collection I have decided to bring in florals with my animals. I will either draw new little characters such as birds and insects to go with the florals or I shall use Lenny & Co. I have continued using the same drawing style and the same colour palette.
