Forest Creatures and Other Animals!

The show ‘Forest Creatures and Other Animals’ officially opens tomorrow, June 1st and continues through till June 30th.

We, aka Deer Little Forest, spent a busy Sunday last week, traveling up to London and hanging my work ready in time for the June exhibition. It was fab to meet the lovely Debbie (Craft Guerrilla) and Tim (Blackduke and Cashman) who made us feel welcome by making us the best cup of coffee and patiently letting us put random holes in their walls! Sorry guys, seriously tough walls! It all looked great in the end though and it’s such a wonderful space to hang work and we hope you all managed to pop by, take a look round and stop for a coffee and a chat.

Forest Bear gets Crafty this Bank Holiday Weekend!

The Deer Little Forest forges forth with this June’s Exhibition and makes big plans for a second Trade show this Autumn.

Who said it was going to be a relaxing Summer! We can’t help it, we just love being busy and with so many ideas skipping about the trees, it’s never been a better time for the Forest Folk to get busy with sketch pad and pen!

Have a fun filled Bank Holiday everyone.

Big Bear hugs all round! X

Friday Favourites and Inspiration!

Deer Little Forest is loving a great little mix of fantastic illustrators, designers and makers this Friday.

Loving James Ward (Jimbobart) illustration, who I exhibited alongside during London Design week. I’m excited to be exhibiting alongside him at the Craft Guerrilla this June.

Best wall art created by James. What an amazing office to work in!

Isobel Kho’s cool illustrations caught my eye last year during a Wonder Hill market. It was Deer Little Forest’s first Wonder Hill Market and we immediately liked her work! Her work will also be shown at the Craft Guerrilla.

Our favourites from Pulse this year;

OMY– The coolest paper costumes for children. Deer Little Forest just loves them!

The loveliest Pulse exhibitor Lizzie Searle’s range of embroidered and appliqued items are so fresh and adorable and her stand really stood out at the Pulse show!

Loved finding the funky Garudio Studiage at Pulse. Their flat pack pets are perfect for urban dwelling we reckon!

So great to meet Alice Palace too! The friendliest Sisters in the greeting card industry. I love their beautifully, quirky British designs!

Deer Little Forest Meets The Craft Guerrilla!

I’m traveling back up to London this Sunday with some newly framed, original ‘Deer Little Forest‘ artwork and I’m very excited to say I will be exhibiting alongside the very talented Jimbobart (who I exhibited with during London Design Festival last September)and Isobel Kho at the Craft Guerrilla this June!

The exhibition runs from June 1st to June 30th.

Flying With The Kites.

It’s been a week of welcoming new stockists to our Deer Little Forest and a weekend of spending some precious time with my three boys.

After a busy week back from Pulse, we set off for a weekend of kite flying, football and fun by the sea. We are so blessed to live with the forest and sea right on our doorstep. With all this beauty around me, it is the perfect way to unwind and make some space in my mind for creativity and forward planning.

I welcomed Monday with a surge of positive energy, oh and a cup of the best, strong coffee going.

My mind is flying high this week! x

The Deer Little Forest Loves Pulse!

The Deer Little Forest Loves Pulse and what a absolutely fab time we had!

Since returning from our first Pulse show, we simply haven’t stopped! New orders to get ready for our new, fantastic and fabulous stockists and so many new leads and delightful people to contact, it really was a wonderfully, successful show for us.

Our stand was met with much excitement, with so many visitors delighting in our unique and colourful designs. It was an utter pleasure to chat to every single person who visited us and we really have appreciated everyones positive feedback and support.

It’s all go now, with orders to send, and a new and exciting brochure to get ready. New designs and projects too! An exhibition of my original work to organise, oh, and, really exciting little project…………… a Deer Little Story book to finish…………………;-)

The Biggest Thank you and Bear Hugs to all of you who visited us at Pulse and a special thank you to everyone who have helped us to create the most perfect, first, Deer Little Forest Trade Show! X
