Icon Africa Postcards

I have been working with a talented friend of mine, Jessica Nicholson. She has been doing all my illustrations for my Icon Africa range. We started off with South African flowers, then the birds came and from that it lead to the postcards. We think they are great. The flower and bird illustrations are for a range of wooden brooches and fridge magnets. Here are the postcards.

Birds for Africa

Here are some new designs that I have got. Birds from South Africa and Africas. Looking forward to showing them at the I Heart Market on Saturday. Thanks Jess for the Illustrations

Flowers for Icon Africa

I have been working on a range called Icon Africa. It is about South African flora and fauna. The first in the range was the flower range. The illustrations were done by a good friend Jessica Nicholson. They started off being fridge magnets, as all the "South African" fridge magnets I had seen were rather awful and a bit gaudy, so this was to produce something that had more style. I then realised that they would make great brooches as well. I love how the wood has turned out.
