Growing corners of my little garden studio
🌱
At our new house, nestled amongst the vegetable beds right at the end of our garden sits my new home studio, freshly painted and with a new lease of life. The previous owner had used this shed for painting, so I am very happy to continue it's creative legacy. It is fast becoming my favourite place to sit, listening to the birdsong whilst carving and looking out onto the fields behind us.
Now the garden and beds just need to catch up. Swipe to the end for a before!

Five years ago, I entered Pooky’s Shades of Brilliance competition as a design student, wide-eyed and hopeful. Now we’re on our third collaboration, and that still genuinely stops me in my tracks.

For this collection, we took a different approach. Rather than designing new pieces from the ground up, we looked at my newest fabric and wallpaper collection and imagined it as lighting. The aim was to bring a fresh perspective to the spring floral - botanical silhouettes that feel alive and a little playful, in a palette rooted in the English countryside. Cornflower blues, canola yellows, softened with earthy undertones to keep everything feeling warm and grounded.

I was right in the middle of a big life change when these prints came together. I’d just left London, trading the city for the countryside, and I found myself utterly absorbed in a new world of colour and texture. I was sketching plants from my own garden, genuinely inspired by everything around me: the rusty reds of autumn hedgerows, golden yellows, the grey-blue of coastal skies.

It genuinely humbles me to see my prints in people’s homes. I believe that colour and pattern have the power to bring joy into everyday spaces, and that’s exactly what I hope these pieces do for yours ❤️
Five years ago, Ellen entered our Shades of Brilliance competition as a design student. Her combination of traditional hand block technique with a vibrant contemporary style blew the judges away, and her winning Poppies design has since become a firm favourite among Pooky customers.

Today, we’re launching our third collection together, and we couldn’t be more proud.

Meet our latest collaboration with Ellen Merchant: a reimagining of her signature fabric and wallpaper prints, translated into light. Think playful botanical silhouettes, an English countryside palette, and that unmistakable ability she has to make colour feel like a feeling.

Cornflower blues. Canola yellows. Soft, earthy tones that ground it all beautifully.

Designed to bring a little joy into your space, and we think it does exactly that! What do you think?

I thought I'd finally share my own wedding invitation design that I made back in 2023. I hand screen printed every single invite like a madwoman (it was a fairly small wedding, but still). I printed on all the envelope backs using my 'Posy' textile screen, putting a folded post it note in the centre so that I had a space to write the address.
I also hand blocked a flower motif and stripe border on the hems of all my bridesmaids dresses!
