Here are four new designs hot off the workbench. All are based around my original photography and printed onto cotton.

Yellow fiat Car, silk-lined clutch purse by Red Ruby Rose

 Love these old Fiat 500s, this one was parked up next to a Vespa on an Italian side street... fits so neatly on the clutch shape too :)

Cinque Terre, silk-lined clutch purse by Red Ruby Rose

 Here's a close-up of houses in one of the Cinque Terre towns in Italy, clinging to the cliffs with the waves crashing beneath. Such a beautiful region... wanted to capture the higgledy-piggledy nature of the buildings.

Sadly, Barker my lovely ginger chicken has squarked her last squark. She was a fine pet chicken, her and Corbett (who died 6 months ago) liked nothing more than dustbathing in the yard and tapping on the back door for tasty treats. They would follow me round the garden if I was pottering about, on the off chance that I'd dig up a juicy worm for them. A fine life!

I've not been doing much photography of late. My lovely Nikon film camera keeps jamming and the iphone camera is on go-slow. Well, that's my excuse. The real reason is I haven't felt that inspired to shoot much, paired with having an excitable puppy snapping at my heels (yes, my iphone is full of puppy pics!)

So, I had a look through my iphoto library to get a bit of inspiration and selected five images that I can work on for new bag prints. Here they are at source, the fabric is ordered and hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll be able to share the fabric results here.
