Licensed Designs for Plum Practicewear

I am very happy to show you three designs of mine that became products by American gymnastics activewear brand Plum Practicewear in 2018. ‘Icebreaker’ became part of their winter collection, ‘Waikiki’ was in their summer Coastal Craze collection and ‘Jubilee’ turned out to be a tropical bestseller from their Back to School collection.

In summer 2014 our family travelled around Thailand. On the little paradise-like island of Koh Tao we met Carly Jordan and her… Read More

A Year of Co-Labs

On International Women’s Day (unintentionally) last year Doris Reske and started our first Co-Lab experiment and this weekend we painted together for the 12th time. Over the course of the year we have painted in her studio (a lot!), in the sunshine in my garden, together with little painters and just by ourselves. We had… Read More

Hello December!

So we have come to the last page of Claras Calender of 2015 today: And we have already had the first snow of this season on November 22. Only a couple of centimeters and most of it melted on the ground straightaway. But as you might imagine, the girls were very excited on that Sunday… Read More

Pattern 42/52

This week’s pattern was inspired by a tutorial in the Textile Design Lab, where I became a member in September – highly recommendable! It started out with some watercolour playtime in my studio painting all kinds of stripes: I painted stripes on watercolour paper and also on this strange yupo paper again (which took about… Read More

Hello October!

I am a bit late to the October party, I just realized yesterday. So here is Clara’s calendar page: And it fits so perfectly, being right in the middle of the mushroom season and with the mushroom pattern I created recently. We have had a beautiful autumn so far, with lots of bright sunshine (but… Read More

Harvest Sketches

It is mostly my sketchbook I go to for drawing and painting these September days. And the total vegan foodie that I am, I love drawing all the good things that are in season right now. And then eating them. This is quite a challenge for me, especially with figs, that are one of my… Read More

Hello September!

I must admit, I was quite resistant to turn Clara’s calendar yesterday morning, as it meant the official ending of my favourite season of the year. And summer gave us a nearly tropical day and evening on August 31 as a farewell gift, so waking up to rain and dropped temperatures on September 1 felt… Read More

My Thailand Sketchbook

I brought my sketchbook home brimming with sketches and the feeling of fun I had while drawing them. Nearly all of its hundred pages filled up with memories and the big and little things I saw and put to paper on our Thailand trip. Things, that a camera can’t capture this way. Mostly little things,… Read More

The last pages in my main sketchbook. I have been The last pages in my main sketchbook.

I have been going through quite an abstract/spiritual phase for the last months and didn’t show that body of work here (but might in the future, I have something planned 😉).

An unsuccessful client commission brought me back to loose florals recently and I enjoyed all that was blooming in April and May - cherry blossoms, irises, poppies, peonies. 

And as it is - out with the old, in with new - I started a new sketchbook straight away.

Summer is just around the corner and it definitely Summer is just around the corner and it definitely shows in my recent @patternbank sales. I love that the prints show the broad range of materials I work with - watercolour, acrylics, paint markers, digital painting on the iPad, Photoshop and vector Illustrator prints.

Thank you to all my clients for supporting independent designers like me 🌸😊🌸

Three weeks ago I was dreaming loudly about the fi Three weeks ago I was dreaming loudly about the first poppies of the season here on Instagram. And last week I saw the first Spanish poppies blooming on the way back home from the supermarket, which then took me by surprise. But hey, it‘s May!

Back home I took out my paintbrush and put the artwork in repeat today - and now it’s uploaded and ready for licensing via my @patternbank account. To more poppies to come 💫
