I'm super chuffed to be included in Charlotte River's new book I Heart Stationery.  

I Heart Stationery is a very cute book showcasing a broad range of stationery products from cards, gift wrap and postcards, to notebooks, calendars and diaries.  The book covers work by designers from around the world (including several Australian entries), but best of all it's divided into chapters based on the techniques used to create the stationery items, such as hand-drawn illustration, block printing, digital illustration, letterpress, screen printing, collage and calligraphy.

Each section focuses on a particular technique with photos of the featured artists’ work, an introduction to the processes employed and a list of the tools used. 

I love that the book is divided into techniques, and it's great to see a variety of creative peeps making different products and designs in each section.  I'm lucky enough to be included in the hand-drawn illustration section with my range of watercolour floral, vintage tableware and cup-cake cards.  Yay!

A very BIG Thank You to Charlotte for including me in her fabulous new book, it's amazing to be featured alongside so many fabulously talented artsits from around the globe and I'm very flattered to be included. 

You can visit Charlottes website and she also has a gorgeous blog Lottie Loves which is well worth checking out (I was featured on her blog back in May last year, you can see the post here) as well as her children's blog Little Lottie Loves - phew she is one clever and busy lady!
