About piglovesgiraffe

piglovesgiraffe

I make fun things.... Illustrative and vibrant accessories to create a style that makes you smile

I graduated from my design degree many moons ago (maybe not that many- I'm only 31), and have since been grappling with my desire to be outside, working with people and my overwhelming nature to create. And so I try to do both. It's good for my overactive mind to have a break from creating, being in touch with nature is good for inspiring new projects - i can't go by a week without working on something new. I love trying out different techniques and working with new materials but my niche is that of fabric and paper. My style is bold, quirky and illustrative. Whether I'm drawing with stitch or pen, as long as I'm making a decorative mark I am happy. I am drawn to pattern and minimalism. Contrast and out of the ordinary are amongst the things I seem to instinctively achieve in my creations.

I work in my attic studio at my home in the Calderdale valley, where i live with my boyfriend and adorable cat Holly. If you're allergic to cats please be aware that she sometimes likes to get involved.
