The fabric samples for the tshirts have now arrived from Spoonflower and the colours are amazing. They are so bright and vibrant.

So the next step is getting them onto clothing items which should be available within the next couple of weeks. I will post up some more of the images that will be available soon.

How BIG is BIG ? has now made it’s way to the printers for proofing and printing, hurray . . . after having made a few small changes. It should be printed and delivered in about 2 weeks.

How big is the sky?

Below are some quick shots of the second prototype of my new stool come side table called Xylem.

Xylem is 350mm high and 380mm x 300mm on top. The legs spread out by a further 40mm in each direction. Xylem takes its name and inspiration from the shape of trees hence the name (xylem is the woody part of the tree).

The leaves were created by drilling more than 3000 holes in the top and sides of the Xylem stool / side table (a slow process).

Xylem is held together through finger joints and glue. The finish on the prototype below is a vegetable water based non toxic finish to seal it off.

Xylem can comfortably be sat or stood on and is very stable.

I have now posted some images from the book onto Flickr. You can see these images on the Flicker stream How BIG is BIG? There are three double spreads and the front cover.

Well I have managed to send off a group of images to be printed onto fabric and then sown onto kids tshirts. Most of the designs are taken from my new book How BIG is BIG? in addition to a few additional ideas that I have been playing with.
The artwork is 4 colour and being printed onto a heavy weight 10oz fabric.
The fabric should be in my hot little hands in two to three weeks ready for attaching to clothing.
Below are some of the designs that will be available.
