This illustration is of my home town, Chester. It's a really beautiful roman city and apparently the 3rd most visited tourist city in the UK! These are 2 of 3 made of these exclusive cushions. They are 100% Linen, have feather inners, measure 40cm/30cm and retail at £40.

I'm not a real supporter of the whole facebook thing but it does have it's pluses, one being that everyones on it and it means i can shamelessly advertise myself and my work and draw attention to my blog and website! But incase you found me through another method then here's the link to my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lizzie-Prestt-Designs/377159417448?ref=ts It has proven to be a good way of creating awareness and seeing my work in bulk, so thank you facebook!

Fashion illustration by Georges Lepape

I bought this card years ago from the V&A, i've kept it in a cupboard never knowing what to do with it but loving the colours and design. On a recent colour mission i dug it out and kept as a reference for colour combination and placement. It helped a little - i can find colour overwhelming, there's to much beauty in it!

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is fantastic and totally worth a visit. Above are some of my photos from my trip there this weekend.

Some of the most boring things can be made brilliant by good packaging. I adore this packaging for these wafers by Curious Chocolates and the pretty little houses by Rococo Chocolates.

Olive pots, the left one is for the whole olives and the right is for the pips - as you can see they've gone to heaven.
