Long time, no see!<br />
<br />
Throughout August, I'm running a BOGOF on all prints in my Folksy shop. Take a gander at all the deets and tell all your mates:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A couple of weeks ago I was given a wonderful old book of fairytales with the most amazing 70s flowery endpapers in eye-watering shades of orange and pink and black, and thought something similar would make a fantastic fabric design. Lo and behold, just a few days later, I read the latest Spoonflower competition was for a floral border fabric so it was obviously meant to be.<br />
<br />
I started off using the same colours as the original endpapers for that authentic 70s vibe, but after a bit of faffing about, went for a blue background. The overall <i>shapes</i> of the flowers are pretty similar to those on the endpapers - I love 'em so much, and they're so evocative of the time - but I had lots of fun playing about with the centres and the patterns within.<br />
<br />
This is my final design:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/brightonbelle/16704077573" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="70s flowers blue by Emma McCann, on Flickr"><img alt="70s flowers blue" height="379" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8746/16704077573_aea211ed13.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
And rotated 90° with a width of 42":<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Ready for tiling up like so:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/brightonbelle/17323916081" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="blue spoonflower by Emma McCann, on Flickr"><img alt="blue spoonflower" height="446" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7716/17323916081_4614a680a9_o.jpg" width="550" /></a></div>
<br />
I've also done a version with the full-on 70s orange background and a white, plus three complimentary fabrics with an all-over retro flower design in all three background colours. If you want to check them out, my <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/brightonbelle?filter_action=collection&info_action=&nav_action=all&shop_selection=all_collection&sub_action=new_profile">design library is here</a>, and if you'd like to vote for my fabric (or, indeed, any of the fabrics) in this week's competition, you can do so <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=301">here</a>.

I hope this goes well; it's a bit of an experiment.

<br />
I'm reluctantly selling all my Gocco gubbins on ebay at the moment, including these lovely yellow bulbs. I tried selling it as a job lot, but it didn't go, so I'm separating out all the different elements. Please do take a look if you're interested or need to top up your supplies <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/emma_mccann/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=">here</a>.* The machine itself is not up yet, but will be in a day or two. Thanks.<br />
<br />
*If you're also interested in retro-style dresses, I've got two up for sale there, too!

My original publishers, Meadowside, have been amalgamated into another company, getting rid of a lot of their back list in the process, meaning the rights to Munch, and my first book <a href="https://childrens.alburybooks.com/book/not-set/fish-don%27t-play-ball">Fish Don't Play Ball</a>, revert back to me to do with what I like. So, both titles are now available on print on demand through the lovely <a href="http://www.alburybooks.com/">Albury Books</a>, run by one of the guys who started Meadowside in the first place. There is also an ebook of Munch coming very soon, which is very exciting.<br />
<br />

There'll be three copies of the new edition up for grabs next week, complete with signed dedication and few postcardy goodies chucked in, too, so keep your eyes peeled for all the deets.Emm@http://www.blogger.com/profile/10778888925283719532noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22413515.post-21392347459818803902015-04-21T15:04:00.001+01:002015-04-21T15:04:26.389+01:00Studio Clear Out OfferAt the beginning of this month, I had an offer running in <a href="https://folksy.com/shops/emmamccann">my Folksy shop</a>, 20% off everything.

The Six Wives started out as illustrations for one of the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_n_0?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A266239%2Cn%3A492672%2Ck%3AHysterical+Histories&keywords=Hysterical+Histories&ie=UTF8&qid=1428924178&rnid=1025612">Hysterical Histories/Autumn Publishing</a> series I've been working on for the past couple of years, but which doesn't look as if it is going to go ahead (yet, at any rate). So, rather than just let these babies sit there doing nothing, I thought I'd re-draw them using a new pen setting I've discovered/fallen in love with in Manga Studio, and then colour them up for my portfolio. That, and I really want to do a mnemonics screen print series, so this Tudor green and white version is how I envisage that looking. It would be lovely to print it just using the two colours on some kind of parchment-type paper, or even paper I've aged myself using tea or coffee. That way, each print would truly be unique. All I need now is a bit of moolah to get in the print studio!Emm@http://www.blogger.com/profile/10778888925283719532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22413515.post-14314012961043057632015-04-18T12:00:00.000+01:002015-04-18T12:00:00.881+01:00Survived<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(Maybe I should include those for this year? Hmm). Anyway, it looks like it was a good mix of fiction/non-fiction, and I had the joy of discovering a few new-to-me authors, such as Barbara Comyns and Paul Magrs, which, quite frankly, is the best thing about working part time in a library. <br />
