Leopard spot print for Cleverpup. Designed by paigecritchley.com Print Designer

Stylish Leopard Print Design for Dog Accessories

Really happy with this leopard spot print design that I created for Cleverpup, a dog accessories brand based in New York, US. This was a fun print to design and it’s always fab to see the photos once the product has been released. I think my favourite product is the transit tote, I just love the photo of the sausage dog happily sitting inside!

I have created prints for other products like these – check them out by heading over to my portfolio and go to product, you can click the tab at the top of this page or >click here< to be directed.

Teddy bears!

print design

I created a print design recently that features lots of little teddy bears! The brand is called Bianca and Bear and my work is now live on their website! The print features on a lovely jogger set, see it here, or view the images below. I always enjoy creating prints for kids and baby wear as it allows me to draw really cute motifs and elements with fun characteristics. I’ve added some images below of the final product and artwork.

I also designed the embroidered bear that features on Bianca and Bear’s other products. I’ve posted a photo below:

BA hons textile design

My final major project, ‘Favela’, is done! It’s been a long and tiring journey but I’ve enjoyed it so much, and I can’t wait to see what is in store for me in the near future.

After having some well earned rest, my plan is to continue creating designs that excite and encourage me to fulfil my true potential as a Printed Textile Designer.

I’ve been using Mapper today to create some visualisations. It’s exciting to see what my designs would look like if I made them into garments. My collection mainly features baggy t-shirts and light shirts.

Spaghetti hoops and bug spray

I’ve been using Illustrator and Photoshop to develop some of my paintings of bits of rubbish and recycled items used in slums. They are now much more graphic and iconic. I’m excited to see what these prints will look like once they have been enlarged to A0 size or larger.

New direction

Uncategorized

I’ve decided on a new direction with my paintings. The idea is to place them into shapes contained within my cans and other bits of rubbish featured on my prints. It will be a much more graphic approach to tie both ideas together as currently it feels as if I have two projects on the go. Prints will feature large simple abstract shapes that will contain my paintings.

Paper to fabric

Uncategorized

It has been a bit of a struggle trying to get my paintings onto silk, particularly because the reactive dye printer keeps packing up. However, today I’ve managed to get a few samples done (A3 size) to get an idea of scale. I’m really looking forward to getting these blown up to A1 or bigger. Stay tuned!

Cross Dyeing Devore

Uncategorized

I’ve got a new obsession: cross dyeing devore. I’ve been trying so many different colour combinations with silk/viscose fabric. It’s been a bit of a challenge as some dyes don’t work, but some have worked amazingly! I’ll be making my favourites into samples next week so stay tuned!
