Oooh look at my kaleidescope pattern on a tote bag from Society6, now in use as my mums knitting bag!

Hello I'm Ginette, I do graphic design, art, illustration and surface pattern design.
Here on my blog you can see the pictures i've been making, stuff I've been up to and the inspiration I found in my current home Whistler, Canada.
You can also view my portfolio for more of my design work, find out about bespoke wedding stationary and take a look at the cards for sale in my shop.

Oooh check out my Let's Stay Here pattern on a cushion from Society6, looking right at home on my balcony.
Shhh, don't mention Christmas in October but... I have designed some Christmas cards and they are for sale! These cards are fun and modern and feature my kaleidescope patterns in festive colours. All proceeds will go to charitys helping homeless people have a better Christmas.
Here are some of my patterns available on Society6, on bags and useful zipper pouches, printed on lovely thick fabric which is really satisfying to hold. They are going to make excellent presents because I can't keep them all for myself.
There are lots of new card designs in my shop. I have been collecting lovely quotes and putting them onto greetings cards to send to lovely people. Enjoy!
Some new screen prints now in my shop. The Butter Dish features Tom the black cat, honey, toast, butter and a lovely vase of Hyacinths. Swyncombe Sheep is a view I saw on a recent evening bike ride looking back at Didcot Power Station and the Oxfordshire countryside.
I made a screenprint from my recent trip up to Scotland featuring the lovely yellow gorse and the isle of Arran in the distance beyond the shining sea. Here are some photos from the workshop at Oxford Printmakers of it all coming together. And it's available in my shop!
I have made my own Christmas cards for a long while, and now I worry that my friends would be offended to receive anything else. So here are my Christmas cards for 2015! Each of the four designs is inspired by a wintery poem, which was a great opportunity to daydream about lovely snowy places, starry skys and frosty mornings. I also took inspiration from cosy patchwork quilts, knitted jumpers and woolly blankets. The cards are available in the shop with all proceeds going to charity.
Earlier this year I entered a wallpaper design brief for a really cool company called Feathr, and my designs are actually for sale, amongst all sorts of very creative people and amazing wallpaper designs! I was looking at knitwear and abstract shapes for inspiration, and went for a very mid century/Scandinavian look. It's nice to imagine it in someones lovely house!
