big christmas





Christmas day was slightly bigger than usual, at times chaotic but fun. We had visitors from Japan, Shanghai and relatives from France.  We ate cold rolls, cherries, dumplings, pavlova and brandy Christmas cake ice cream and two hour long pressie session. Special thank you to my Mum for being the centre of it all.
Hope you had a good one x

taking flight

Umbrella Prints first brought out Bird in Paradise in 2008.  With an impossibly intricate repeat, an allover lace-like pattern, imaginary birds in an illustrated leafy wilderness we could not find anything like it on the market.  


Nearly two years later we have started getting emails, phone calls, a publisher and magazine photo shoot requests for Bird in Paradise.  We are so glad we kept faith in this design.


A new short run has just arrived in colours Bambi, Flamingo and Olive hand screen printed onto our custom made natural organic hemp/cotton. It is available as meterage and in 50cm x 60cm pieces in both our online shops and at Nest Studio now.

I met this beautiful horse in Robe; he galloped to the fence to see us the next day.  Such lovely eyes.
More pics soon; have to catch up on some work.
