to everyone who visited us at our Open Studio event today at Northlight Studios in Hebden Bridge. There was a lot of interest in the new postcards!

A new toy....

2011-10-12T15:48:00.000-07:00

Couldn't resist.....

Someone tell me.....

2011-09-02T17:04:00.000-07:00

.........why I am still up past midnight staring at a computer screen and photochopping!

Should be sewing.....

2011-08-20T00:54:00.000-07:00

but keep getting distracted!

Back from my jollies......

2011-08-16T11:39:00.000-07:00

and into drawing......

I really missed using photoshop whilst I was away!

Another evening....

2011-07-18T14:54:00.000-07:00

....sewing at the studio. Working towards a textile exhibition but at the very end of the evening had myself some birdie fun....

2011-06-26T13:02:00.000-07:00

Two colourways........not sure which I prefer.....the drawing seems to have a European feel to it somehow

Faces.....

2011-06-10T16:03:00.000-07:00

only time for....

2011-05-31T18:22:00.000-07:00

.....with quick sketches drawn on newspaper....

WOOOO HOOOOOO.......

2011-05-22T04:35:00.000-07:00

...............can't quite believe it but I have gone and rented a shared artist studio space in the fabulous Northlight Art Studios, in Hebden Bridge. It is an artists co-operative with numerous artists from the area working in loads of different media and hugely exciting and inspirational I shall be sharing the space with textile artist and hope to use the space for both my textile work and my illustration work. What fun! I move in at the begining of June....which is so close!.....can't wait.

And..........

2011-05-13T11:10:00.000-07:00

..............my second entry in my own moly - yet more colourful characters. Can you guess who they are?

Moly X 25....

2011-05-11T09:44:00.000-07:00

most recent very late entry........... this moleskin book will now be winging its way to Clare as soon as I can get it into the post.
The first image is one of Harry Bell's fabulous drawings. The planets are my follow on. The theme for the book is "things that go round"

Check out the dedicated Moly X 25 blog and Harry's blog / blogs for more information.

So loooooong..............

2011-05-07T08:38:00.000-07:00

.....since I posted here that I had almost forgotten how to log in! It has been very busy in the Mosley household and a bit of a stressful time coming up - 2 teenagers doing GCSEs/A levels at the same is not good, definitely not good!

So very little creative activity going on here........so just a quick colourful sketch to cheer me up!

Trying out some new colours....

2011-04-08T11:09:00.000-07:00

fun!

more sketching....

2011-04-05T15:45:00.001-07:00

Still sketching.....

2011-04-02T12:03:00.000-07:00

adapted from prints by anita klein and rita kearton - wonderful artists.

Another polar bear.....

2011-03-26T11:28:00.000-07:00

....or at least the same one but a little different (please excuse the watermark!)

Gotta a thing.......

2011-03-21T17:35:00.000-07:00

.....for polar bears at the moment................

Wooooooo Weeeeeee........

2011-03-19T15:52:00.000-07:00

Sorted it - now up and running on folksy. If you have a paypal account you can purchase my cards and prints from there. If you see something on this blog that you like, I can always list it on there for you to purchase. The link to my shop is below.

http://www.folksy.com/shops/KTMoDesigns

Just added .........

2011-03-19T14:15:00.000-07:00

....myself to folksy, hoping to use it as a site to sell my illustrations in the form of prints and cards. Was really excited, spent time making a banner, setting up the look of the shop, choosing an avatar ........... ............ and then for some unexplained reason I find I cannot list anything in the shop.......SO disappointing!

Thought you might like to see the banner though.

..............and if anyone knows where I am going wrong with folksy I'd love to know!

AAAAArgh!!....

2011-03-19T03:02:00.000-07:00

Can't stop drawing faces......and then the colour options are endless!

Inspired by Catriona Millar.........

2011-03-17T18:06:00.000-07:00

I like the muted one best!

doodle day.........

2011-02-26T08:30:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines

2011-02-13T15:52:00.000-08:00

Fun evening.....

2011-02-09T17:44:00.000-08:00

........at the pictures with the kids then a late night photoshop sesh........almost perfect!

Still playing........

2011-02-01T14:34:00.000-08:00

........with photoshop working on designs for cards. Would love to know what you think of these?

They are not very polished as yet........but I just love doing them!

An inspirational weekend...

2011-01-19T14:22:00.000-08:00

....at Top Drawer. It was a bit of a flying visit just to see what it was all about really. BUT.... I was absolutely blown away by the huge array of greetings card designer talent on display at this vast trade show. It was good fun to see it all "in the flesh" and to meet one or two of the designer publishers. I absolutely love the ranges from Earthworks, Lou Mills, Alice Palace, Owaboo, Nella and of course Dots and Spots. I felt very much a wannabe in awe of all the talent out there. I hope everyone had a very successful show.

As for my own designs I am discovering that designing for cards is very different from the doodling and drawing I normally do. I am busy designing away in every bit of spare time I get but I am not sure that I am quite ready to put any finished designs on display here yet. I'm enjoying messing around with phtoshop though.....great fun!

Happy New Year!

2011-01-01T14:36:00.000-08:00

....to all visitors old and new. 2011 is going to be a big year in the Mosley household. Life is changing...... it is the year of GCSEs and A levels, children becoming adults and leaving school days behind, changes on the job front and new things happening...or at least an idea that has been germinating for some time now is coming to fruition.

Many moons ago I designed my first set of greetings cards and instantly sold them to a small independent retailer....only 12 designs in all (and I have no idea if they sold any to the public!) but it was an instant sale and a real ego booster!

Then, I found the Greeting Cards Association and subscribed to their publication - Progressive Greetings. I started to look into the ins and outs of how to go about designing and publishing my own cards.

At first the idea was just a tiny seed and probably wasn't going to go anywhere.   BUT then at the end of last year I took a train all the way down to Southend and attended the Ladder Club seminar run by Lynn Tait. I had an amazing and extremely informative time. A very enjoyable and very welcoming 2 days where I met a lot of wonderful dynamic people and soaked in tons of information about the greeting cards' world.

I was totally inspired and the tiny shoot of an idea became stronger and taller and started to sprout leaves.......or more precisely I visited my local library and borrowed and read book after book about turning a hobby into a business.   The thought of business plans, cash flow statements and financial forecasting was a bit daunting at first but as the jargon became more familiar the tiny shoot of an idea has become strong enough to be called a stalk and hopefully will one day hold leaves and buds and maybe even eventually huge beaming sunflowers!
I don't think I can take this analogy much further!!!!!!!!

Simply put I am about to set off on the adventure of developing and running my own greeting cards business.....and this blog is going to become a record of the ups and downs (hopefully more of the former than the latter!) and all the little steps on the way.

So may I introduce you to...................
KT Mo Designs - cards full of colour quality and creativity..... just for you!

I am currently working on 2 ranges of 12 designs each and re-vamping the old website. I shall be posting a sneaky preview in the near future.
Keep checking in for more of the day to day adventures!

The snow has .......

2010-12-24T10:44:00.000-08:00

seemingly been here forever.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cold.......

2010-12-19T08:56:00.000-08:00

cold and more cold......but very beautiful round here

The days are getting so short now...

2010-12-14T12:21:00.000-08:00

.....there is so little daylight to work by! and my eyes are not up to the strain of permanent indoor lighting!

....still doodling though!

In the pink!

2010-12-04T16:32:00.000-08:00

a moly X 25.....

2010-12-03T13:34:00.000-08:00

....new entry ..... my section of Clare's book

check it out our whole moly exchange on this link

Addicted to....

2010-11-29T14:32:00.000-08:00

doodling, photochopping....and multiples

Miss Prim...

2010-11-11T14:20:00.000-08:00

....and proper...

Been digging through the archives.....

2010-11-05T12:55:00.001-07:00

to find some teacup designs.......must get drawing again!

and now ....

2010-10-31T01:15:00.000-07:00

.....the male version. I have an obsession for playing with the colour change facility in photoshop and find it impossible to decide which one looks best. What do you think?

Just signed up to ......

2010-10-14T10:35:00.000-07:00

......another round of Moly X 25. - a group of 4 keen artists and illustrators across the UK, Australia and USA. We are going to be circulating 4 Japanese folded moly sketchbooks and each adding a few pages of drawing/painting as we go. Round and round till complete. Feel free to follow our adventures on our blog. There is a whole moly exchange scene on flickr .......check it out here. I am thinking of theme-ing my sketchbook as "people" or "faces" or "colourful characters". Not quite sure yet.....

Colourful......

2010-10-10T14:18:00.000-07:00

ladies......

Which one do you prefer???

Just lately.....

2010-10-09T10:52:00.000-07:00

.....its been so cold and autumnal it has been wonderful to spend days at home. We just might be putting that stove on shortly!

November by the sea........

2010-10-02T08:55:00.000-07:00

........not on the beach but at the Ladder Club! It's a long way to go but in the end I decided it was too good an opportunity to miss. So, in mid-November I shall be visiting sunny(?) Southend on Sea to attend a seminar run by Lynn Tait hopefully telling me all I need to know about how to start a greetings cards company. Many moons ago I had grand ideas of using my photographs and photochopped sketches to make greetings cards, wrapping paper and stationery.

(a couple I had in mind)

It never quite got off the ground ..........but in my fantasy world, where every day is endless and there is time not only to do all that has to be done but all that you would love to do too, it is still a secretly harboured ambition. So I am off to the seaside seminar to get some tips of the trade and insight into all that it entails....and one day - you never know - my fantasy may become reality!

Photoshop.....

2010-09-25T17:55:00.000-07:00

.....is a great way to spend a spare minute or two...

and for playing about with colour

Shamefully old picture.....

2010-09-04T14:36:00.000-07:00

.....of pot in my garden to try and remind myself of what my dry, overgrown, plantless garden used to look like. Why are there never enough hours in a day to do everything that needs to be done and everything you really want to do?!!!

Nothing like a few...

2010-08-30T15:17:00.000-07:00

....cheery flowers to brighten up your day!

Now isn't that better!

Holiday drawing....

2010-08-09T15:32:00.000-07:00

...plus photoshop

she looks a bit mean and moody

There was plenty of time......

2010-08-02T16:12:00.000-07:00

....to draw

and to take photos

Been on....

2010-08-02T14:48:00.000-07:00

....my jolly-days

Supposed to be....

2010-07-19T10:20:00.000-07:00

...hard at work creating textiles BUT got a bit carried away sketching and playing with photoshop.

the image is my own sketch but taken froma drawing done by danieltiller on flickr

Doodle....

2010-07-09T11:19:00.000-07:00

....from last night watching the TV......

so many more things to do ...but I couldn't summon up the energy!

The hottest .....

2010-06-27T03:54:00.000-07:00

.....day of the year and the garden is blooming

....and my hay fever is raging!

The luxury of a day off work....

2010-06-02T04:03:00.000-07:00

.....just playing

One more step.....

2010-05-11T14:08:00.000-07:00

.......along the way. Some of those little hearts now have posts soldered onto them. I was ridiculously pleased with myself for having managed to do these without any help and without either melting the wire or buckling the silver.

not quite central ....but it doesn't seem to matter when they are worn. These still need to be pickled and polished.

A lazy morning......

2010-05-09T12:50:00.000-07:00

.......but a productive afternoon.

but they still need filing, and polishing and posts soldering on. I really enjoyed texturising the big discs and love the matt effect.

Photoshopping......

2010-05-08T08:33:00.000-07:00

.........again and loving playing with colour

or do you prefer monochrome...

Tuesday night......

2010-04-27T15:09:00.000-07:00

....is jewellery night. Gradually making progress at these evening classes with Julie Seaman at Radiant Works. Julie is a very patient teacher and my soldering techniques are slowly improving......though I did manage to melt the earring that matched this one

......so thinking of making it into a pendant instead!

I did manage to start on some ear-rings and a bird brooch tonight. I love the textures and patina when they are fresh out of the pickle pot...

My daughter has been coming with me to the last few sessions and look what she made!

.....and she thought she would be threading beads!

Couldn't resist........

2010-04-18T06:41:00.000-07:00

.....posting another shot of that wonderful art shop. Not that this photo do justice to the colours.

Carnaby Street and the area off it had changed a lot since I was last there.

Spring break.....

2010-04-09T12:57:00.000-07:00

in London discovering "new to us" places

.....and possibly the best art shop in the world!

Determined....

2010-03-29T13:45:00.000-07:00

.....not to let March disappear without a single posting here. But lack of time has meant that drawing and sewing and generally being creative has been a little on the slow side. That and a very poorly camera means that any image here has to be computer generated or scanned and a posting wouldn't be a proper posting without an image. So ...... here's a few I drew earlier!

....really missing my camera!

Shapely shadows...

2010-02-21T12:08:00.000-08:00

on a bright but snowy day

Feeling blue.....

2010-02-20T06:20:00.000-08:00

,,,,,my camera has gone kaput! so no pictures of the lovely snow and ice there has been around these parts recently, nor of the wee snowdrops that think spring is sprung and are trying to force their way out of the frozen ground in our garden, nor of the misty morning shots of the snow covered hills .....just a few scans of my latest scrawlings and doodles all supporting jewellery design really or just having fun.

Happy New Year .....

2010-02-03T06:04:00.000-08:00

......plus one month and several days!!. I get the feeling that 2010 is going to fly by. Since last posting we've had Christmas and New Year, 3 birthdays, one mega sleepover and mega party, one anniversary, and two trips to London. My camera died over Christmas and although since miraculously resucitated (not sure that is how you spell that one!) it is definitely on its last legs. In amongst all of that it's been a bit of a problem to find time to post and this blog and my textile blog have been sorely neglected. Today I have an unexpected day off work (courtesy of a very poorly daughter full of cold and sore throat) and it's an opportunity for a catch up both here and with housework.

On a positive note, the SDC show at the Mall Galleries went off well and was a successful event. Sadly, I didn't feel very much a part of it this year as I was unable to make the opening night. But it was great catching up with people on the last day, and I did at least sell one thing.

My New Year's resolution to draw every day has slipped a bit (as has the dieting!!......it's just too cold to eat salad) but I have done a bit here and there.

(all my drawings though some of you may recognise the Danny Roberts image)

....and determined to convince myself Spring is nearly here (despite the odd 5 inches of snow and frosty icy mornings) hyacinths are very much a feature in our house at the moment.

Finally I have used my Xmas present money to treat myself to a tapestry workshop with Fiona Rutherford at her home in Jesmond and a course in jewellery making with Julie Seaman a Huddersfield based artist. I have had three sessions so far and have been expertly instructed how to anneal, texture, punch out, dome, solder .......all I have to do now is master all of that and put it all together!

Here's an example of my efforts to date.

I suppose they could be brooches!

Things will improve I'm sure.

Spent this evening .....

2009-12-14T15:25:00.000-08:00

....experimenting with a few sketches and different colourways using photoshop. Too tired to tinker with textiles and trying to take my mind off tomorrow's trip to the dentist which I am not looking forward to!

nb although these are my own sketches they are drawn from images found on flickr/blogger and are not my own invention!

An unexpected afternoon off work......

2009-12-04T05:58:00.000-08:00

.........and time to play with sketches in photoshop!

just having fun!

Over a month....

2009-11-30T08:41:00.000-08:00

...since Ally Pally and then we did it all again at Harrogate....

I was overwhelmed by the response from all visitors that came over and said hello and would like to thank everyone for all their very kind comments. It was very rewarding to receive such a response, and has been more than a little difficult to come down to earth since.

But I have been working on my "visual studies" with a recent trip to London where I happened upon the newly opened Anthropologie store......an absolute visual feast. I took more than a few photos ....

...the whole store was beautifully styled ....and yes that is a wall of real plants!

Liberty's window displays were good too.....

and covent garden early in the morning is just fab....

Well.......

2009-10-20T11:46:00.000-07:00

.....we made it!
All the way to London and back, and, had a wonderful time. My very supportive husband was with me all the way as we lugged the work down on the train, tube, bus and by foot to Ally Pally and set it all up in my designated space. We then spent a fantastic 4 days of the exhibition meeting the public and other exhibitors and both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The show was buzzing all 4 days.....so many people and a lot of them called by my space to say hello and make some lovely comments. It was great to meet so many textile enthusiasts particularly the students who were very keen and interested.....so many enquiring minds!

Thank you to everyone who called on by. I'm saving a lot of my photos of the event until after the Harrogate exhibition but here's one of the "before" state of my exhibition space.....

and one of my "London" shots to give you a flavour of the experience.
Oh and thankyou Mr. Xstitch for the mention on your blog.......very much appreciated!

The last week......

2009-10-01T01:48:00.000-07:00

....has been non-stop round of drawing, knitting, sewing, taking images, ordering postcards, business cards, booking hotels and train tickets and thinking about the million and one things I will need to do to try and be at least a little bit prepared for setting up my exhibition area for the Ally Pally Knit and Stitch event which starts next Thurs. I'm beginning to think that maybe my bargain rail ticket was not such a good idea after all when I've worked out exactly what I need to take with me next week.

So as a little bit of light relief this morning I took a stroll around my somewhat neglected garden. The remaining flowers are fading fast and everything has a crisp autumny feel to it but there is still beauty to behold.

....and best news of all...... the starlings are back. Normally they would have stripped our Rowan tree bare by this time of the year and the berries have begun to rot waiting for them. But this morning they arrived. I wonder how many days it will take them to munch through the lot!

Taking a brief break.....

2009-09-21T13:39:00.000-07:00

....from relentless sewing to mourn the loss of my digital camera which appears to have given up the ghost at a very inconvenient moment! So here are some images i made earlier as all true Blue Peter fanatics would say!

....first year degree work

a very old pastel drawing.....

and just for fun sewing....

back to the sewing machine!

The sun shone.....

2009-09-20T12:50:00.000-07:00

....yes, even in mid-September!

...and the crowds came (sometimes there was nowhere to stand to keep out of the way of visitors viewing the art!)

....and a wonderful time was had be all at the final weekend of the Saltaire Arts Festival Open Houses Arts Trail.

.....and I even sold a few pieces.

Thank you to everyone who called by! ....and thank you to Paula and Nick for generously allowing their house to be an art gallery for the duration!

Its started.....

2009-09-13T07:29:00.000-07:00

.....the open house artstrail at the Saltaire Arts Festival opened for the first full day yesterday, and is on for the rest of this weekend and all of next weekend. Its a grand day out for all the family so if you are in the West Yorkshire area...call on by and say hello.

Check out our house blog and the festival website for more information! The pictures are of our open house - 6 harold place.

Busy day.....

2009-09-08T07:18:00.000-07:00

....working from home at the day job

... and busy week completing the work for the Saltaire Open Houses whilst continuing to work on the panels for the Knit and Stitch show which is now only 4 weeks away.......and yes I am begining to panic now. I know I like last minute pressure....indeed need it to make me work BUT this time the pressure is in the red, highly dangerous, about to blow zone! ...and to make matters worse its a beautiful day and all I want to do is go outside and enjoy it.

The picture is of the second entry I did to catch up for the moly exchange 25..... but my fellow Australian molyers have not heard of Captain Scarlet. Must be a British thing? Is he known in the States?? It's not actually a good likeness so you may not recognise him anyway.

Even on a hectic chilly September day.....

2009-09-06T07:57:00.000-07:00

.....there are still little "treasures" to find in the garden.

Just a quickie......

2009-09-05T01:35:00.000-07:00

....to show you images of the two molys I completed this week as part of the international moly sketchbook exchange. We are moly x25 and these two books will soon be winging their way to Australia. This has been a fun project to be involved with and across all the artists' books circling the world (I think there are now over 70!) has produced some amazing work.......check out the flickr site!

why not have a go yourself?

Just another......

2009-08-31T00:55:00.000-07:00

.........quick August post to say that I was absolutely thrilled and delighted to be awarded the selectors prize for innovation at the opening of Yorkshire and Lancashire Textiles Open exhibition at the Platform Gallery Clitheroe, this week. It is a wonderful exhibition with a lot of very interesting textile work in a lovely Gallery. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

A short last minute August posting.....

2009-08-29T11:23:00.000-07:00

....otherwise I would not have posted for 2 whole months!!

Now I knew that when I went back to full time work things would prove difficult ....but 2 WHOLE MONTHS, that's not good, not good at all. There has been lots happening and more to happen still but for now I must mention the Saltaire Arts Trail. Once again my work will be on show at 6 Harold Place together with that of all our 6HP artiststs - prints, photographs, paintings, wire sculpture, ceramics, felt and much more.

This flyer gives you a little taster..... hope to see you there!

Aaargh!........now June has nearly disappeared somewhere....

....what is happening???
Well what has been happening is the day job has taken over and my creative life is slowly being squeezed into fewer and fewer available hours. Now the day job is great, and I am acutally enjoying it more than ever but..........
......if only there were 48 hours every day I'd be a happy person!

On a more positive note Harrison Lord Gallery have indicated they would like some more of my work towards the end of the year, so I'm working on that.

I finished my commission which was warmly received - thank you Sian for your patience with that!

The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle put on a fabulous open evening on the 12th. Well worth the trip up. There were hundreds of people there, sparkling wine and lots of interest in my work. I was absolutely thrilled to be part of it all and so overawed I forgot to take any photos!

I've received another invitation from a local Embroiderers Guild branch to give a talk at one of their meetings next year and I'm now trying to find time to work on my new project for Knit and Stitch in October and acutely aware of how time for that is fast running out which is a bit scarey.

The moly exchange is now nearing its final round and I still have one or two more books to work in . I've really enjoyed being part of it and hope my fellow molyers haven't been too frustrated with my inattention to deadlines! It's been great fun!

Our (6 Harold Place) application for the Saltaire Artstrail has been accepted. That is in September and so I am working on that.

I have applied for the Yorkshire and Lancashire Open at the Platform Gallery in Clitheroe........so fingers crossed on that one and I've nearly completed my application for the Mall Galleries in London for January.

Unfortunately I didn't get into the Holmfirth Artweek this year but am looking forward to visiting it as it was great fun last year......I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area and its all in aid of MacMillan Cancer charity.

........and finally I am still working on card designs and taking loads of photos whenever I can and as a post isn't a post without a photo here is a small sample of both....

Where did May disappear to???

.........even June is begining to fly by. I've had no time to post about a weekend spent with the Reveal group and Hilary Bower.

No time to tell you I've just delivered a bunch of work to the Biscuit Factory in Newcastle ready for their Summer Exhibition. The opening is 12th June 6pm to 9 pm for anyone in the area. I'm hoping to make it and think that Paula Dunn from the 6 Harold Place will be there too with her fantastic work.

No time to tell you that I've been researching a new body of work for the Knit and Stitch shows in October/November.

No time to tackle all the gardening/household jobs that are rapidly piling up waiting to be done.

.....and only a little bit of stolen time to enjoy all this wonderful sunshine we have had lately.

I much prefer taking photos in the garden than tackling all those jobs!!!

....oh, and I did manage to find some time to try my hand out at jewellery making......what do you think???

One moly down.....

.....and one yet to complete. This is my entry in Melissa's book as part of the moly exchange no. 25

......and the last time I shall see this book which will shortly be on its way back to Melissa.

....on the Twisted Thread site....the blurb for my exhibition at the Knit and Stitch Shows....and I have to admit to being a little bit chuffed to see my name included in the features list. What an honour!
