Happy Christmas & New Year!

The team at Rachael Taylor Designs would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas & we hope that you all enjoy a fabulous New Year!

We will be taking a break from the studio for the festive period & will return on the 3rd of January. For our last post of 2012 we would like to share with you some highlights of the year! We designed so many new products this year, attended Top Drawer London, created our brand new, bespoke online store & launched 'MOYO' Magazine with our amazing MOYO dream team (we now have two successful issues!)

Recently we signed with the prestigious Lilla Rogers studio & have already received lots of wonderful licensing! We have also been blown away by the success stories coming from our students & graduates of The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design! It seems that there is a real buzz about our e-course talent, the #ABSPD team is so proud & truly grateful!

In 2013 you can look forward to even more colourful products including more aprons, tea towels, bespoke lighting & brand new digital & screen printed cushions. Watch this space!

Enjoy & have a wonderful time whatever you are doing!

To celebrate the day here is some lovely Halloween inspired design from the wonderful world of Pinterest to get you in the spooky mood. Remember to dress up, have fun and give the kids all the sweets they want!

Enjoy! Kelly :)

Sunshine!

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter break & managed to enjoy some of the sunshine we've been having recently. Here are a few images that I took over the weekend whilst out running with my lovely dog Alfie (they are just snapshots from my phone, but I thought some of the blossoms were really pretty!)

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! hope you have all had a great week.

Just a quick post today as I thought I'd share a couple of designs that I did for Chinese New Year briefed in by the talented team at Tigeprint which are now on sale on the Marks & Spencer personalised website

Oh Christmas Tree!

Hello Thursday Friends!

We're getting closer to Christmas and as exciting as it sounds I find it a bit sad because I love the build up to it, but oh well, it's a great ending to a fab season.  So before we're all finished with the cheerful, loving, sing-song spirit, one more exciting decoration.

I came across this beautiful Christmas tree wall decoration on Etsy, created by Ellen Giggenbach from New Zealand.  It is a wall sticker, but unlike most of them it has a fabric-like texture. Easily removable, it won't leave a mark and a great option for small flats with no space for a 3D tree.

I love the 1950´s and 60's inspired shaped and the feel of the texture.  Do check out Ellen's Etsy shop and consider it if you don't have a tree yet!

Have a wonderful Christmas! love Moni!
