Crabtree & Evelyn 1st Nov 2011

Everyone has a handful of Dream clients that they'd love to work for. One of the names on my little wishlist is the beautiful brand Crabtree and Evelyn... and they commissioned me this year!
I've worked on 4 projects for them to date, here's a sneak peek at the first 2 products to be launched, which I worked on with the nice folk at Smith and Milton.
Pomegranate Grove and Windsor Forest are 2 new additions to the Crabtree and Evelyn Home Fragrance collection. We used the botanical ingredients of each scent as inspiration and created illustrations in various formats which could be used across the wide range of products in the collection.
Featured here are the scented candles -encased in opaque glass tumblers and wrapped in delicate illustrated ribbons, fragrance oils in teeny tiny Alice in Wonderland sized bottles and misty room sprays in tall skinny bottles wrapped in gold foliage.
Treat yourself to some Crabtree and Eveyln perfumed perfection here.




And here's a sneak peek at the behind the secene bit; some of the prelim drawings and sketches...




More inking for C&E to be released soon...

Yesterday as part of my 46th birthday celebration... I went to do some shopping. I went over to C&E and to get the candle. The lady was surprised how fast I made up my mind... and she said... already??, I replied... yes! she asked me... did you shop with us before... I said .. NOPE! I am here just to get this as it was designed by my super talented friend Johanna Basford... she said... Did Sandra Lee asked her to this beautiful new design... I said YES! isn;t ir marvellous! ... she said.... so what do you do?? are you a designer too??! I said nope! I am a child photographer and Johanna had designed my new logo. She is fantastic!
so there is my story from yesterday for you.
