Spring Break

It's that time of year again when I'm taking a little seasonal break from the Karika Nova blog. It's a little sooner this March owing to early preschool closure, unusual times! I will be continuing work on exciting new releases and projects for launch later in the year. In the meantime catch me on Instagram + twitter for updates. Wishing you all a lovely Mothering Sunday and a happy Easter. Keep well xxx

Luminaire Spring Season

It's starting to feel like spring here in Manchester, with that in mind and Mother's Day next week I thought it'd be a good time to share some extra photos from the Luminaire Spring collection.

Designed for Katie Phythian Design, the Luminaire collection features a fresh colour palette with painterly washes on a textured watercolour style FSC certified board. The seasonal illustrations inspired by Katie's travels in France include classic hearts, fabulous flowers, easter eggs and balloons. Following on from the Valentine's seen earlier on the Karika Nova blog there's Mothers Day, Easter & Father's Day now available in the shops.

Carson Ellis - Home

It's World Book Day tomorrow and following on from my last post on the fabulous John Rylands Library it seemed like a good time to take a look at our new favourite book here - Carson Ellis's Home. The fabulous book takes us on a journey through the many different types of homes from houses in the country, flats in the city, homes on buses, boats and even a shoe. At the end we find the artist herself in her studio looking at the objects which inspired the book. The illustrations are beautiful and unique. Along with Alemagna's Do Nothing Day Carson's Home most certainly has pride of place on our book shelf.
