Friday Fuel - Daffodils
Spotted is bringing in some pre-emptive St. David's Day end-of-week Spring-ey inspo!
.
Daffodils are an annual Spring win. But how else can they be approached you say? Oh here are some absolute Bangors. I'm not sure weather to be inspired or shop every single link. Both probably! I'll be posting daffodil art on stories throughout the day. Tag spotted for a story post!

Foody Pattern Takeover
Todays feature is a broad celebration of all things foodie, from last weeks call out of submissions for food patterns. It's so great to feature all this original and super fun artwork.
.
Food themes are trending hard on the high street and it's an absolute gem of a topic to draw from! It's sparking so many ideas for more narrow food topics. Watch this space for further topic call outs.

Carole Hillman - Folk Roots
How many feature pieces is too many feature pieces as it's so difficult to select from all this delightfulness! Carole's career in fashion has evolved with family life into a freelance living, making beautiful collaborations in textiles, stationery, and printed materials.
.
Her work has a gentle folky softness that is somehow relaxing and at the same time, so energising. I love her overlap of illustration meets pattern! So chic.
