Recently, my patterns have been inspired by nature and the sea. It is no secret that I love the peace and tranquility that walking along a deserted beach provides.

Walking along, nothing is identical, whether it is the sand dunes, driftwood, stones, shells or the puddles leftover by a receding tide.

I originally made a can cover as a child in a girl group called the ‘Brownies’. We wrapped and stuck a strip of fabric around cans and used them as storage containers for pencils. Mine has stood the test of time and I am still using it today!

The Boardwalk Can Cover is the second design in ‘The Explore Collection’. It reminds me of a boardwalk that I have walked down many times on holidays in Wales, United Kingdom. It was found at the end of a quiet country lane and was the only way down to the beach. The lines represent the little gaps between the planks of wood.
