A big pile of scarves draped on an armchair waiting to be hemmed. It's been a busy couple of weeks printing ! #handprintedscarves #silkgeorgette #tulips #tropicalspot #indianstripe #harlequin #hemming 
Just over 3 weeks to Valentine's Day ! There is a selection of appropriate cards to choose from on my website - and if you love lots of people you can get a bargain pack of nine ! #valentinesday #iloveyou #14thfebruary #dontfencemein #cherieamour #youaremysunshine #rollonendoflockdown #vaccineday 
Joanna Lumley wears my shawls with such style - and I appreciate the free publicity ! Here she is wearing Mexican Tulips at @kneppsafaris - swipe for Indian Stripe, Harlequin, Bouquet, and Tropical Spot designs #joannalumley #nigelhavers #keeleyhawes #silkshawls #handprinted #findingalice 
Painting a bespoke pair of lampshades for @oliviaoutred . It's quite hard to make these tiny curly leaves look as though they are painted with a flourish, while taking great care not to mess up ! #handpainted #bespoke #oneoff #paisleyleaf 
More scarves and shawls hot out of the steamer. This design was originally created for Joanna Lumley and is called 'Harlequin'. It comes in both silk and wool. #harlequin #joannalumley #redwhiteblue #handprinted #geometric #woolscarves #silkgeorgette 
We just printed Indian Stripe in this yellow and blue colourway - not the most popular but I really like it. #handprinted #silkgeorgette #indianstripe #handfringed #blueandyellow 
Sad Christmas presents languishing unopened. Somehow the joy of giving is diminished the longer the wait. 😢 #christmascancelled #lockdownchristmas #allwrappedupandnowheretogo #january2021 
One of my favourite pairs of tights - by @patternity Please make more like this. Keeping up the style in lockdown ! #patternedtights #patternity #stripeycarpet #geometric #monochrome 
Fringeing a new batch of Tropical Spot shawls, hot off the print table. #tropicalspot #handprintedscarves #silkgeorgette #screenprinting #pinkandturquoise #crosshatchnails 
Back to the studio and to painting lamps and shades. Happy New Year ! #handpainted #redgoldandgreen #lampshade #handturnedwoodenbase #topiary #wip 
Beautiful pleated paper decorations given to me by @rosemaryvarley. They look great with my pleated green dress. Now I need to work out how to wear them as jewellery ! #paperchains #pleatsplease #greenandpink #orangeandturquoise #paper 
Top nine posts of 2020. Always interesting to see which ones are most popular. My Chinese pleated skirt seems to be the winner, with TWO places, but I'm happy to see at least some of my designs make it up there ! Of course the photo of Quentin at work takes top slot. #quentinbell #miaochineseskirt #urbanfox #parasolprint #olivierbell #georgeclooney #celestial #lampshades #treesdesign #cressidabellinterior 
Bring back the sunshine of last week please ! This is such a glum time of year if there's nothing but cloud. #gloomanddoom #postchristmasblues #stormyweather #christmastablesetting
