Lots of Ibises ! This is probably my oldest design still in production and is not only available on lamps and shawls but also on facemasks, notebooks and notecards. (If you'd like a bargain these two shawls are seconds @£50 each. DM me if you'd like one.) #lampshades #handpainted #silkshawls #handprinted #ibises 
Lunch in the garden on #gardendayuk - just warm enough to sit out, though clouds are now gathering. Still, it's asparagus season so what's not to like ? #alfrescodining #asparagusseason #smallbackgarden #lunchinthesun 
An 'homage' to @pavilion_parade ! Dressing up in my beautiful new shoes for no particular reason ( except that it's a sunny Sunday). They go very well with my Bouquet print shawl. #pavilionparade #promenaders #newshoes #silkscarves #bouquet #redandturquoise 
Just finishing another massive lampshade. It's quite a job ! #paisleyleaf #greenandgold #handpainted #lampshade

A big delivery of cards just arrived including my newest design 'Bejewelled' - available now from my website. #bejewelled #greetingscards #jewellery #valentine #happyanniversary #diamondsareagirlsbestfriend 
It always pleases me when my nails go perfectly with the scarf I'm fringeing. #smallpleasures #handmade #handprinted #fireworks #turquoise #blues #silkscarves

Just printed - a new batch of Indian Stripe scarves, still one of my favourite designs after 20 years. The blue is a 'discharge' dye which changes colour radically throughout the process from almost invisible, to pink, mauve and finally blue. Miraculous. Swipe to see the process. Available from my website. #handprinted #silkscarves #silkgeorgette #stripey #indianstripe #redyellowblue #moreismore 
My 'Fleurie' tablecloth is now available in blue (as well as red). #fleurie #tablecloth #blueandwhite #cressidabelldesigns #alfrescodining #dinnertime @david_bracher - as requested ! 
This lampshade is part of an auction to raise money to keep the @fashiontextilemuseum afloat after a year of losses caused by the pandemic. I painted only 2 of these shades for an article in the @tmagazine Please consider supporting this cause by going to the auction site run by @hollyfoxleeuk and making a bid. Thankyou ! #fashionandtextilesforever #saveftm #handpainted #ftm #fundraiser #oakleaves 
My new print, called 'Mocha' as it's inspired by Mochaware pottery. Getting to the finished article takes some doing. Swipe to see 1. Sketchbook ideas 2. Painted design and 3. Screen positives - one for each colour. Scarves and shawls now available online with more colourways to come. #handprinted #mocha #silkscreenprinting #silkgeorgette #maximalism #silkscarves #cressidabelldesigns #silkart 
Sampling a new print ! My favourite part of the whole process. It's so exciting to see the colours build up for the first time. #newdesign #handprinted #springcolours #mochaware #cressidabelldesigns #silkshawl #silkgeorgette 
I look completely dwarfed by these bespoke lampshades ( though less so in pic 2). They're a bit scary to paint as there's no place to hide if you make a mistake. #blackandwhite #graphic #handpainted #bespoke #cressidabelldesigns
