I really like Laurie Hasting’s illustrations…

And Alice Melvin’s ...her work is inspired by a love of paper and print and the process of screenprinting images by hand. Animals, birds, pattern and text occur frequently in her work along with the odd teapot as well. Integral to a lot of her work is the making process, and, she loves working on products with an interactive element..

and I have always LOVED Julie Arkell’s work:
Words and phrases she hears, reads and puts together inspire her creatures. She uses paper and glue to mould the figures. Sometimes they have wool features, doll heads, or painted faces. Their arms and legs can be papier mache or plastic, taken off old dolls and re-assembled. The clothes they wear are knitted, sewn and crocheted, with parts of their story embroidered on to them. Houses, boats, trees, chairs and prams are constructed to make up their environment.
