  • Where can I purchase your Art Journal and why is it not in your shop?

    I sell my journal on ‘Lulu Press, Inc.’ - here you can purchase your copy direct from the printer.

    I am not currently stocking this item.

    Who benefits from the purchase?

    In purchasing a copy from Lulu Press, you are are supporting my small business, as I receive a small commission from each copy sold.

    Who designed the journal and who can use this journal?

    I designed this journal to assist with my own design process for the production of fabric surface designs. I then decided to help other artists and students abroad in having access to one of my tools.

    What does the journal contain?

    This journal contains a combination of blank pages for illustrating thoughts, small scale graph pages for sketching compositions/colour charts and recording art mediums for swatch colour conversions. A self-guided journal to note down your inspiration, thoughts and ideas.

    Page surface is ideal for lead pencils and colour pencils. the spiral binding also allows you to easily remove pages so you can store them with your artwork, or you can leave them in your journal.

    Journaling during travels...
    The original concept was developed to help designers abroad, for those in professional roles. An easy flip spiral bound book to pop in your bag for your next holiday. This journal is particularly helpful for those who enjoy recording their inspiration and colour concepts - a great tool for surface designers in building a solid design concept.

    You can reach out to me via my CONTACT page.

    I strongly suggest you contact Lulu Press, Inc. as your first priority.

  • Where can I purchase your Art Print and why is it not in your shop?

    I sell my art prints direct with Bluethumb. I am able to be connected with other artists and work towards building my profile and having access to news, events and sales.

    You may also wish to view my ‘SHOP HANDMADE’ page in the near future. I am currently building on my business in the development of selling more designs within my own website.

    I am not currently stocking art prints in bulk.

  • Where can I purchase your fabric prints?

    At present I am only taking online bookings. This process commences with the customer reaching out from my CONTACT page.

    I am still working towards the delivery of an online booking form that I will have available in the near future.

    What happens next?
    Messages will be answered within 5-7 business days. From there, we commence the communication line to learn more about your business needs.

    What fabric can I have your designs printed on?
    Your options are almost considered endless, as I have sourced a number of printers that I can work with and depending on the scale of your print run (quantity per metre), we can work towards gaining quotes.

    Where do you have your designs printed?

    I print with Australian printers for commercial production.

    Why do you not stock your fabric in bulk and sell direct?
    I am conscious of the environment and prefer to prevent waste and landfill. This also allows customers to purchase the exact quantity they require, fresh and direct from the printing press.

    Do you test your fabric designs?
    Yes, I always encourage my clients at the time of booking, to order x1 metre of the design in print on the fabric of their choice. This will allow you the time to review the design on fabric, before you commit to orders exceed x5 metres.

    Are you able to work a custom design?
    I am not currently taking orders for custom designs;

    Many of my designs you find on my Instagram page are prints that that I designed and obtained test prints from Materialised. Some of these prints were sewn and prepared into cushions for sales in my shop.

    Some of the designs prepared for test print by Materialised may eventually be moved to another platform;

    This process is currently not within my control and I am working towards opening up a page on my site that hosts unique commercial designs for trade clients.

    I will continue to work Materialised for commercial trade enquiries.


  • On occasion I will load handmade products that sample my fabric prints. These products are listed as handmade by the artist, unless specified otherwise;

    Meaning some products might also be listed as print/custom made products. These products are produced direct from the printing outlet and stocked at the FinBok Publishing - home studio.

    Sorry, I am not currently shipping international orders.

    Why do you only sell the cover and not the cushion, or pillow insert?

    I don’t stock supplies and many customers have their own preferences for the firmness of their cushions and pillows. I recommend that you purchase the cushion and/or pillow that suits your needs.

    Do you accept returns on handmade products?
    I take responsibility for my services and products.
