Owl and cat designs.

I recently went to a craft show at Tatton park in Cheshire. It was there that i discovered the beautiful designs, illustrations and crafts of design company, Owl and Cat. The company was established by Nottingham surface designer and illustrator Ester Hall. Her designs are inspired by children's toy's, 1950's posters and book illustrations. Ester Hall has illustrated children's books and her lino print's can seen on cards, stationary and personalised prints, sewing kits and novelty bag's are available too. I found her designs contemporary, simple and a pleasure to look at.  The characters and designs are original and the use of a white void in the background, keep the  focus on the illustration with out the fussiness or distraction that many recent illustrations have.They could  easily be attractive to all generations and be the perfect personalised gift
