Inspiration and Techniques

I've always been interested in foraging for food, as a natural complement to growing my own - and who doesn't like free food? However, I've never been adventurous enough myself to go beyond foraging for berries and other fruits, but I wanted to create a set of illustrations detailing some of the more easily-identifiable edible fungi to be found in the British Isles.

This mug features detailed pen and ink illustrations of nine varieties of edible mushroom with a hand-written name label and using a vintage-style colour palette.

Sustainability is important to me and I source all of my mugs from an ethical and environmentally-responsible, UK-based company. I don’t use any plastic in my packaging and there’s always a little extra something in your order as a thank you for supporting my small business.

A percentage of my profits goes to support a number of local charities that look after our built and natural environment here in North Northumberland.
