Aren't these plates gorgeous? They're actually water colour illustrations painted by textile/ceramic designer and illustrator Lucy King for last months issue of Real Living Magazine, where they did a feature on baking for Mothers Day. Lucy's blog is called The Bowerbird, and prior to setting up her own business in 2000, she worked in England for Wedgwood as a tableware pattern designer. Lucy also has an online shop where she sells melamine plates and cards with her illustrations on them. I fell in love with these water colours such a clever idea and so beautifully illustrated by Lucy. Pop over to her blog and have a browse I promise you'll be as inspired as I was. Ohh and I just noticed the July issue of Real Living Magazine has just come out.
