Cecil Beaton Fabrics


As a lover of all things vintage and retro inspired, I love the latest Cecil Beaton fabric collection by Beaudesert. The designs feature his iconic drawings. The one bottom right is Greta Garbo's eye, not sure I could deal with so many eyes staring at me but hey....

These have really inspired my ideas for new designs.

Degree Show and beyond.



Having recently graduated in Printed Textiles, I am beginning my life as a real designer :-). I have to admit its pretty daunting, but exciting too. After a bit of a haitus to recharge my creative energy, I'm thinking up new ideas and starting on new designs.

Here are some images of my degree show piece, which is a 3 metre digital and hand printed length of silk. My degree collections all feature in my online portfolio at http://charlottebarnes.carbonmade.com , if you want please have a look and tell me your thoughts...
