So excited here at the House of Hopgood ... only one month to go before the publication of the Moomin Crafts book Wanda has contributed to, published by Macmillan. The book features Moomin inspired crafts, starting with these cute upcycled wool felt slippers, from Tove Jansson’s gorgeous and iconic illustrations. There’s a hot water bottle cover, a draught excluder and a pot stand - amongst other fun projects. A big thank you to Emily Ford at Macmillan to making it happen #tovejansson #moomin #moomincrafts #macmillanpublishers #crafts #handsewing #houseofhopgood #skill #upcycle #felt wool #sewing #applique #colour #color

Publication Day! Excited here at Hopgood HQ #moonriver #johnnymercer #henrymancini #andywilliams #houseofhopgood #timhopgood #oupchildrens #picturebook #songbook #greatamericansongbook

This week sees the U.K. release of Moon River. Here at House of Hopgood, we’re over the moon with this latest edition to the classic song collection. For this book, we’ve gone for a lovely textured board on the cover with a foiled title. Inside, the pages feature a limited colour palette that give the whole book a dreamlike quality. And to top all that, it comes with a CD featuring the awesome Andy Williams’ version of the song! #moonriver #houseofhopgood #picturebookart #henrymancini #johnnymercer #breakfastattiffanys #lullaby #bedtimestories #timhopgood #dreams #bedtime #songs #instagramkids #kidsbooks #drawing #bookstagram #andywilliams

Here’s a bright abstract piece I created for Alga-Rhythms (@szajna_0161 and @foybeat). When I get the chance I really enjoy doing something non-figurative. This piece features one of my favourite colour combos, pink and orange. If like me, you enjoy some solid funk, broken beat and rare grooves tune in to @reformradio Wednesday August 15th 5-7pm , that’s Manchester UK time!
