2 WEEKS TO GO!
If you are local to the Leeds area (or fancy a weekend away), I have some exciting news for you...
After 18 months of a pandemic, dropping out and starting over, and eventually graduating with a 1st class BA (Hons) in Textile design, I have a real life, in-person exhibition!! π₯³
Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of October 2021 at Leeds Corn Exchange.
Keep posted for more details in the coming weeks, and be sure to check out the event (link in my next post)!!
A little sneak of a new paper screen print I've been working on today!
This is the chartreuse/plum colourway π
Who remembers this funky wallpaper I designed last year? π€©
I'd definitely love a version of it on fabric as curtains and a matching lampshade....
Would you be bold enough to have it hanging on your wall? β€π
Hello!
Hopefully some of you know me - I am Lana Jane, and I am a printed textile designer and mid-century enthusiast from Yorkshire, UK.
As part of my final project at university, I am looking to design some bespoke prints for individuals with exciting, varied, and interesting collections of interior MCM objects.
My project looks at the individual as a curator of their own retro home β exploring personal and individual narratives through the objects collected.
Ceramics, furniture, lighting, clocks, chairs, barware, nick-nacks etcβ¦
If you have a collection of mid-century objects, I would love to see them and potentially honour your collections of objects in a print design. Please send me a message or email [email protected] with photographs of up to 10 mid-century objects from your home that you love, and I may choose them as inspiration if I think it is right for the project!
See attached examples of my work and I look forward to hearing from some of you!
Dreaming of owning an original Eames wire chair...π΄β¨
This first image is a technical sketch of a 1951 Chair. I often need to understand the shapes by drawing an object accurately before I can then abstract it in my own way.
The second is a drawing done in 2 layers - colour separated using a lightbox - and then digitally combined.
A bit of inspiration today in the form of my living room curtains. They're original 1950s and the colours are still so beautifully vibrant.
I can't preach enough about the benefits of being surrounded by colour and pattern.
Really excited that my business cards arrived!!
Thank you π
It's the weekend!! π
I'd usually spend my day off visiting antique shops for some bargains and inspiration! Unfortunately this lockdown means finding inspiration elsewhere.
This pattern is based off 1950s and 1960s formica top tables, some in the "Paint Palette" style - useful for fitting around a chair arm - and others with the more atomic forms.
With all the change that has happened in these last few days, Christmas already feels like it was months ago!
I didn't make any commercial Christmas cards last year, but this one-off for a family member might inspire me for next year!
Throwback to cutting out a teeny tiny number plate for this commission for the brilliant .adey ! π
I'd love to see my Western Night time border print on some real life clothes. What do you think? β¨

Loved doing this papercut commission last month π
Sent a blue A4 Western print out today to the lucky winner of the giveaway I was a part of leading up to this Christmas, celebrating small businesses and creatives.

I adored making this custom papercut for a friend, and I'm so glad I can finally share it with you!

In addition to surface design, I'm also into crocheting as a hobby. I'm very proud of persevering and him, and he will hopefully take pride of place on my studio wall soon π¦π
He's from a pattern from the book "Animal Heads" by Vanessa Mooncie.
A prototype pouch in one of my collaged prints from my 'Heritage' collection, all the way from Second year. I love looking back at old work and seeing where my influences and interests stem from; seeing this trail leading to now, showing how I've formed a love of texture and colour.
