Dog Cockles linen cushion
My Dog Cockles illustration printed onto linen and made into a cushion.
A duck feather cushion pad is included, however if you would like an alternative to feather, for example a hypoallergenic pad, please let me know when placing the order.
Size: 40cm x 40cm (16in x 16in)
Each cushion is made by me, and is therefore unique – it may vary slightly from the photograph shown.
The Dog Cockles look like they have been hand painted by the sprites of the sea, each one is unique and tessellated with irregular orange shapes through to blue and brown stripes. They are also called Amande de Mer in French (almond of the sea) The strandline is where the sea meets the sand, and I love beachcombing for interesting shells and pebbles amongst the flotsam and jetsam which is washed up.

George and Arthur surfing men with beards
My illustrations are inspired by my family’s wooden board surfing heritage. My grandparents (Arthur Roy and Olive Augusta) both grew up in Perranporth in Cornwall, and my grandmother’s family started surfing and making wooden boards after the First World War. I remember my great Uncle (also called Arthur) taking his wooden belly board down to the beach at Perranporth when he was well into his 70s! His son told me recently that Uncle Arthur had made his own Malibu surf board in the 1950s.
George is my new guy, he is modern vintage Cornish. He wears his hair in a quiff and sports a magnificent beard. A dapper kind of chap, he loves living by the sea, and when he’s not in it he is doing something creative like whittling a wooden spoon or cooking fresh mackerel on an open fire on the dunes, watching the sunset.

Olive Augusta Surf Girl print
Best seller Olive Augusta is one of my designs from my Vintage Surf set of illustrations. This print would make the ideal gift for someone who loves the water, whether it is swimming in the sea, or ponds, or lidos, or surfing with traditional wooden boards. Belly boarders love this print, and I’m often told that they had a hat like this flowery swim hat, or that they still have their wooden boards in the garage that they learnt to surf with.
My grandmother was called Olive Augusta, and although I don’t have a photo of her in a flowery swim hat, I like to think that she would have protected her perfectly coiffed hair in something very beautiful and rubbery against the salty seawater!

Puffin print
A lovely graphical image of a Puffin which will become a firm favourite of the young ones in the family.
