When Naomi's World Meets The Real World...

Massage therapy business Bee Revived have just taken on a new space in Manchester's Northern Quarter, in a gorgeous Georgian terrace building. With a little sprinkle of the Naomi's World magic, pretty little illustrated flowers are now blooming, beautifully framing the antique sash windows.

As well as my illustrated flowers, hand-drawn bees have started buzzing around the place, and the Bee Revived logo itself takes centre stage.

Using the sash windows to entice people in, some of the panels tell a story of what's on offer inside. Free-hand calligraphy lettering, framed with more flowers and foliage, list the treatments available and how to book.

I felt that this little terraced shop building would fit in rather nicely, illustrated alongside my other buildings in my Naomi's World street! But this time it's the other way round, I've brought my illustrations to a real life building.

I've really enjoyed working with the chalk pen on glass, rather than my usual watercolour, pens, pencils and paper at my desk. I love the idea of transforming the windows, and using them rather like a sandwich board to communicate the brand ethos and what's on offer, in illustrated form. And the beauty of this medium is that it can constantly evolve. With each season, the hand-drawn sketches and wording can be updated with fresh seasonal content.
