JUST NOW!

Just when Stories is now available to purchase from all good booksellers.

Not only does it feature illustrations by the the Beatrix Potter of New Cross (me) but it has within its covers stories by esteemed authors such as Michael Morpurgo, Hanif Kureishi and William Boyd, but best of all the profits go to Wildaid.



This pink headed duck features in a story by Alice Newitt, who's name suggests she might be an Edwardian scullery maid whereas in fact she is a talented 14 year old who won a competion to have her story included. All the animals featured in the stories (including this crazy looking duck) are endangered or extinct.
A limited edition silk-screen print of this is now available. Profits from the sales also go to Wildaid. For details contact us at info@lushlampshades.co.uk.

Carnival Time

Another bit of Lush Designs history for you,

Its that time of year when the thoughts of the wild and crazy folk turn to CARNIVAL.
There's the extravagant Mas of Trinidad, the opulent sexuality of Rio De Janeiro, the toilet queues of Notting Hill...

and there's Deptford..

At one time in our long and windin' career we designed children for carnival use. This archive photograph was taken around 1992.

Note the purple socks. we were famous for that.

Raspberry beret?

To be fair, Prince gets it right most of the time - but what he really shoulda been singin' was...
