Cross Stitcher

SKETCHBOOK SECRETS: Jody Rice

We take a peek at a designer’s early ideas for one of their projects

-

Jody Rice is owner/designer at popular brand Satsuma Street. “This year I began a series of patterns based on the 12 signs of the zodiac. I have a background in animation, which I think comes through in my sketches, especially this one for the proud Leo.

“I’ve chosen to stitch on black, which makes the bright colours come to life. I always keep colourful artwork and objects on my desk for inspiratio­n when I’m choosing floss colours.” www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SatsumaStr­eet
