I needed somewhere to hang my hoop earrings and rings so I painted a piece of board and screwed cup hooks into it. I guess it seems quite different from the sort of thing I have in my portfolio, but I've always painted wooden items (from chests of drawers to matryoshka dolls) for friends and family so it is something I find easy and satisfying. I'm quite into William Morris and Owen Jones' Chinese Ornament patterns at the moment so I just painted straight onto the board this floral design. It's a little bit cute and housewifey but I think it works.
