What I wasn't quite prepared for was the overwhelming tidal wave of inspiration that washed over me as I discovered one talented indy after another. Feeling massive disillusion in my day job, I ventured down to Cass Art and bought some shiny new Stabilo pens and drawing inks and started doodling again.
After completing a short evening course at Central St Martins my creative juices were well and truly flowing. I've long been a believer of the mantra 'I tried and failed but at least I tried' and I knew that this was something I had to at least try. As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm not big on self-confidence and, coupled with an inherent meticulousness, my designs have been a long six months (particularly for Mr VKH!) in the making.

Spurred on by an incredibly supportive network on Twitter and my amazing hubby (he won't like me saying that but it's true), I'm delighted to declare Piccadelhi officially open!
I launched my Etsy shop last week and already have one bricks and mortar stockist under my belt. This time next year, Rodders...
I hope you like it!
