It follows the series that you may remember us featuring on the concept of "home". Very much using the same aesthetic, these latest works are both charming and emotional, serving as a reminder that life comes in many beautiful forms.

After a two-year stint in Melbourne, Liz has recently returned to the UK as a full-time freelancer, having developed her style since taking the leap to becoming a solo designer. See more of her work at lizrowland.net and follow her on Instagram.
