Winona zine

I made a Winona zine! I've been talking about this for a while now and it's taken a while because I wanted to make sure I could get a likeness. The zine features drawings inspired by Beetlejuice, Heathers, Mermaids, Edward Scissorhands, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Reality Bites, Girl Interrupted and Stranger Things. Apart from Winona, the zine also has a few cameos from her films including Gary Oldman, Cher and Whoopi Goldberg. The zine is A4 sized, features eight photocopied pencil drawings and has a lilac cover.

The zine is available to purchase from my Etsy shop.

Christmas Cards

I have added a new shop section to my Etsy - Christmas cards. You can buy this new Christmas design for 2016 which features a little red cabin inspired by a navy house I saw in Denmark. The set is two green striped and two pink striped cards. I have also added some old favourites - Penguin, Robin and Christmas Tree cards from previous years. The set of four cards also comes with four white envelopes.

Bespoke embroidery

My camera broke a couple of months ago (which is why some of my photos aren't so great at the moment!) I've been working on embroidery commissions to save up for a new one. These embroideries measure 16cm in diameter. If you are interested, I'm producing these very simple embroideries for £85 each. Contact me on hi@reenamakwana.com

At The Table - Issue 2

The beautiful new issue of At The Table is out. Focused on British food culture and the stories that surround it, delve into food writing, photography and illustration. Buy a copy here.

I did some small illustrations for the issue on a piece collecting together childhood food memories from London chefs. You'll have to get the issue to see them all.

I stitched an embroidery for The East End Print Shop's 'Finding 50 Fridas' exhibition.

Cabins on my Etsy shop

I've been developing a few embroideries from my 'Dwelling' zine which I produced for a secret club/en hemmelig klub's The Eastern Forests exhibition, which took place in 2014 in Aarhus, Denmark. The embroidery I showed and the zine I produced for the show depicted tiny cabins within seedheads, which an explorer would come across and ponder what had inhabited the small dwellings.

A few people have emailed me about whether I sell embroideries online, so this little collection is for them if they wish to purchase anything! I'll be adding new pieces over the next coming months as well as some affordable mini embroideries.
