MarieClaire Idées: ellie & ooma as guest exhibitor with Ebullition

I was invited a while back to make a crafty creation for this years Création et Savoir Faire Exhibition ( Porte de Versailles, Paris, 16th - 20th November 2011) by the Parisian design collective Ebullition (thankyou ladies!). The theme being "la chambre de mes 15 ans" (roughly translated, "my bedroom, way back when I was fifteen"...), I worked this summer on three cushions in the form of vinyl records, hand-embroidering each record label and including favourite song titles from the eighties...see the photos below, but here is the link to the officiel MarieClaire Ideés website, where my work has been published....

  

Personalised cushions

Finished this order a while back: multicoloured lettering on prune coloured linen background. If you'd like to order one for your child's room, contact me directly for a price quote.

My favourite chair

There was this old 1920's/1930's club chair kicking around the house when we first moved in 7 years ago...I loved it but it needed restoring. This summer saw the restauration project finally come to life and it is now the inspiration for a colour makeover in the lounge! Hence the newly zipped-up fuschia pink velvet cushions!

New creations...3D floral floor cushions!

The newest creations to creep out of the studio are mostly for girls...apliquée flower cushions in various patchwork colour combinations. Some flowers are placed centrally and others are more haphazard in their positioning, sorry boys, these are seriously funky but feminine! I have some ideas for male equivalents so watch this space...!

Kokeshi Cover, Cushion and Doll

Another recent order, this time for little Suzie...

New cushions!

Here are the latest personalised cushions that I have created...hoping that Jackie enjoys the results of her winning voucher...

...and thankyou to Emily for coming up with the wonderful idea of adding a motif, or animal on the side...I think you'll agree it kind of finishes off the whole thing.

Personalised cushions

Motivated by an old friend's kind comments via FaceBook today (thanks Lindsay), I am posting here some pics of recent projects as the website awaits rethinking and finishing....it's very difficult to show all the possibilities when everything I do is unique and hand-made! So I've decided to use my blog also as a kind of gallery for now, and here are some personalised cushions that I did for a client a few months back...
