Paper Mobiles

Haven't been posting for a while as time has been short - loads of new projects int he pipeline and here is one of them! I'm loving working with paper right now and printed paper is even better. These mobiles are made from printed paper discs and will be available to buy online very soon. Everyone is different, of course : shown above are  Liberty flowers model, Japan, and Hearts and Flowers.

Patchwork Cot Bumper

A recent made-to-order cot bumper...hope you like it Karena!

Mobiles!

Recent creations have taken the form of mobiles for kid's and adult rooms alike, with birds swinging on a perch surrounded by fabric lovehearts, and metal cutout motifs. Some became decorative objects for Christmas, with people hanging them as table decorations for the festive season. Here are a selection...

December Craft Sales

A number of new product lines for christmas (linen gingerbreadmen christmas tree decorations) and a few photos of stock from recent sales during december...all hand-made by me!

Christmas Crafted Mobiles

Starting to get organised for the Christmas Craft Fair that I'm organising in the village where I live (but more about that in another post sometime)...I've been working on some handmade mobiles for grown-ups this time round (although versions for kid's rooms are also in the pipeline), with the emphasis on rich, retro, yet unusual colour combinations for christmas. This first attempt is in a dark grey damask print and lime spotted fabric, with hints of natural linen...hearts and stars, snowflakes and christmas wishes to hang in your entrance hall as a modern, yet homely christmas decoration.

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...

Snuggling with the Dragon...

Another order finished recently, a personalised baby blanket for Timothée with a dragon appliqué.

Inspiration from Marrakech

I've always loved the geometric floral patterns and colour schemes found in the zellige tiles of Marrocco. They have something wonderfully modern about them, the colours somehow seem almost hand-made and they remind me of the insides of glass paperweights. I love the way also that I am reminded of Venice - something remarkable about the way the two cities resemble each other. The fortuny influence, glass lanterns, little cobbled streets and the labyrinth of the Médina, the dark mysterious nature of the walled palaces and the highly decorated motifs. Both cities amaze me and inspire me so much!

In love with Liberty of London!

A project finished a while back for a good friend and one of my best neighbours, here are photos of a personalised baby blanket and frog, done in my favourite of favourites, Liberty fabric, teamed with a crisp white cotton. Gives me all sorts of ideas about a collection in white...

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.
