Scotland inspiration

A selection of photos from my trip to Scotland. It was great to be back in my homeland capturing such beautiful images and colours. New designs based on these images will be available in my etsy shop in the next month :)

New Website

Go check out my new look website! Here are some screen shots of it, more images of products will be added to the gallery section soon. 

Cushion photos

I have a few products that I made months ago that I haven't posted photos of so here they are:

More cushion designs are in the works and I will publish photos of them once they're done :)

I'm Back!!!!!!

So I have finally finished my MA in Design Cultures! So I am ready to get straight back to work on my company. New collection is in the works, I have started drawing and also working on colours so I can pick my yarns. My new collection will be based on Scottish landscapes and wildlife. Products will include cushions, blankets, tea cosies, brooches, toys, and of course a couple of scarves for the winter months :)

Here are some initial drawings:

I will be in Scotland in a couple of weeks to get some more imagery, and will upload photos, drawings and fabric designs once ready. I will be blogging more regularly now that textiles have my full attention!

December 2010 to January 2011 (because I have been a bad blogger...)

It is now well into 2011 and I have been so busy with Christmas, New year, University course work and life in general that I haven't written a new post since November. So I will catch you up on a few things that have happened over the past few months:

At the beginning of December I took part in the Funky Xmas Market in Amsterdam, I stood out in the freezing cold and high winds for 6 hours and only sold Bill the elephant (and I sold him to my friend), so I can safely say it was a waste of time and money. So 2011 brings the year of new stockists, instead of trying to make money through craft fairs I will get my work in to more shops, so watch my blog for updates on new stockists.

Over Christmas I managed to sell some stockings and christmas decorations, I make only a few of them so next Christmas I will make more as they sell well :)

At the Beginning of January I added a new critter to the crew, Victor het Varken (victor the pig). I really enjoy making critters, so this year I will be adding even more animals, any suggestions or requests would be great as I can never think of new animals to make!

So that is what I have been up to, and writing 4 4000 word essays for my masters course. The next few months will be I will be super busy with my masters so new products and blog posts may be absent for a while, but come April I will be back onto working on my business at least 1 day per week so new things will be happening then, I will keep you updated with other goings on between now and then :)

Coming soon: 

My new revamped website should be up in the new month or so.

New products: critters and some new more varied products (so no more scarves, they drive me batty!)

Hopefully I will be blogging more regularly now, and look forward to any suggestions for new critters :)
