From my studio with love

"Working with fibre, I felt the varied textures into an organic cloth, beautiful to the eye and pleasing to the touch. Working behind the lens, I snap individual moments along my journey, sharing small, yet shining moments in time. Working with the stroke of a brush, I infuse colour and passion and love, pouring my heart onto a once blank canvas. And through it all, are the connections between my art forms, between nature and art and design and between each of our lives. My Etsy shop provides the opportunity to share with you my creations along my journey heading true north. May they bring as much joy to your lives, as creating and sharing them has brought to mine."

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalised orders

I do customised seat cushions and floor cushions. Please contact me with a description of what you would like and we'll take it from there.

I love your design but wondering if the seam on the top would be uncomfortable?

The seam is soft and it can not be felt when sitting on it. It is really just a design feature. You will not be able to guess whether you are sitting on the side without seams or the one with seams. I add seams purposely to give little glimpses of the "inside" and the "depth" of the cloth. My felt is beautiful inside and outside and one way of showing this is to expose a little of both. It does not impact the feel or the function.

Care instructions

Do I need to wash my leather free rug ?
No. If you feel that, after some time, it needs a little freshening up, you could soak it in handwarm, slightly soapy water {I recommend using organic soap} in a large sink or bath and then rinse with a dash of white vinegar. If you like you could add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the vinegar rinse. Squeeze the water out very gently and dry it flat. The pieces are very heavy when wet.

Can I use the machine to spin the wet rug?
Yes. Zip item in pillowcase and choose a very gentle spin.

Can my leather free rug be vacuumed?
No. You only need to give it a good shake and hang it out in the sun. Wool is naturally dirt and mould resistent.

Care instructions

Do I need to wash my silky scarf often?
No. If you feel that it needs a little freshening up, you could soak the item carefully like you would with wool items. Use handwarm water, organic detergent and soak for a few minutes. Then rinse with minimal handling. Lay flat and air dry.

Wholesale availability

Please contact me via email.

Gift wrapping and packaging

All my items are wrapped / packaged carefully and with love.
Plastic free packaging {sometimes I will use pre used ♻️} matters to me.
I mostly use natural Tissue Paper, Kraft Paper, Kraft Paper Bags and Jiffy green Bags or Cardboard Boxes.

Pin Cushions & Brooches come in their own little brown Kraft Boxes.

Care instructions

Leather free Rug: If you have the opportunity — after unwrapping — to give your rug a gentle "shake" and leave it to breathe some fresh air outside in the sun for a little while, it will adjust well from the journey.
