About me the maker
Hi,
My name is Danielle and I can't remember not ever making, or crafting, since I could hold a crayon! I am constantly thinking of new creations and either drawing, painting or sewing. My fingers start itching if I'm not making something.
I studied Art and Design at the University of Creative Arts in Kent and actually specialised in Graphic Design and Illustration. I was always drawing as a child and that hasn't really stopped.
My love of fabric and felt started after I had my children and really took off in lock down. I wanted to create cute animals for my little girls that could decorate their rooms. They are always making new requests!
I also love birds and nature. My favourite TV show is Springwatch and anything with Sir Attenborough or Steve Backshall. Drawings birds is my relaxation time and I hope to make more to sell at some point. I'm also a big yoga fan. And love the relaxation but my mind often gets distracted by yet another craft idea. If only I had more hours in the day : )
I'm a big fan of craft fairs. You can find Paint Patch out and about from September at various fairs around Kent. I love meeting new crafters, chatting about ideas and the general happy vibes that you get walking around.
I enjoy working with customers on their ideas and making them come to life too. So any questions, please always ask. Making things and people smile is a priviledge! :)
