No new work photographed this week as I have been working on a wedding urgently brought forward from June. Bit of a shock but I am coping with that and scheduled commissions.
This little midnight fairy godmother is Elowen, a gentle soul in one of my favourite midnight fabrics.
With her aqua hair and peacock blue wings she has turquoise to her heart with lavender in her stuffing. She smells sweet and is a wistful fae.
The fabric is a Liberty Tana Lawn called Ciara with rich bright florals on a black ground. Teamed with peacock blue petticoats and black tulle she has a black sampler pillow. Sporting a tiny silver coronet with a silver acorn on her pillow she is finished with black ribbons and buttons.
One of my favourite midnight fabrics Ciara is a dense botanical design, reimagined from a popular 1960s Liberty scarf pattern found in the archives.
Once my wedding is completed I am working on pieces for my galleries and shops. Looking forward to frogs and foxed for a change. I do like being busy and having to push myself is always rewarding.
My bride has won some money so now is taking her wedding party to Barbados this month for a surprise. I do hope it all goes well for them. Lots of mice in tropical prints has been lovely to work on in these cold grey days.
Two more mice to finish and then onto frogs, oh I love all those french knots xx
