Lydia Meiying is a 3rd year student studying printed textiles at Leeds College of Art and Design. You would think that this would keep her busy enough, but no. In her very busy schedule she has made time to create a range of handbags and jewellery. And very pretty they are too.
To view Lydia’s design gallery go to www.hellomeiying.com.
To shop for handbags and jewellery go to www.meiying.etsy.com.
I’m delighted to share the work of skilled seamstress and textile designer, Sarah Terry of Guerilla Embroidery. Each piece is inspired by the patterns and colours of nature and is developed organically and intuitively in fabric and thread. These ideas are applied to handmade bags, purses, accessories, and customised clothes.
In 2004 Sarah was long listed for the Hand & Lock Prize for Embroidery. Her work can be found in collections all over the world.
Find Sarah at the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate this April and at the Owl and Lion gallery in May. Until then you can shop at www.guerilla-embroidery.com.
I was just about to leave work yesterday evening when I received an enquiry from Shalana, aka The Funky Felter. I clicked over to her website and discovered a wealth of cute accessories and quirky adornments.
Shalana’s creations are made directly from raw and/or processed dyed fibers using traditional and modern felting techniques. She has a keen eye for colour, texture and shape and well deserves her excellent Etsy seller rating.
