Update

This year I'll once again be making a small selection of seasonal decor throughout autumn and into winter.

I've started creating these early as each one of the autumn and winter spheres I'll be making are original in design and can take some time to create.
I won't be replicating any unless it's as a commission order so you can be sure they will be one of a kind.

The spheres will be medium sized which is appropriately 6 inches wide by 7 inches high including the stalk.

I can make them slightly smaller or larger too.

I've given them names this year as they're easier to identify if anyone has any questions to ask.
This one is called Autumn Whisper.

So here's my first autumn sphere.

It's made in sections of burgundy velvet and a hand printed linen type fabric which shows a delicate flower and leaf design. Thank you to my sister who created this fabric.

I've also made three little velvet acorns to go along with this sphere. They're detachable so you can place them either atop or at its side. The acorn caps are real.

Please private message if you are interested in any of the designs I'll be showing over the next few months and I can give more detail.

These will be UK selling only at this time.

I'm still selling direct through my Facebook and Instagram platforms. I have also now opened a Folksy shop (please see the link above) so some items I create may be advertised on there too.

Ps if you do use Folksy I'd really welcome any follows (favourites on Folksy) on my new shop. It's early days yet, but there's a lot of makers and competition out there these days so you have to shout up to be seen. I don't particularly like doing that as it goes against the grain, but hey ho 😊, here's me shouting!

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone

I have now opened a Folksy shop. Please see my shop link below.

At the moment my shop hasn't got too many items listed whilst I am setting everything up, but hopefully this won't take too long.

If you don't use online platforms that's fine too as any potential sales or enquiries can also be made directly through me via my Facebook or Instagram accounts by contacting me privately to chat by messenger.

At present I am selling in the UK only thank you as always for your ongoing support of my small business. ❤️

Well this little chap has kept me very busy for the past few weeks, but he's finally finished after many many hours of work.

Sitting at approximately 18 inches height by 15 inches width, he's been made with reclaimed vintage fabrics and other materials including wired paws and feet.

He's an original textile art piece by Johnny Biscuit Design and a one off creation.

I've also made him a little mushroom to nibble on.

I'll be taking him along to a couple of artisan fairs in the future along with other textile and soft sculpture I've worked on.
For now though he's taking it easy in my workroom whilst I decide where he might be best placed.

I've been asked by a few people if he'll be for sale in the future and the answer to that is yes he will be, at some point.

Oh and I almost forgot ...

His name is Teasle the red squirrel.

I really hope you like him.

❤️

* Just to add this is my own interpretation and imagination of a woodland red squirrel. He has been made in a whimsical vintage style and was never meant to replicate the real red squirrel.

A little update ...

I'm a bit quiet at the moment as I've been working on a fabric art red squirrel. He's going to be a medium to large size, so it's all taking a little bit of time and thought.

Here's a few images of my work in progress so far.

His shell has been created from calico fabric which I've machine sewed together to create the shape. It's a vintage pattern I've had in my collection for a long time, not the easiest to work from such are vintage patterns, but I got there in the end.

My starting point was to work around his eyes in the top fabric. This and all future stages of work will all be hand sewing so it'll take some time to get to the finish line. From here I'll build up his body and hopefully add in a bit of his character.

Just look at the size of that tail though!

This will be a red squirrel 🐿️ with attitude!

More updates soon.

Just to also add I've no immediate artisan fairs coming up at the moment, but please direct message with any queries you may have regarding any of my work or future commissions.

Little Acorn squirrel appeared yesterday in my workroom.

Created from tapestry I've made all the stitching on the outside for this little creature in order to show off the gorgeous array of coloured threads woven into the fabric.

His tiny arms have a wired armature inside so they are movable. Well he had to have something to hold his acorns with didn't he!

See video on previous post.

I've been taking a little break, but I've still been creating in the background.

Here we have two textile art little wedding birds made in a vintage style.

This post and the previous video post gives a glimpse into my latest work.

Please note these unfortunately can not be used as cake toppers due to the materials used in creating them. However they are bird fabric sculpture home decor and hopefully will make you smile.

Brides dress was created using fabric remnants from my own wedding dress after alterations.

My first makers fair of the year today at Lower Holker Hall.

Thanks to anyone who visited my table, purchased, looked, commented on my work or took a card.

Thanks also to the fair organisers as always.

The weather was a bit mixed, but it didn't stop people visiting which was lovely.

Feet up now and I'm offline for the night as I have a date with a glass of wine and an Easter egg! 😊

Have a great weekend everyone.

1st April and this little textile bird has been finished just in the nick of time to see the new month come in.

The fabric art birds I am creating at the moment are all one off creations. They are made as home decor fabric sculpture to sit in any room or work place, but would look so lovely on a shelf or bookcase, in a bright room peeking out to say hello.

All my fabric art pieces that I have created so far are for sale. I say 'so far' as each and every one of them take time to bring together. I am happy to take on commission work too.

The birds are not meant to replicate any particular species they are purely my interpretation of a pretty bird with beautiful colours.

Please direct message me privately if you wish to find out more.

Also ...

Thank you so much for supporting my small business page on Facebook and Instagram.

Post likes, comments and shares, word of mouth are a huge help to small businesses getting seen out there.
It's not so easy these days as social media algorithms don't always work in the favour of small artisan makers getting seen or heard.
I truly appreciate all your continued support thank you.

Feel free to share this post (one quick press of the share button could mean more than you know) and thanks in advance if you do. 🙏










* Not a toy.
* It is advised to keep any textile sculpture out of direct sunlight as this could cause colour fading over a period of time.
