Cyanotype doodles – musings in blue

Posted by Elaine B on Wednesday Oct 15, 2014 Under Cyanotype, Flower, Pampootie, Workshop

I recently went to a workshop by Hannah Lamb, member of the famous 62 Group of master embroiderers and generally fabulous textile peeps. We played with cyanotype, an early form of photographic exposure, which works just as well on textiles as it does on paper. The images are always blue, and I love their slightly haunting and beautiful simplicity and elegance. Here are my first-time adventures in cyanotype…

Cuddly cushions and pillows

Posted by Elaine B on Tuesday Sep 30, 2014 Under Cushion, Gift, Japanese, Pampootie, Pillow

I’ll admit it. I have a thing for cushions. They’re just the thing to liven up a sofa and splash some colour around without going mad. I love making them too. Here are a few of my recent makes. Subtle and sumptuous green and duck egg blue silks. Pretty fabulous!

Pretty in Pink – Citron Shawl

Posted by Elaine B on Tuesday Mar 13, 2012 Under free pattern, Gift, Knitting, Pampootie, scarf, shawl

Here’s a pretty shawl I knitted for my Mum. It has gorgeous cascading ruffles, so you can wear it several ways. If you fancy knitting one yourself, check out the free pattern here. It’s very easy, knits up quickly so you’ll soon have a beautiful flouncy shawl of your very own.
