Licorice All Sorts
When the music plays you have to dance. I’ve got a decision or two to make, which is always when I get a new idea that *has* to be tested out. Much like cleaning your room before you can write an essay, or pairing all your socks before you do your taxes, I can’t seem [...]
Ironichintz
“One day I’m going to commission your sister to do something in Ironic Chintz”. Challenge accepted! I can’t claim all the credit, The client provided the vintage barkcloth flowers, and I fleshed out the palette. This is the Parker Knoll found by my amazing sister, who not only sources my client list, but also some [...]
Pick n Mix
It’s been awhile in coming, but finally here it is; 14 three seater couches in one. Just pick n mix the cushions to colour your day.
Found Keys
Posts are shorter, possibly more erratic, but they’re back. For the moment, anyway! Rest assured things are happening. I’m doing that thing, you know, growing as a designer. All this challenge and inspiration working alongside other awesome people, in public. World domination by chair is imminent.I can feel it. In the interim, in quiet moments [...]
Rave Naked in the Guard’s Compartment…
I’m not alone in my ‘thing’ for text. It runs in my family, and for the past decade it seems to have run in ever magazine in town. I can’t help it. It’s blocky and bold, and in it’s purest black and white form, straight from the bus and train rolls of London, it’s ephemera [...]
Ironichintz
Special delivery from the US arrived a week or two ago. Vintage floral bark cloth panels for Ironichintz.These panels set the tone for the whole resurrection. After a bit of shopping I’ve pulled together a palette for patching. You’ll have to trust me on those stripes, E… I’m a professional :) I’ve always had a [...]
My Other Workshop
I can’t tell if He Made She Made is my ‘other’ workshop or my home shed is the ‘other’, so little time have I spent in either this new year! Finally with the help of Greg I located the right island workbench, and he even found me some floor boards for a new top! Robert [...]
Mad Betty
I’m slowly working out the rhythm of gallery management. There’s lots to do with clients and admin, and curating new shows with the HMSM Team every 6 weeks, but in between I can sneak a half hour here and there to whittle away at some long standing projects. I’ve started ripping apart Betty, putting new [...]
New Year, New Space
Nothing quite like avoiding a TAFE assignment to help kick off the new blogging year! Since mid December I’ve been wrapped up working with my lovely partners in crime at He Made She Made, 70 Oxford Street. We’ve renovated the space and staked our claim. While we’re still working on the website, and we won’t [...]
Suite Endings
So after a week of stripping, webbing, rebuilding, screening, sketching, ruching and stretching, of coke-soaking castors and piping cushions, I can’t tell which inanimate objects I am more in love with – the Club Fatale Duo or the camera I borrowed to shoot them this evening!! Some other things I will always love are [...]
