Great Northern

Great Northern is now finished and I have to say, although I still feel exhausted after long four eventful days, I am overwhelmed with positive comments and feedback my work received.

Thank you all for visiting my little exhibition, all new followers on Facebook & Twitter. 

Most of all big thank you to all of those who loved my work enough to take it home.

I gained great friends and met fantastic makers. 

It was a good opportunity for networking and getting new contacts.

If you have visited me, please leave short comment with your opinion, as this would help me to get better in my work.

Felt Mistress: Creature Couture

Samuel thinks this is a great Monster Book. I love creative vibe of it and my husband admires superb quality of skills.

In all, CREATURE COUTURE is an inspirational read.

+ + +

Louise Evans aka Felt Mistress creature creator and textile artist & Jonathan Edwards illustrator, comic artist and toy designer are amazing duo who brings to live creatures from different world. This book is about magic of what they do and is bursting with colour, ideas and creativity.

+ + +

Louise has got rare skill of converting 2D drawings into 3D creations, which I think would make her fantastic architect... Her attention to detail is second to none and she is a virtuoso of felt.

+ + +

+ + +

I am not surprised that Felt Mistress's creations became known in the whole world form USA to Japan and she is just at the beginning of her creative path...
See the process, admire the creativity and skills and just enjoy this magical world. Book is available HERE.

Nook and Cranny and all the other beautiful things that happen...

I must say that Design Market at the Bluecoat was fantastic and I hope upcoming ones will be even better

For me a few good things happen: my 3D graphics
A Lonely Boy and All You Need is Love
have found new fantastic owners.
It was such a pleasure to give my work in hands of people who appreciate their uniqueness.
