Colour Me Happy Harlequin!

I've crocheted up my Harlequin Blanket pattern in a new colour scheme... what do you 
think? This colour combination makes me feel all at once warm and cosy and happy :)











It's now in my Etsy store :)

New Harlequin Pattern

I've released a new crochet pattern in my Etsy store – my version of the fresh + bold 
Harlequin design :) With loads of instructions, both pictorial and written, it's an easy 
pattern that even beginners can use to create their own blanket.

It's the perfect time to get in early and start on your very own Harlequin blanket in time for 
the Winter! 

You can find my Harlequin pattern here :)

Funky Retro Groover

It must be summer bringing out the funky retro groover in me... hot hazy days, hoping to 
catch some breeze through the breeze blocks, those fabulous 1970s architectural standard 
you see so often here in the Southern sub-tropics :) Well, that's my inspiration... and this is 
the new pattern I've designed, block printed and made into cushions.



There's the original Breeze Block design with a repeat pattern of 10cms, and then the 
Breeze Block (Mini) with a repeat of 5cms. Pouches and other fresh fun things coming soon.







So right now and so available in my Etsy store :)

New Crochet Pattern

It's been a while in the making, fine-tuning the details, testing and double-testing... 
but I've finally released a pattern for my Finger Wave crochet design... yah!



Okay, so it's not the best name in the universe ;) The base of the pattern uses a generic 
free-pattern ripple or wave design and my original design variations have turned out to look 
very much like little fingers to me... hence the name.

Anyway, I'm very excited to have finally got it all down into a pattern... and it's now available 
in my Etsy shop :)







I based the colour scheme on a beautiful orchid I have flowering at the moment.
What do you think...?

More circus fun :)

No such thing as too much circus in this house! It's bright and fun and perfect for the still chilly Spring we're having :)









Green harlequin cushion, entirely handmade from sumptuous 100% Peruvian Highland wool. Now in the shop :)

The Circus is in town!

I've just finished a special order and felt like having a bit of fun with some fabric panels 
I found in my work drawer. This made me think of a super sparkly length of trimming that 
I bought in New York years and years ago... and hey presto! Ladies and Gentlemen, I do 
believe the circus has come to town! :)









Double-sided cushions in my original designs of Orbit (in Neon Pink and Neon Yellow)
and Oasis (in Neon Pink) printed on a medium-weight cotton.

A bit of circus fun... now in the shop :)

Neon cushion frenzy!

It was a public holiday here today, which meant time to go for walks, to have tea with the 
fam... and to make up a fresh batch of cushions. Orbit in Neon Pink and Flame Forrest in 
Neon Yellow now in the shop :)



If you had the day off today too, I hope it was a lovely one for you :)

Flame Forrest (Green) Cushions :)

Hand printed in water based fabric inks on 100% linen, Flame Forrest cushions in a 
stunningly fresh green now available in my Etsy store :)

Oh! Embroidered 3 finished :)

Oh number 3, you were a lot of work... 

I wanted you to have the density of a tapestry, but of a different feel... 

silken papery threads woven into a paper cousin; fibre held together by fibre. 

I dreamed of how you would turn out with each stitch... 

I wanted you to be a smooth, even texture that pops out from its surface like a sculpture

... and now you're finished!

Oh! Embroidered 3 is in my big cartel shop :)

New pouches in the shop!

Happy to report that these lovelies are now in the shop :)

A bit of neon pop!

More and more lately I've been wrapping presents in beautifully plain simple kraft paper. 
I love it :) I think it has a pared-back elegance that softly whispers 'You're going to love what's inside here' ;) 

Good old kraft paper does need a bit of neon pop to set it off though.... So, I've made up 
some gift tags using my original artwork design, Oh! Embroidered 2, just for this purpose :)







If you feel like a bit of neon pop too, you can find some 'popping' gift tags here :)

Fresh :)

Yah! Etsy has listed Paravent as a Fresh Australian Shop! :) You can find the page here.

First print - New Venue

There's a certain someone who's been urging me to sell prints of my pieces, so I thought 
I'd give it a go.... Then there was someone else who suggested a new selling venue, so 
I'm trying that out too! 

This design is now available in my new Society 6 store as art prints, cards and iPhone cases :)

New in the Shop!

Pouches pouches and more pouches! All hand printed and hand made (by me). 
You can find them here :)
