So how can I start to apologise for the 8 months away from blogging??! It has been too long, and I can't even work out where to start with explaining what has changed here at Lorna Syson Textiles, so I thought I would do it in images.... a quick view on all the changes!
Summer 2011
Summer saw the designing of the new printed collection, influenced by the British Hedgerow photo's I took when researching the wool and stinging nettle cushions. I found a family of Great Tits nesting outside my home, I managed to get a couple of snaps of the gorgeous babies as they came out of the nest for their first flight.
I also started to move my prints and manipulation techniques into lampshades.
Autumn 2011
I Launched the new collection at Top Drawer and 100% Design, I was so happy with the feedback and sales. The Juneberry and bird cushions instantly became a best seller for me. As well as this I have started to frame the Dahlia wall flowers. These sold really well at 100% Design and now have homes all across Europe.
Winter 2011
My mentor got married in Scotland and I was so excited to be invited and even more excited to be asked to make the hair flowers for the bride and bridesmaids. Below you can also see the fab wedding cake they had! Andrea (the bride) made it with her cousin and the cakes tasted even better than they looked. Check out Two Cousins Bakery if you're interested.
2012!!
In Jan 2012 I headed over to Paris to show at Maison & Object, this was my first time showing at the event and I could not believe how huge the show was.
