Flora inspired small-batch textiles, plant-dyeing and landscape wanderings

Plant dyes - all the colours achievable from leaf, flower and root within around a five mile radius. The red hot poker root was a gift from a friend on Skye but that’s only several miles across the water…

Francis Cadell first visited the island of Iona off the west coast of Scotland in 1912 and returned every year afterwards, frequently in the company of Samuel Peploe. He felt the light was of the same quality as that in the south of France. This is from 1928.

Seascape and jay feather. Just one project bag still available from this batch. For knitting, crochet, crafts and general storage of swag.

The frame is key to this style of bag. It stays securely open when in use with no zippers or handles so is handy for projects in progress like knitting.

This seems perfectly normal behaviour to me.
went to visit a friend who’s a ceramicist and works in a studio with no phone signal in a tiny yorkshire village. he doesn’t listen to podcasts or music, only occasionally uses the radio, and when I asked him what he thinks about all day he just said “well, pots mostly”

Independent retail is a precious thing. This is Ooshke in Kyle of Lochalsh, beside the Skye bridge. I’m so happy they stock my work alongside other makers of ceramics, knitwear and contemporary jewellery.

I should add, if you can’t visit in person they have a lovely website: ooshke.shop

Something new to share. Project bags. For knitting, crochet, crafts and travel. This style is handy for works in progress as the frame stays locked and stable when open. Several now listed on my website.
