I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art and design with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael's 'Art and Creative Writer'. This week, I'm featuring the crafty creations of Dottie Angel.
Dottie Angel is the alter-ego of British born but now Seattle based maker, Tif Fussell. She creates fabric goodness out of vintage finds and has developed her own lifestyle brand, coined 'granny chic'.
She is co-author of a book of the same name which has over twenty projects to help us find out 'inner granny chic crafting soul'. Tif has an inspiring blog, Facebook page and Etsy shop where she sells her hand-made wares. More next week, Justine x
I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art and design with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael's 'Art and Creative Writer'. This week, we're featuring the hand made art and accessories of Viv Sliwka.
Viv is a Shropshire (U.K.) based designer/maker inspired by American primitive art who loves collecting and repurposing vintage textiles, ephemera and haberdashery. She collages, appliqués and embroiders her work by hand to create one-off pieces of art and usable accessories including brooches, purses and bags which she sells online under the business name, Hen's Teeth.
Viv also teaches others how to create their own upcycled artefacts including wrist cuffs and keepsake boxes at workshops she runs at Weston Park. With my birthday coming up, I'll be adding one of these lovelies to my wish list and hope to get along to one of Viv's events soon. More gorgeousness next week! Justine x
