A little tutu!

Welcome to eliot and tutu! A creative place where I can document my thoughts and inspirations as I attempt to make my way in the world as a designer maker and general crafter!

Heart

This is the piece I'm currently working on- bit of a patchwork number. 
I began piecing together some small rectangles of fabric that I have in my many containers and thought I could use it in some way as a large picture for the wall.

It's quite big now that it's finished- I've decided to mount it as a heart in a frame.  Can't decide what colour to mount it on- white (as pic),navy or ochre/mustard?  Hmmm... will have to play around a bit I think.

Felt fun!

Very happy, and more than a little shocked!) to have won a prize in Living etc magazine with my telephone seat- who knew it would go down so well?!  Thought I'd dig some of my older creations out to add onto my blog...
Had a little play around with some felt to make a picture for my living room.


After a good hour of rolling admist a load of soap suds- this is the finished article up on the wall. 

The other little bits on the wall consist of a random selection of old frames picked up in many a second hand shop, an old piece of embroidery I found in a local junk shop, a couple of postcards and some antique ornaments.  It's a bit of a work in progress as I'd like to keep adding to it.
I'm gonna have to invest in a better camera as the photos don't do the colours justice.
