All posts for the month January, 2011

Showcase 2011

The new website and photoshoot arrived just in time for Showcase 2011! I’m still getting a few pieces ready for the annual craft trade show that runs from 23rd to 26th of January, at the RDS. You can find me in the Creative Island (Stand C73).

I will be showing Spring/Summer 2011 andĀ Autumn/Winter 2011.

Spring/Summer is all about escape: soft peachy colours, new cotton/cashmere yarn mixes, candy stripes, innocent embroidery and cute buttons.

Autumn/Winter is more Gothic and dramatic. Based on my collection of second hand knitting books and my favourite 80′s knitwear designers. Lots of fairisle, lurex, mohair and ruffles. I will be selling dresses and vests as part of the collection for the first time. V excited!

New Website and Photoshoot

January has been a busy month: I have a gorgeous new website courtesy of Artist-Makers Online, and a beautiful new photoshoot photographed by the brilliant Al Higgins, and styled by the wonderful Ruth Griffin.

I choose my family home on shores of Galway Bay for the location. I love the resulting contrast of vivid colour against soft moss and seaweed and winter light. I’ve included just a selection of the images on the site here.
