Esperanza kapok pleasure - the sequel

The filling of these pillows consists of kapok, it's a natural material that revives when putting it in the sun. The pillows were handfilled by Mieke, my favourite upholstery-contact in Ghent!
The combination of two fabrics makes the pillows adjustable to mood and season.
The combos are made of second-hand & overstock of belgian designers' cotton and wool.
The cover is removable and can be washed :-)
These pillows are an ode to Esperanza, the most beautiful place in the world.
Soon for sale at Elle et Gand, through my webshop or mail me directly if you want!

Please note the special detail from my cat Wax on one of the pillows :-)

Here you can find the former selection!

Bookmarks

It was about time... several opened magazines and books filling up the floor in our house.
Nope, I'm not that kind of girl that uses receipts as a bookmark! It may sound strange, but I always thought books deserved more than that...
So, some days before going on holiday, there's another 'pending' 'done'!
I used some leftover cardboardcovers from chinese take-away boxes, aswell as some sticky japanese fabric which had been waiting for a goal!
Those that I'm not using myself are soon for sale @ my shop :-)

Concha brooches finalised!

The final result! My camera died on me that day, so I wasn't able to take any more single shots before handing them over :-(
I hope the customer will send me some when they are being used!
The patterns above made me remember an old idea of making a felt owl... maybe one day :-)

Concha brooches made to order

Work in progress pictures!
I'm thoroughly enjoying this new passion, the process gives me a lot of pleasure!
The bespoke brooches are designed to pimp the new uniform for female employees of an international company.
The colours had to resemble those used in their logo. A lot of combinations were possible, the client chose wisely!
Again, glitters and pearls inherited by Taant were used :-) 

More pictures to come when the project is finished!

KORAAL

 

The woven diamond pattern of these garden relaxer chairs just had to be embroidered!
As it happened I wanted to create something with pictures I've been taking on holidays. This was a golden opportunity and first experiment!

WAVE

 

 

A smocked skirt. A happy colourful skirt. A pleated skirt with a high reversable waist.
One that makes everyone long for spring, small and tall!
Boots: out of the question. Wellingtons are allowed though.
I bought this fabric once from an overstock, this is AN ORIGINAL 80ies ITEM :-)
