Even though we are post-COVID, more of us are out and about. Home is still proving to be an important part of our lives. I realised that I’d been taking home for granted and gave myself a few moments to stop and think about what random (not normally thought of) items make my home my home. Some images are below with captions that explain.

Upcycled textile wall art layered discs

Home decor, Mixed media, Textile wall art

I made these fabric disks in the Christmas break and originally had them on my wall spread out like the old flying duck motif.

But this weekend I was having a tidy up and rearranged some of wall decor. They look better layered up, I think.

I’m back to making and will do a few more of these discs and other shapes.

It’s been difficult finding time to make but I’ve managed to clear the decks for a season of showcasing my hand made office decor creations made from upcycled fabrics, cosmetics and skincare products.

It’s going to be a creative season. If you want to ask me anything about wall. Desk or wall styling drop me a line.

I’ve noticed the more we do Webex, Skype, Zoom meetings the more important it is to hand craft our own mise-en-scène. That’s film talk for how we look on screen.

Striking double height lampshades for a double height space

Home decor, Lampshade

I went browsing in Heals of London a couple of years ago and I was inspired by these double height lampshade sizes I saw.

The version I saw was made of Cork but what struck me was the size, they were 20 cm in diameter and 40 cm tall so in essence they were double height lampshades. And because my space is double height ceiling with 5m window height I’ve always been keen on finding how best to balance out the decoration in such a mammoth space .

So I made these double height lamp shades out of some fabric that I got from the Designers Guild sale recently. Then during my break I made these while catching up with a box set of some USA TV.

The name of the fabric is Aubriet lino and the colour is damson .
