A good friend of mine recently celebrated a milestone birthday.
Now this friend is uber creative and talented, especially when it comes to ceramics.
Rachel has a workshop in Conway Mill, just 2 floors above me, and makes the most stunning ceramic house pictures and brooches #weecolouredhouses
I'm lucky to be the proud owner of 2 such creations!
So from one maker to another, I knew my gift had to be handmade!
My 'Wee Coloured Houses' pouch is inspired by Rachel's adorable little houses. They have been free motion sketched onto Essex Yarn Dyed Linen (Flax). Those tiny windows were a challenge!!
I know Rachel loves colour, so I went with a patchworked back and a bright, funky lining.
So here's to many more creative years Rachel!
And if you would like to purchase one of Rachel's pictures or commission her for a custom order, you can contact her here.
Also, keep an eye out for her at Frock Around the Clock Fares and the Fine & Dandy Markets, as well as seeing her stock in The Designerie (Bushmills), Belfast City Airport, The Crafty Barn (Carlingford) and Klover (Hillsborough) to name a few!
Happy sewing!
What a thoughtful and perfect gift for Rachel. I bought two of her pics from In Klover for housewarming gifts last month and was sorely tempted to keep them. They are so cute and I love that each one is unique.
