Country Handbag


This country style handbag uses lovely organic colours and includes Avalanche Roses, white Eryngium, green Hypericum and Viburnum opulus.

A simple but stylish handle is created using mikado reeds.

The bag is made of bio-degradable mesh which is filled with hay and sewn up with natural rafia.

The teal coloured ribbon bows add a splash of colour .
Pretty and delicate!

Contemporary Handbag Design


This contemporary handbag design features Cymbidium heads, Dracaena curls, Eucalyptus leaves, bark and yellow reindeer moss.

Creating interesting textures using contemporary techniques! 

The handle is created by wrapping the Dracaena around a thick wired wool. Green bullion wire secures it in place and adds a touch of glamour.

The bag is created using 2 blocks of oasis fixed together and then carved into shape. The Cymbidium heads are placed in test tubes and then pushed into the dry foam.  

Valentines Design - for the Journal



This Valentines hand tied design features in the February edition of the Yorkshire Journal.

The design uses red Passion Roses, pink Amalia Roses, Safari Sunset, Magestic Red Calla's, Astrantia, Milky Way and red dogwood.

The contemporary heart-shaped frame captures the Valentines theme and creates a real 'wow' factor.

 The shape of the hand-crafted frame is created from aluminium wire covered in wool. Bullion wire, beads and wool manipulation techniques block in the frame. 

The rich colours and contrasting shapes and textures are beautiful. Perfect for Valentines.
