All
of the items in the made by lolly range have been created by Yorkshire based
designer/maker Laura Smith (That's me!)
I
graduated with a BA(hons) in Multi Media Textiles back in 2001, but didn't
start working with folded felt till 2010 after my needle-felting hobby had
resulted in one too many injuries! Thinking that there must be an easier way to
create shape and form that didn't involve accidentally poking myself with a
sharp needle, I started to experiment with layered and folded felt shapes...
and the rest, as they say, is history!
I
now create two colour themed collections of felt accessories every year.
The
current Spring Collection features a bright and cheerful selection of handmade
brooches and accessories, all with a floral theme. Made from a wool blend felt,
in a soft vintage colour palette, ever brooch, corsage and necklace has been
specially designed to complement other pieces in the range.
My
latest creations, now available in Fabrication, make use of a Liberty of London
fabric called Emilia's Flowers. This pretty flower print fabric features soft
pink, violet, aqua and green colours that sit beautifully with the felt
accessories in the rest of the made by lolly range!
Whether
you chose to wear an individual piece or several grouped together to create a
personalised piece of wearable art, these pretty felt flowers are a lovely way
to accessorise this season!
