Spotlight on The Seller ....‘Get Knotted’ Macramé accessories Adele Wilson

Adele Graduated in 2008 with a Textile and Surface Design Degree at Buckinghamshire New University. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to go to uni for a while due to a case of shingles! And this is when she took it upon herself to learn macramé!

And it all started from there…… when she left uni she had an amazing opportunity to work in Paris for couture fashion designers Peachoo and Krejberg, creating 9 garments for their Autumn/Winter collection 2009.

Adele then took to working freelance design for knitwear studios in London and Nottingham. Through an internship, Adele worked for Mark Fast studio, here meeting Jacey Withers a jewellery designer and helped him with his collections.

Her experience led her to setting up ‘Get Knotted’ and continuing with her obsession with all things macramé! Creating necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings and decorations, all hand made at home in West Yorkshire.

Adele likes the idea of taking a traditional craft and bringing it up to date. Incorporating her love of animals and colour. Inspiration from different cultures and nature. She welcomes commissions for extra special items.

Spotlight on the Seller... Made By Lolly

 

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!
