a unique DESIGN for any space

WITH a touch of bows & William Morris patterns

 Crafting boxes and cartonnage designs allows me to blend creativity with hands-on techniques, creating functional and decorative pieces. Using materials like greyboard, linen, and velvet, I add intricate details and embellishments to enhance each designs' visual appeal. My deep love for William Morris patterns inspires many of my designs, infusing them with timeless beauty and intricate floral motifs that evoke a sense of classic elegance. Each handcrafted design reflects my artistic vision, combining beauty and practicality for personal use, gifts, or as unique accents for any space. A carefully handcrafted bow serves as the perfect finishing touch, adding an extra layer of charm and refinement to each design.

who was William morris?

William Morris was one of the pioneers of the Arts & Crafts movement in nineteenth century Britain. He taught himself intricate techniques such as how to embroider, dye fabric and block print repeating wallpaper, all of which would provide the basis for his textiles business in the years to come

 

Morris established his first iteration of Morris & Co. known as Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in 1861 and set out to revolutionise British design. Above all else, Morris and his collaborators aspired to revive the art of hand-making items for the home, which had been forgotten in the Industrial Revolution
