Winter is the stock making time. A lovely time to slow down and find those inside jobs. Long walks on the beach breaks up this work - in between showers, sleet and snow!  Back at work, I have been laying out and making kits and toys.




Both are made from 100% woollen blankets I have collected over time. I wash them in hot water and lots of soap ( my kids call them soap monster washes). This felts (or fulls)  the blankets -  ready to be cut into toys and kits. 

 
 

My focus on materials is to re-use existing fabrics. I love natural materials such as wool and silk. As always, the materials I collect drive what I make.

 
 

I also love buttons and collect these where-ever I find them. 

 


They joy for me is bringing all these materials together to create these toys. The possibilities for colour combinations is endless.

All toys and kits are stuffed with Innergreen natural corn stuffing. This is made from corn starch and is biodegradable.
