botanical and textile happenings

I've been drawing. Without realising it I've been absorbing the garden and the summer weather resulting in the production of botanical sketches. Which then morphed into a set of three botanical cards printed on post consumer recycled card stock.

And this morning I was able to hear and meet Clara Vuletich speak at Harvest Workroom. Clara's the designer in residence this week at Harvest (visiting Melbourne from London) where she's focusing on the idea of 'local cloth'. She showed us the ideas that she's worked through over the week in both visual and verbal forms. We were also able to hear her talk about her interest in social innovation in textile design. Really fascinating and inspiring stuff! Clara's blog 'love & thrift' can be found here. Enjoy the rest of your stay Clara and thanks Harvest for a fab session!

  1. The cards look fabulous. Did you print these yourself or have them professionally printed? I've been toying with printing cards myself. I have no clue.
    And thanks for pointing me to Clara's blog. Lovely stuff. You're so lucky to have the Harvest Workroom down your way.

    1. Thanks Kate! Yes, printed them myself but there are many places you can get printing done professionally if you have a big run in mind.
      Clara's work is gold. Enjoy!
