SEPTEMBER
NOW SOLD OUT
(The Laundry)
"The Miniatures is a monthly limited edition collection of creative ingredients inspired by all the beautiful small details that visit the studio for a while".
The inspiration behind this fourth edition is 'the laundry', a beautiful collection of inspirational pieces with an aesthetic towards all that is faded, worn, sun bleached and washed. Layers that have been found on my travels that may be included for their faded print, delicate lines or pale tones.
Starched whites,
linen textures,
bleached surfaces,
frayed edges,
unfinished details,
flaking paint,
worn edges,
loose threads,
old linen,
small collections found in secret pockets....
Each box for September's edition will contain a collection of four beautiful faded portraits printed onto an organic rustique calico. Any other new printed imagery produced will be taken from items I have purchased here in the studio such as Victorian pencil studies, an old French faded hemmed cotton, faded botanicals, old hand written ephemera, an old photograph or negative, and so much more…… There will also be enclosed the odd interesting panel of antique fabric, lace, haberdashery, threads, hand painted papers and stickers, buttons, the tiniest of shells and anything else that I think you will find of interest.
Just a simple and wonderful collection of delicious details to help you construct interesting pages in a journal or sketchbook, create a miniature artwork to be framed, incorporate in general collage work, embroider into the surfaces or keep as a styling box to use within your own photography such as flat-lay compositions. Re-arranging these pieces in multiple ways to create interesting compositions, then photographing your arrangements, is just a fabulous way to engage with the ingredients to start.
There is no project to work through, just a box of beautiful details for you to use as a starting point to create something wonderful. You may wish to start a new journal or sketchbook and use these Miniature boxes as a perfect way to spend an hour or two each month to create a series of pages as the weeks progress. Look through your own collections of hoarded details too to add to the theme....
I hope you love (or are loving) the idea of The Miniatures and enjoy the contents as much as I have enjoyed sourcing the details for you. So there is time for you to order that new sketchbook or start making the base to a new journal before your box of loveliness arrives.
The collection arrives in an A4 presentation box and will be posted around the 9th September.
