In Case You Missed This: Handmade Portraits: Skinny laMinx

In case you missed seeing the Handmade Portrait of South African designer Heather Moore last week on Etsy, (like me), I thought I'd share it here. So fun to see someone whom you've dealt with from time to time in real moving pictures. Plus, she makes the most amazing textiles.

Skinny Laminx's Before and After Orla Chairs

How stunning are these orla-esque before and after chairs Skinny Laminx had covered recently using her Orla fabrics. One of her very first designs that was on tea towels first, she now has available in a rainbow of colours, screenprinted in waterbased inks onto a cotton/linen basecloth. So we too, can now orla-esque our world! Visit more images at her blog and her etsy shop for all her amazing textiles.

New Skinny Laminx Pillows

Always a favourite here, South Africa's skinny laminx has some new pillows in her shop this week made from her beautiful textile pattern, Duikers. This design has ancient origins: the little drawing of a duiker that she used in repeat is taken from a 2000-year-old cave drawing in the Cedarberg, just a few hours north of Cape Town. It's part of her Sevilla Rock collection of screenprinted fabrics, all available in yardage.

The Duikers design is screenprinted with waterbased ink onto 100% cotton with a linen-look slubby texture, and overdyed in a natural tone. It's backed in natural toned cotton/linen, , and closes with a zip at the base. (Also available in green).
