Finished: A commission for Gabi Bolton

I wanted to share a couple of photos of a commission I have been working on...


It has been a fascinating process for me working to create someone else's designs and ideas, and working with Gabi's beautiful hand dyed raffia has been a joy; the colours are amazing.


It is so lovely to see the work finally in place. Gabi's work is currently on show until the 9th Nov. at The Cold Press in Holt, Norfolk. To view more of her work, please visit Originallittlebird.co.uk.

p.s. do pop over to Handmade Monday...

    Wow! It's amazing to see raffia so beautifully crafted - I only ever associate raffia with hastily wrapped gifts ...
    fabulous work and a lovely blog with inspiring stuff.

    Gosh - that is amazing - doesn't look like raffia and the coloured flower raffia on the chair is beautiful and how unusual!

    I can't believe these beautiful creations are all made from humble raffia! They really are gorgeous, i especially like the rainbow of colours you've used for the chair back x

      Thank you. I didn't see the chair until the private view on Saturday! I was commissioned to make crochet flowers with raffia and Gabi turned them into that wonderful chair!

    Fantastic chair, I love the mixture of colours. All of them must have taken ages for you to make.

      Thankfully my job was just the crochet, Gabi assembled everything into the lovely things above. x

    That is beautiful. Love them but can't help thinking about all the labour hours. Worth it though.x
