I have a soft spot for this piece of old holey leather I'm using to make sample books with. The colour, the shape, make me happy.
Here is one of my pencil cases now for sale via my shop. It is hand block printed and painted. Its made from 100% linen and has a peach zip. It is different both sides.
Louisa was formally trained as a painter at Wimbledon school of Art, through her painting she pursues harmony of line, form and composition; all elements that influenced her current range of fabric designs. Taking inspiration from the traditional craft of block printing, one of the oldest methods of printing. Louisa uses simple geometric form and shape, embracing the nuances and subtle variation the process of block printing offers. Her patterns are finished with flecks of colour painted by hand.
