Did you know that I design a lot of the fabrics I use myself? And that those fabric designs start as illustrations? Which means that if you like the art, but don't need a lampshade, or wallet, you could just get it for your wall? How about the kākāriki?🦜

Just a few coin purses fused and cut.
Next up: fuse the labels then overlock the edges, then sew them up, and finally, trim, turn and press.
How many do you reckon are here?
And how many did you reckon I’ll get stitched in the next 24 hours (I’ll run out of zips for some…)?

AngelaNot to sound like an awful embittered art critic, lol, they're beautiful pieces and obv take lots of time. The feather detail and general mien of each manu is lovely.
But... The heads. The heads and beaks are practically identical, and maybe the scale is off onscreen but the smaller bird figures don't seem distinct enough from one another, apart from the kōtare.
And if I personally was gonna splurge on a glass figure of a #nznative, I'd want truly painstaking detail.
I popped into Welly Collective last night for a stock top-up on my #NZNative range. These are the ones where I’ve turned my own original illustrations of native manu into fabric designs, then used those fabrics to create homewares, stationery and accessories.
