Making this bag. We'll, finishing it. I started a year ago, but then things got in the way including lost instructions. It's made from a vintage velvet and an art nouveau print furnishing fabric which I embellished. I padded the whole lining slightly to give it form I stained and varnished the pretty wooden rings. I need to make the straps now. The bag closes with zipper. Inside there's a pocket. I won't be selling, it's for me. I quite often make bags, always when I was younger. #veronicaaldousarts #bonsaibag #madebyrae #arttextiles #finearttextiles #bagmaking #craft #ontrend #brownvelvet #etsysellers https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7f-ZFntF3/?igshid=16eoekjgn0wio

A couple of pictures of studio. I've a beautiful machine that was my Mother's. It stitches anything with ease. I've all the feet and a few more. I've tidied up today. I could do with more, space but I am very tidy and adaptable. Even if I had a huge studio I would be tidy. The room is very light and has a good overhead light fitting. I look out on the lovely trees. I'm making a mossy lion, second picture. I sit at a small antique table to hand sew and draw. #veronicaaldousarts #inherstudio #arttextiles #artstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnnTFgniNe/?igshid=1q8mhn6upfs2j

Mid century colours for a Little Lion. I've sold all my lions so must make some new ones for my Etsy shop. I love these colours. Blues and fawns and ochre gold. I buy. A lot of art materials and this includes fabrics and wools. All the fabrics you see are pure wool. Here we go! First to draft a pattern. #veronicaaldousarts #colours #arttextiles #finearttextiles https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaCcvQHUkt/?igshid=1r8poz08k3ca1

It’s impossible to not believe in magic at this time of year when everything explodes from a state of death and hibernation into the most abundant and vibrant life and vitality. This is a part of our driveway to our home. The colours are so vivid that is it any wonder we are inspired to create art ? Soon we will be sharing more about the wall art we have created that emulates the richness that surrounds us. #arttextiles #inspiringnature #spring #lockdownlife #appreciation #gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/B_4rXE7gCR4/?igshid=y4eo31kvpfpw

I thought you might enjoy seeing some black silk velvet fabric being printed for a special order today. Once it has been through this process it will be over-dyed with bright peacock colours. #arttextiles #textileart #bespokecouture #couturier #luxurycouture #artofhandcrafted #handprinted #silkscreenprinting #luxuryprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXFGH7gJia/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xhl0i309v8hy
