Question Time...

So, as you know our on-line shop is one whole month old, and we are looking to you to give us some feedback on what you think so far...how do you find the shop, what works, what doesn't, what you think of the range of products, the price points, imagery etc. What would you change, what would make you buy more, and what do we get just about right?

Be honest, be constructive, and don't be shy, we want to continually improve, and the best way to do that is to get as many pointers as possible from you lot out there...help support creative graduates, by giving us a helping hand...

Love from Kate & Eden

Knit one, stitch one...

This weekend it was all about being by the sea in Brighton for the Made'11 show, next weekend, we're moving up north to The Knitting & Stitching Show taking place in Harrogate from the 24-27 November.

Our very own Sandy Powell will be there as part of the graduate showcase, selling her home and fashion accessories, which we featured two weeks ago as our product of the week.

For your chance to see her work up-close, then Harrogate International Centre is the place to go, with Knit & Stitch being considered the best textile exhibition in Europe.

This is the second show that Sandy has been involved in since graduating over the Summer, and has been working non-stop to keep up with the demand for her beautifully hand-made cushions, corsages and bag charms.

Can't make it? Then take a look at all her collection available to buy... here ...

Made it myself...

We tweeted about this earlier in the week, but if you missed that, or don't follow us (why not?!) then a mini write-up awaits for the Made '11 event taking place this weekend in Brighton...

Running from the 17th to the 20th November at Brighton's Corn Exchange, this is your chance to get up close, and personal with some of the best hand-made treats from some of the UK's, new, emerging, and established designer-makers all under one roof.

We give a wee shout-out to our friends over at Vanilla Ink having made the trip down from Dundee to set-up shop with their sister company Contemporary Lab for the weekend, with work on show from our very own Nicola Reed, and the very talented Zoe Duthie, Jane Gowans, Katherine Seaman, Myia Bonner and Katie Lees.

Fancy a weekend in Brighton? Then take in the sea air, as well as an amazing creative showcase of some fantastic designers too...

Booming Marvellous...

Just a quick note to say...if you haven't seen it already through our Facebook Page, we now have a Pro Listing through Creative Boom, so hopefully much more exposure for us, and more importantly our featured designers...

Through the listing, we were able to include up to twenty images, so what a great opportunity we thought, to showcase pieces from each of the graduates and designers, take a look for yourselves in all it's glory...

Plus, some news on the horizon regarding us, and the lovely folk at Creative Boom, so watch this space, we're very very excited!!

Reading between the lines...

When it comes to maths, we're not the best, (well, me as the designer half of the duo anyway!) But in a genius cross-over from maths to design, today's featured designer has managed it.

Lizete Druku has recently graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Textiles, and has taken the structural qualities that exist in mathematics to create her own collection of textiles, as well as collaborating with jewellery designer Sarah Cunningham using polyhedra as a starting point.

"This project aims to resurrect the relationship between mathematics and pattern through aesthetic experience and to highlight the ethereal qualities of mathematic principles. By using the imagery from some of the seventy-five uniform polyhedra, forms from numbers and grid structures, the visual narrative creates a metaphor for the changing relationship between fashion and mathematics..." says Lizete about her inspiration.

In truth, the possibilities seem to be endless, and we are lucky enough to have a small collection of limited edition fine wool scarves, and etched jewellery pieces on offer in our shop. These are truly beautiful pieces, and it's proving to be very difficult not to buy them all for ourselves...check them out here before we do!!
