The STORY story continues....

This is the second tea cosy I've made for my wonderful friend Monique Germon's new online store called STORY, which is planned to launch in early January. Its part of a collection of two tea cosies and four cushions, made-to-order (there are a couple of each piece in stock already).
This image shows the inside of this cosy which I've lined with delicious hand printed Pippijoe of Melbourne hemp fabric, called 'Buds'.

 A few details....hand embroidered text on vintage linen mangle cloth....

 Duchess silk satin 'finial' and binding...

 The teapot is stitched and appliqued hemp denim...

 The 'front' of the cosy, which is a made-to-order piece.

HIGH TEA exhibition at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre

With the help of my fabulous mother, Claire Badcock, my partner Rainier and my very well behaved and patient little 5 month old son Felix.....I have finally finished the five tea cosies for the exhibition at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre which opened tonight...

Voila, a few pics of the finished tea cosies and if you'd like to see more please check out this collection on my flickr site.
