Wow where has the time gone, we our now into the 2nd month of opening our Handmade Boutique

Hello and welcome to all our lovely felters, makers, creators and all round lovely people!

Today is just a quick post really to say that we are now in our second month of trading at the Handmade Boutique! I can't quite believe where its gone to, but I have to say I am absolutely over the moon with the progress so far.

We have had such great feedback over our joint venture and the positive comments about the craftsmanship, the individuality and the standard of workmanship has been so wonderful to receive. I personally have received such brilliant feedback on my product range and kits as well as lots of course bookings.

So if you haven't visited the boutique yet in The Great Western Arcade in Birmingham, you are in for a real treat... stock is changing all the time so you are sure to be met with new inspirations each time you go in.

For now I will leave you with a few pics.

Titch Design was set up in 2012 after designer Rachel Wiseman (aka Titch) graduated from university with a first class BA Hons degree in Graphic Design. The lack of job opportunities made her decide to create her own job! She took a chance and decided to embark on an adventure…Titch set up her own company and is now doing what she enjoys best creating, producing and selling her own designs.
 

Titch Design produces unique hand designed products, mainly paper related; including greeting cards, gift wrap, notepads, framed prints, memo blocks, small gifts including pocket mirrors and badges to name just a few of her items. Titch is inspired by a huge variety of things and when inspiration strikes she just goes with it! One thing that is very clear in her designs is that she absolutely loves colour! Titch is continuously working on new designs, products and ideas…there is always a long list on the go of what to do next. Titch Design strives to be and is extremely proud to be 100% British designed and made!

 

Titch Design was thrilled to be selected to have space to showcase her work in the Flutterby ArtBoutique, Curborough Craft Centre. A brilliant opportunity to sell her products along side many other talented designer makers in a fabulous little boutique. 

 

Titch Design products are available to buy in the Flutterby Art Boutique; you can also shop online in the Titch Design Etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/TitchDesign, and keep up to date with all the latest Titch Design news and goings on by visiting her Facebook page www.facebook.com/TitchDesign.

Todays Featured Artist at the Flutterby Art Boutique

Hello lovely makers and creators we we have another treat for you today as we feature another talented artist at the fabulous Flutterby Art Boutique run by Kate Williams bringing local talent together.

Today we feature Pat Wilkes and this is what Pat has to say about her creative journey...

"I have been crafting from a very early age, my mom taught me how to knit and crochet and I love anything creative. Over the years I have made jewellery, cards, scrapbooks and also textile projects. I still make cards and jewellery but tend to have settled on the keepsake and gift market.

My passion at the moment is vintage linens and vintage wooden items which can be up cycled and made into something unique and beautiful, giving them a new life in this modern world. I think I am at my happiest when I am creating a new piece, but I can be my own worst critic like most creative people.

I am so happy to now have some of my stock at the Flutterby Art Boutique at CurboroughCraft Centre something I never thought would ever happen, a complete dream come true."

Here 4 U Hope U Know How Much I Care Boxed Card

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my latest new range to be featured on Folksy. This is a range of subtle, natural and recycled boxed sentiment cards, each box and card has a flower theme and a meaningful sentiment on it. I have gone for simple understated elegance with this range, so that the range can cover a wide variety of topics. Topics include but are not limited to, sympathy, gratitude, showing you care or just simply saying hello.

We live in such a fast paced society where so much of our lives is controlled by electronics... that its nice to slow down the pace and take time out to send something tangible and thoughtful.

In the blink of an eye I had a babe in arms who is now an adult.

Hope you all get to take some time out for each other this weekend.

Thanks you for taking the time to visit The Handmade by Tigerlily Blog

Daisy Doodles Dotty Seamless Felted Handbag

Hi everyone, I thought today I would show case one of my felted bags, felting is one of my favourite past times and you will see it featured amongst many mediums quite a lot over the coming weeks. This is one of my latest additions to my Folksy store and features my passion for daisies, though daisies are not my only passion when it comes to flowers.

I also wanted to use my blog as a platform for other handmade finds and sellers, so if you have a handmade shop email me details and I may be able to feature your shop along with other finds that month.

Next week I will be featuring soap makers, jewellery makers and much more so stay tuned.
