Kimono fabric drying in the sunlight… It is so pretty… I got to use a good stash of my kimono fabric over the weekend. All the new creations will be heading Magnolia Square in 10 days time… You can find out about Magnolia Square at http://www.magnoliasquare.com.au/

Had fun today doing some collage work in my other job! (My other job is ennisperry.com)
I often find that each of my jobs can influence the other. Turning a flat page into something new and interesting is not dissimilar to sewing something beautiful from something forgotten.
I love the colours in this collage. I can only show a little snippet as the client has not even seen the concept yet, but its exciting!
It makes me want to sew up some patchy scarves in this colour way!
PS: Promise to upload some new pieces soon for a sneak peak!
A day off today was meant to be spent creating a special invitation… Something else took over and I had the urge and compelling need to paint.
I love painting, but do not do it often enough. It felt real and absorbing to create for me and no one else. Hopefully I get the chance to do more soon.
It did give me some new ideas for some subtle LUcÉ scarves. Shades of grey… handpainted… hmmm… we’ll see how it goes…
Back in the studio… Summer holidays were so lovely… Time has just flown on by these last few months, with lots of exciting things happening in the studio.
I am aiming to try and be a little more regular here at ‘from the fabric of life’ and try and show more things that inspire the creations from LUcÉ. So to begin the year… Here are some holiday snaps to savour.
These were taken late afternoon and at dusk while camping near the Yarrangobilly Caves in Kosciuszko National Park Snowy Mountains NSW. It was a really beautiful place.
It’s on tonight from 3pm at The Abbotsford Convent.
LUcÉ will be having a Christmas Sale!

I have managed a little studio facelift somewhere in there, I’m hoping the extra table will help with a steadier, more productive work flow. Fingers crossed.
