Lately I've been.....

Lately I've been...

making a range of limited edition pillows!


HAND-PAINTED

Hemp organic cotton was my canvas and cool ocean waters my inspiration. The inks are water-based and the fabric has been heat set so you can be sure the cushions are colourfast.




SHIBORI

This range of limited edition shibori cushions are rich with copper on a cream hemp silk background. I used eucalyptus leaves and copper pipe as a mordant with red onion skin and rusty nails for the rich copper colour. 





Each of these cushions is available now from EcoInspired's Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/EcoInspired

Earthy and Warm


I recently arranged to custom dye some 13oz hemp and organic cotton to this orange, marmalade colour. It took the dyers a few tries to get the colour just right but what a colour it is...earthy and warm and not the least bit shy.
Here it is in situ as stylish occasional seating and meeting room chairs at our recent installation; a new media agency in Brisbane. Photographic images courtesy of Sophie Seeger.

Our upholstery weight hemp and organic cotton is available treated for fire retardancy and is rated as suitable for General Commercial use.
Without the fire retardancy treatment the fabric is rated suitable for Heavy Duty Commercial purposes.

Available colour ways: charcoal, black, silver ash, marmalade, custom dyed yardage (min 5mtrs).
