Dotty Bird Limited Edition Cushion Range

Great news! At the beginning of June I gained a new local stockist!
But what's even better is the products that are in stock are a little different from the usual Laura Felicity Design range you can purchase elsewhere online and in boutiques!

I approached Cosi Homewares, based in Muswell Hill back in April 2014 to see whether they would be like to be one of Laura Felicity Design's stockists.

Those of you who haven't been over to this shop, it's a must!  Full of bright colours and unique designers, I really hoped my collection would fit in nicely with the rest of the boutique.

To cut a long story short, being fond of the Dotty Bird design, but admitting the colour range wasn't quite right for them, I offered to do Limited Edition colourways especially for Cosi Homewares to suit the branding of the shop!
Plus this would give me an excuse to see Dotty Bird in a different light!

Two months on, and sample trial after sample trial, I finally delivered the limited Edition batch to the Cosi Homeware boutique at the beginning of June!
...and here they are...




These cushions have been screen printed by hand (by yours truly of course) on 100% white linen with three colour options;
Teal and Apple Green,
Magenta and Chocolate Brown
Mustard and Plum Purple
100% linen reverse in charcoal grey with an envelope opening and feather filled inner pad finishes off the three colour way fronts of the cushion nicely. 

These cushions are retailing at Cosi Homewares for £49.00, and are available to purchase NOW!

They will be also be for sale on my website in September...however if you are keen to have one NOW via Laura Felicity Design, I am happy to sell them at the same retail price as Cosi! Simply get in touch!

I would also love to know your thoughts on these colour ways!

Best Wishes,

Laura Felicity Design

Kids Screen Print Birthday Party Workshop.

Following on from my Hen Party Workshop I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to also tell you about the 10 year old's Birthday Party I was invited to host.

Based at the Craft House in Richmond, which is run by the Artyard Handmade, I taught 10 kids the basics of stencil screen printing, enabling them to take away a tote bag and art print each.

Each child designed their block design by either tracing already found images I supplied, from visuals around the workshop, or through their own imagination! I really was amazed with the designs they came up with!

It was surprisingly great fun for me to host this type of workshop, as it was the first time I have taught children...and didn't really know what I was going to be walking in to.
But I loved it, and I now am looking to host more of these Kids Birthday Party workshops via the Artyard Handmade in the months to come.

Interested in knowing more information about the Kids Workshops, or any other workshops I host? Please get in touch, I would love to hear from you!

For now, here are some images I was able to take in the two hour class to show you what a talented bunch of girls I had on the creative workshop!








Best Wishes,
