Mr. Finch, a reserved artist in England who goes only by this name, creates beautiful woodland creatures and plants that seem to have come right out of old English fables. Hares, spiders and mushrooms are recurring characters in his dream-like pieces, which are also inspired by British folklore and fairytales. They are all sewn out of vintage textiles, each of which has a story to tell.

Wool might be the most ubiquitous of materials, and a dependable medium for use in any Autumn/Winter collection, but as a practicing designer–how well do you understand wool as a natural fibre, where it comes from and the mosaic history of its production? Following NJAL’s appointment as a Nominating Body for the International Woolmark Prize, it’s time to highlight the versatility and modernity of Merino wool. It's time to snuggle up with a material that has long been out of vogue. After years of decline, Wool has once again become synonymous with the high fashion circuit and its certainly found favour with the industry’s top design houses and fashion's emerging set alike. It comes after nearly forty long years of being destroyed by the trend for synthetic fibres.

"My art works are made of flax and the working method can be compared to painting and drawing, but the 'paint' is the fiber that is normally used e.g. as a base material for oil paintings. In addition, I use stitching to form 'drawn' lines and rice starch as a binder." - Raija Jokinen Raija
A Textile Designers guide to the art of Fabric Manipulation to use in simple craft projects
We will tell you one point right at the start; it is impossible to capture the impact of the outside world on to a canvas. Nevertheless, having said that we can also tell you that many worthy artists have tried their best and captured some of what they see from their perspective if not in the entirety of how Mother Nature created it. However, we would like to say that these landscape artists have really put in a lot of effort and this has to be appreciated. They have captured the outdoors from a point of view that is their own and they share it with the rest of the world. If you too love the look of green around you, then you should look at amazing garden ideas for you to consider.
