This nursing chair was part of an installation that showed the progression of work through traditional upholstery..

BABY FIFI..


I got quite into my cushions... Here is BABY FIFI, she is filled with duck feathers and I have used both sides of this very soft leather hide, to give her some texture and extra sex appeal!!..

MILKY..


Not really a traditionally upholstered piece of furniture, but one of my favorites from the 'RAWHIDE' exhibition..  He has a cambric inner filled plump with duck feathers and his outer coat is cowhide/hair done in patchwork, just because I like to make my life difficult!!.. HE IS GORGEOUS!!...

STIG...



This little beauty is 'STIG'.. he is finished in a nice and simple ticking stripe and the loose cushion is filled with duck feathers and covered in 100% Linen scrim...

The flowers were created especially for our exhibition by 'VICTORIA' and she can be contacted at vickiyates@gmail.com - she is a complete WONDER!!.. 

CELIA chair in progress...

I think it is nice and also interesting to see what goes into a traditionally upholstered piece of furniture....

CELIA CHAIR..


This is CELIA, on display at the exhibition 'RAWHIDE'...

RAWHIDE..

SO the project that prompted this blog spot took place on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th February at the Troubadour, the space shown on an earlier blog... Such a great space, I would highly recommend it!!

I'm uploading pieces on display at the show... any enquiries - please don't hesitate to contact me.. 

ENJOY!!..
