Troubadour Exhibition room..

The room is shaped in an L and these were taken from me standing in the centre of the room.. we have some space to fill!!... but its a cool place and the bar next door is perfect....

Lovely Leather.....

Look at all this amazing leather and skins.... The great thing about it, is that it is all from animals being used for their meat... so nothing is wasted... which does make me feel better... the flash on the camera is changing the colours... the colours are so beautiful!.. I am very excited about these....

Squab Prototype No:1

This is my first attempt at a traditional Squab cushion.. I can't seem to find any instructions in any of the books I have for this particular design... So I got some 10 oz Hessian, Chinese horse hair and some mattress twine... A little over filled and a few mental notes along the way and I think when I crack on with the Scrim and ticking stripe versions they will be top quality!!...
