After visiting Provence, in the South of France, and seeing Shabby Chic style furniture comfortably settled into Ochre washed stone homes, I became inspired to explore my creativity in a new way. I have enjoyed the magic of growing plants that can be used to dye wool and cloth with the subtle colours of nature for many years. I wanted to use my skills and create items for the home using natural colours and recycled materials.
