lovely things: laura amiss

Something pretty to brighten up your week.  A lovely artist whose work I admire, Laura Amiss.

Laura is an illustrator and designer working with textiles and print.

"My handmade canvases are unique and are created using a selection of new and reclaimed fabrics. My work is composed of subtle lines and color combinations produced through layering, piecing and sewing fabrics together. I draw inspiration from my every day environment and hope that the way in which I recapture the landscape or moments of ordinary life allows people to appreciate them with a fresh perspective."

Laura has a lovely etsy shop selling her prints and canvases.  The colours she uses are beautiful and are perfect to welcome spring.
