Julia K Walton who lives in beautiful surrounds in Scotland is JKW Fire Horse on flickr and FireHorse Textiles on etsy. She also has a store called LoveButtons on etsy which is a great source of vintage buttons and buckles, perfect for refashioning cardigans and jumpers or maybe even be daring and try some wall art. Julia has some very helpful tips on her blog. She is an incredibly talented artisan who works with many different types of textiles. Her small artworks on etsy are very reasonably priced and quite individualistic…perfect for those areas you want to showcase in the home or office.
Above is a bag Julia made using recycled strips and to top it off a vintage frame she picked up in an antique shop. The inside is made using Kaffe Fassett fabric…absolutely made for it you might say!
Then there are Julia’s stunning mug coasters, works of art using many fabrics, often recycled.
Julia is hugely into recycling and made this incredible rag rug using four woollen blankets from a charity shop.
Julia it is always such fun for me to see your creations…thank you!
