Harris Tweed

I'm so delighted to receive my order of Harris Tweed today from Christina's Harris Tweed from the Isle of Lewis (click photo left for link to her Facebook page). She weaves gorgeous fabric and I wish I could buy it all. A photo of one of the tweeds is to the right, the other tweed is a plain purple to match. 

Today, I also finished the first of the new pieces from my new range. A Harris Tweed cushion. It was great fun doing it and I've learned so much from making it and I got to go crazy on my new sewing machine. Most of the Harris Tweed (teal with a brown fleck) was purchased from Christina. I'll post a photo of it when I get some photos done.

Business Logo

Today I'm choosing my new business logo. It's not that I'm completely changing things too much. I'll have McLean Book Arts and my new project running in parallel. Unfortunately, I can't really see the book arts design and name (see right) working for my current ideas.

I have asked my wonderful sister in law to help me choose. I've whittled the choices down to five and I can't decide which would be the best one. Marion is the creative genius behind The Sword Engraver. She and my brother in law Ross produce original engraving with historical designs on all kind of armour and weaponry, mainly for historical weapons for re-enactment. Go and have a look, you'll love it.

I received more of my supplies yesterday, so I'm a very happy puppy. I'm really going to love working with this medium. I'll get some more work done tonight.

Have a wonderful day
talk soon
