Glamour in new textiles

Shopping for fabrics today, I kept running across new fabrics that are total GLAMOUR! Sequins in boucles, aurora borealis rhinestones on silk, silvery filaments in velvet. Gorgeous glam! Interested in adding some glam to your space? Glam-ing up the greys? Try these!

How can damask be better... in shiny silver velvet!

Glorious as drapes with the sheen of silk and the glimmer of crystal.

Isaac, you are killing me with this glorious sequined boucle!
Glamorous ottoman, or new item of clothing, I cannot choose.

Drapes or ball gown?

New chaise upholstery?

An ottoman by any other name, still sits as awesomely!

Ottomans, poufs, hassocks, footstool, there are as many names for them as places they come from in the world. They work as foot stools, seating, dog beds, and in a pinch a stepping stool! Here are some great pouf options!

laurl designs- the website

I am working on building my new site. Building online portfolios and trying to connect the variety of things that I do into one cohesive concept is difficult. Artist, creator, designer. Color, pattern, line. Concepts, ideas, actions. Here are some of my new images on the site.

Grey and yellow. Sparkle and ikat. Recycled and wearable.

Pink and green is always a great combo. I love recycling fabrics into new things.
 

Rich reds, ochers, greens make this pretty necklace

I love the turquoise chaise with the houndstooth cabinet and clear tables.

Handbags can be made more interesting as a collection.

fabrics, fabrics, fabrics!

I love to here the sound of the UPS man's breaks because it means I am about to get a package. Today's package is glorious. It is a fabric shipment for a bedroom project that is delicious! When I took the plastic off of the package, it has the tell-tell squeak of silk rubbing against silk. The back of the fabric is a burst of colored fibers, the front is the ordered beauty of an old world classic floral, re-made with a modern color palette. Floral jacquard silk. Really, need I really say more? In fabrics, color is never richer than when produced in silk. I cannot wait to make it into a headboard!



This fabric came too! I love the subtle animal print of velvet on a weighty natural cotton linen field. Would be perfect for a touch of whimsy in a neutral beach house! Or adding a hint of pale aqua in a creamy family room. Pillows? yes! Chair upholstery? Double yes!
