Rag Heart Craftz by Linsey LLoyd: My home and garden...

Welcome to Rag Hearts........

Hi all I have started on a new hobby of rag rugging and cushion making that I would like to share with you.

Firstly I was creating them for my own home as they make any room look homely and warm, and soon my friends and family were interested and I have been creating for them. And that has now lead to me setting up my own shops on folksy and ebay please check it out.

All of my materials are recycled so the colours in my designs may vary. I can make to your own colour and shape requirements.

I hope you like my designs and want a piece of my art in your home.

I am also a big art fan in general. I loved art at G.C.S.E level back in high school, it was then that I discovered that I was good at it. Then I took 2 art A-levels 3-d art and fine art, and a separate year long course that covered everything.

I really enjoyed the 3-d art especially the jewellery making that we got to try. I found the fine art quite restricting as we had to just copy like for like and I don't like concentrating on detail and accuracy. I love colour, shape and expression,big bright and bold are my favourite ways to work.

I enjoy looking at the shapes in plants and flowers and the forms and curves they make. I also take a big interest in their colour, colourful flowers really cheer me up.

I hope you enjoy my drawings and painting as much as I do xxx

Here's a collection of the little treasures that I love in my home and garden....

My lovely husband has just spent the last half hour putting up 2 new blinds, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. They make the rooms look my cosier.

Everything is in bloom....i love my flowers they make me happy, especially my big daisy's

This little swallow was given to me on my wedding day a present from my yoga teacher. It has a message engraved on it's wing "life is a promise....for fill it". I think it's very sweet and have it hanging on my kitchen door handle.
