Cardiff Design Festival Awards 2011

For the third year running, I was delighted to be commissioned to design and make the awards for the Cardiff Design Festival. Two layers of taut cotton threads were composed in a bright cerise and emerald green, with a fine dividing line in sunshine yellow.

Below are some pictures of the awards at the ceremony on Friday night (a top night at the Cardiff Coal Exchange). They aren't the best quality as they were taken on my phone. But the awards were lit by a changing spectrum of coloured light shining through them, and I couldn't believe the extraordinary effect - they were literally glowing when the red light shone through.

Oh, and I should add, I did actually win one of my own awards for the designs I produced for the Heals Discovers collection! Am delighted to say that the collection seems to be selling well for Heals as I've had my first reorder for the Symmetree throw. If you're asking Santa for a Laura Thomas Heals throw this Christmas - tell him to buy sooner rather than later!



Cardiff Design Festival 2010 awards

I was delighted to be commissioned once again this year to create the Cardiff Design Festival Awards.  The theme behind this years events is 'into the light', and the ceremony is being held at the Coal Exchange in Cardiff Bay.  I therefore opted to have dark blue, grey and charcoal threads (to represent the coal) in silk cotton and linen merging in to silver lurex and light reflective threads. Winners to be announced this evening.

Cardiff Design Festival Awards

Have got an awful lot of updating of blog to do! Been so much going on over the last couple of months, it's been hard to catch up with myself! Anyway, over the next couple of days I hope to update you all on things that have been happening for me..... got my marketing hat on today!

Firstly, last month I had the rather lovely commission to make 12 Awards for the Cardiff Design Festival.

All the same structure of converging threads of cotton and silk, each award was in a different colour, thus making a real impact when displayed together, but obviously still full of life individually.

Anyway, there seemed to be a lot of happy Award recipiants! I was particularly delighted the Kutchibok Design won one..... as they are the lovely designers responsible for my website. A much deserved prize for them.
