Blossom is about supporting
local artists and crafters as Africa
is a source of imagination and creation.
Other than individuals we stock goods from various upliftment
programmes.
This month we feature Lauren Fowler
Lauren Fowler is a
24 year old illustrator working in Kalk Bay,
Cape Town. Having originally studied Graphic Design, she decides
to focus on illustration and craft
work. Her interests include illustrating, knitting and
sewing as well as song writing.
Lauren fills her craft time by cutting felt and sewing buttons
to make unique brooches, making small
flower headbands from ribbon and bits
of fabric, knitting tea cosies, teddy bears called Walter
and mini scarves called Scarflett O' Haras
and illustrating and hand painting gift
cards.
Always looking for new ideas and craft skills, Lauren hopes to,
one day, be able to crochet and knit
a jersey. Go to Lauren's website.
