Inspired by our faithful friends and fellow creatures.
In 2019, experienced textile designer-maker and dog lover, Lisa Skelton combined both these passions to offer a new product: a uniquely crafted and beautifully designed bespoke portrait of your dog on a cushion. Using the highest quality fabrics with appliqué and embroidery techniques and remarkable attention to detail, Lisa strives to capture the unique character and appearance of your faithful friend. In time, the product range has extended to other pets and animals, and from cushions to stretched canvas frames. From the sofa to a portrait which can hang on the wall.
Lisa delights in the use of fabric, needle and thread to recreate our beloved pets: the play of light and shade on the fur, the look in their eyes, the texture of their coat, the way they sit before us. Lisa demonstrates how the choice of the right material, colour and stitching technique can be a powerful and expressive medium.
