New Outlet

News this week.....
I have a new outlet from which to sell my scarves. Jane Wheldon, of 'Get ahead Hat's' near Pickering and Scarborough, has kindly agreed to stock my scarves. It is a very exciting time!
Get Ahead Hats hire and sell hats for posh do's, the races,weddings, in fact for any occasion that needs a beautiful hat! And now you can also buy a beautiful handcrafted scarf, wrap or boa to go with it!! As well as visiting their showroom, you can also buy their hats (and my scarves!), at the Feversham Arms, Helmsley, and view them in the shop window next to Marks and Spencers in Scarborough.

Felt Flower Workshp, 25 April

Well what a great day we had on Sunday..........Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and were extremely industrious making lots of beautiful flowers, as well as mastering the different techniques. Note all the flowers in the foreground of the picture!

This week

Today, I been mainly planting broad beans!

For those of you who don't know, my husband and I have a field where we grow organic veg. (Only on a small scale for ourselves and a few friends & family.)

This weekend we have been planting seeds - we are very behind with our plot, having only just dug it over. We don't have much experience - but we are hoping that when people say that plants just want to grow - they are right!

We have the best view over Scarborough so being in the field is incredibly therapeutic, and this weekend we have had glorious weather - winter finally seems to be over. These pictures are of one of my wraps, (amongst the leeks) last year. You can see Scarborough Castle in the distance.

Flowers

This week, I plan to make a few more felt flowers as examples for next weekends workshop.

(There is still one place left if anyone is interested.)

Photo's
Finally - here are few of my new photo's by Richard Wood. I just need to get myself sorted now and market them!

Up coming workshop and other news

Felt Flower Workshop
My next workshop is Felt Flowers on 25th April. There are only a few places left!
To give you a range of experience, you will make various flowers using different techniques. These can be used for brooches, corsage's, hair accessories, or just for decoration.....
For more information please take a look on my website http://www.lindseytyson.co.uk/, or email me on info@lindseytyson.co.uk

Coming soon!
I am currently waiting in anticipation for the result of my recent photoshoot with Richard Wood, photographer also based here at Woodend Creative Workspace. Richard patiently spent the day taking photo's of my new collection. You would never imagine how tiring it can be just hanging up scarves and taking photo's of them - but I assure you by the end of the day, we had both had enough.
As soon as I receive the finished products, I will be adding them to my website, and I may even post a few pics on my blog! So watch this space.....

The start of things to come

Hello Everybody!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Lindsey Tyson, and I am a textile designer and artist. Having spent many years travelling with my work, I now live and work in Scarborough - most enterprising town in Europe!
This is my first attempt at 'blogging' so I hope you will bear with me. Although I am not a twitterer, (not yet at least), I thought that it would be nice to share my ups and downs, my aims and ambitions, and record my achievements as they develop. Currently I am in the process of designing a new collection of scarves and wraps which I hope to unleash on the world very shortly.

I also thought that it would be great fun to amass a gallery of photo's of those wonderful people who have bought my scarves and wraps - (preferably wearing them) - so if you are one of those people, please feel free to send me your pics. (I will put them on my web site, and on this blog, if I can work out how!!)

Thankyou all for taking the time to read my waffle, and I hope you come back again soon.
