Spring Florals

I started Shibang Designs as a way to create functional pieces of art, in the form of purses and accessories, each embellished with my signature wool felt applique style. After working small scale for several years, I am now shifting my focus on my textile technique by creating large scale pieces. These large textile art pieces and cushion covers are part of the new line that I will be showing next week at the Toronto One of a Kind Spring Show.

These are some process photos and pieces that I have been working on lately.

For anyone in the Toronto area who is planning to come to the show I have a few tickets that I’m giving away from my Facebook page this weekend.

One of a Kind Online Shop

The organizers of the One of a Kind Show have created a new kind of experience with the introduction of the online shop. This new way to shop the One of a Kind Show features 10 artisans, offering 25 editions of an item that is under $100 and has not been shown at any previous show. Each shop has a theme and items are only available for the two week duration of the online shop.

Featured in this current theme is Shibang’s new line of Wall Art. The piece available is 12″ x 16″ and can be customized in any of the available colours.

This is the format of the piece available at The One of a Kind Online Shop until October.10th. 

Available colours shown below.
