Silo Sessions with The Phoenix Foundation

Yay! It looks to be a fantastic day, come and join us down at Silo Park for the Silo Sessions with The Phoenix Foundation and Bannerman. Noon until 5pm

Of course there will be fabulous market stalls, a range of delicious food, Mr Dix Coffee and a well stocked container bar.

Ellaquaint have produced some hilarious St Patrick's Day card designs. Images will be posted shortly.

Latest Pieces

Well we have been head down tail up getting new work together for the Parnell Mother's Day Market on Sat 7th May.

Oops, taking over the flat . . .

Over the years I have collected a huge range of old fabrics, table linen, inherited sewing trimmings and other pretty stuff I have just hoarded. We thought we could up-cycle these gorgeous snippets of fabric and create a range of works that are more affordable that the original paintings that Ella produces.

This bear was sourced from a vintage etching.

 Lovely old drawn thread-work provides an effective base for this elegant horse.

  

This wee bear has green ideas.

Also we included some images from a book I discovered in my mum's things. 'Alice though the Looking Glass' . It features the original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. I love the inscription on the inside of it

Here is one of the works that got created in response to the delightful drawings.

If you are at a loose end on Saturday, come and check out the ellaQuaint stall. We will have cards, printed and original one-offs, illustrated prints, unique up-cycled canvas works (like above) and last but definately not least, some of Ella's fabulous manu paintings.

Mother's Day Market

our first craft market

We had our first market today and it was great fun. Here are a couple of pics that show the ellaQuaint store, not the best photos but you can get the jist of it from these.

Pity Ella didn't make it ;D
