What a way to end this chapter…
This here is the final piece of work to leave my Perth studio before I make the move home to the Isle of Lewis.
Sadly, I can’t share the entire piece just yet, but all will be revealed in due course.
What I can show you is one of my favourite details.
If you look closely, you’ll spot my Maker’s ID mark (HTF) hidden amongst the leaves. You’ll find that mark somewhere on every piece I create.
Together with the official Harris Tweed® swing tag, it tells the story of where the piece came from. The Orb Mark confirms that the cloth was genuinely handwoven in the Outer Hebrides, while my Maker’s ID identifies me as the creator of the finished work, allowing its origin to be traced back to my workshop.
A small detail, perhaps.
But behind that small detail lies years of learning, refining, experimenting, making mistakes, solving problems and finding better ways to do things.
People often see the finished flower.
They don’t always see the journey it took to get there.
Where I am today was once only a dream. A simple idea that began with me making my own wedding bouquet all those years ago. I never forget where I came from, how it all started, or where this journey has led.
As I pack up my studio and prepare for the next chapter, I’m feeling incredibly grateful for every lesson, every customer, every opportunity and every person who believed in my work along the way.
Next stop: Lewis.
And I can’t wait to see what grows there. 💐
