Design Ride

first sketch

We have been having a lot of fun recently with Ceeb (our Tandem #3 Umbrella Prints X Ceeb Wassermann) and a wonderful custom order from the US .

Our Elephant motif by Carly for Umbrella Prints comes from within our fabric design; then hand saw pierced into silver charms by silversmith Ceeb Wassermann and has now been adapted into earrings of differing sizes for a customer with symbolism in mind.

There have been so many emails flying around between us all but now being complete and on the way it is a very satisfying feeling to have been a part of a design ride like this. This collaboration also sees the birth of a new sized Elephant charm-Wee Elephant (weeny).

Our Elephant charm family includes Mumma Elephant and Bubba Elephant and Wee Elephant. We are more than happy to get creative if you have particular ideas for them.

Grazie- Decor8 and Domino Magazine

A while ago Umbrella Prints was contacted by the lovely Holly Becker (decor8) to let us know we would be included in an American Domino Magazine's gallery of her favourite fabrics on Etsy! Well, it has been posted and we are stoked to be included amongst 15 textile designers from around the world, 7 of which are Aussies doing their thing, yey.

The irony is we still haven't been noticed by the local Messenger newspaper!

Here is the link

How exciting.
