We had an interesting and enjoyable walk along the Regents Canal yesterday. We discovered this very colourful, mirrored geometric sculpture constructed under the Westway Bridge in Paddington by Paddington Basin. After a bit of research I discovered the sculpture is called Colour Transfer by Liz West. The whole sculpture was a kaleidoscope of colour that change as you walk on under the bridge. Made from steel, aluminium and pvc. There are also two Heatherwick bridges in the area which we missed 😩so we’ll be back 😁@lizweststudio @britishlandplc #geometric #mirrorsculpture #bridge #paddingtonbasin #regentscanal #canalwalk #citywalk #londonwalks #artinthecity #sculpture #publicart #geometricsculpture #colour #colourpop #livinginthecity #londonliving #LizWest #colourtransfer #sculptor #womensculptors #artcommissions #commissionart #femalesculptor

These pink roses are the highlight in our garden that I look forward to.They’re almost neon and are smothering the fence in there pinkness. Not sure what variety they are but they’re pretty old. #michellehouseprints #michellehouse #neon #pink #hotpink #roses #pinkroses #gardenflowers #citygarden #flowers #pinkness #neoninspiration #rosegarden #naturelovers #flowerlovers #colourpop #summertime #pinksummer
A selection of the types of work I create, all laid out on the ‘clean’ print table for a studio visitor yesterday. The beginning of a new working relationship . Watch this space 😁. #michellehouseprints #michellehouse #collaboration #artcollaboration #commission #commissions #artconsultant #artcommissions #luxurycraft #bespokedesign #oneoffdesigns #artforinteriors #artforhotels #printmaking #textileart #handprinted #wallhangings #abstractart #geometricart #geometricdesign #handmade
Often when I’m creating a new piece of work new ideas come during the making process. Here’s a detail of one of the artworks that I made for #thefutureofcraft with @design_nationuk @futureicons_ and @oxotowerwharf . The printing is not quite finished here, but I like the composition with the white, which later turned to pink. @londoncraftweek . #michellehouseprints #michellehouse #londoncraftweek #londonartist #workinprogress #thinkingthroughmaking #artistsprocess #closeup #designnation #designer #designermaker #textileart #textileartist #printmaking #handprinted #madebyhand #luxurycraft #luxurydesign #interiordesign #geometricdesign #geometricart #geometricabstraction #abstractart #makingart #crafts #collectibles #artforhotels #artcollector
As well as creating smaller artworks I mostly work on a much larger scale. This ‘Winter Landscape’ wall-hanging is hand-painted and printed with dyes and pigments on to linen and a linen/viscose mix. Two sections of fabrics are joined together here, the bottom section has a gold thread running all the way through the linen. Difficult to see in a photo, but it gives a lovely sparkle and warm feel. This piece measures 120 x 80cm , some of my hangings have been over 3m in height or length. Artworks can also be stretched over a wooden frame. Get in touch for commissions and bespoke artworks for your space. I love a challenge 😁.

Getting the measurements and lines correct in this piece I made recently for #thefutureofcraft @oxotowerwharf with @design_nationuk and @futureicons_ for @londoncraftweek . I unstitched and re-stitched so as to make sure all the lines and angles were lined up and to my satisfaction. This part can be very time consuming, especially on a large hanging of three or more sections. The fabric moves, even though I tack the pieces in place. I have this challenge all the way through, especially if the composition has lots of geometric shapes within it. The steaming and washing shrinks the fabric and often changes the straight lines and angles as the fabric re-adjusts itself. Then I add in the extra challenge of joining fabrics together, all with different shrinkage rates. I do love a challenge though 😁. #michellehouse #michellehouseprints #textileart #textileartist #artistsprocess #handprinted #designnation #londoncraftweek #bespokedesign #collectart #artforwalls #luxurycraft #handmade #madebyhand #londonartist #measurements #oneoffdesign #artcommissions #designer #interiordesign #artforinteriors #workinprogress #artinprogress #geometricdesign #artcollector #londonexhibition
