New product photography

It's been a while since I blogged - new jobs and design projects have consumed my time since Christmas. I've also been preparing to show my work at Pulse in London in June (whooooop! London trip! ; )

Good product photography is essential to improve sales and impress potential stockists. To improve the quality of the photography on my website I commissioned Napier University student Olga Tyukova to take new pics for me. Below are a few of my favourites - you can see the rest on my website at www.sharonpringle.co.uk.

My first blanket is here!

For a long while I've collected blankets of every sort - you could say it's a bit of an obsession. Blankets made of mohair and lambswool sit alongside cotton comforters and vintage Welsh woollens in my flat. I think blankets are far superior to duvets in every way : )

So, it made sense for me to design a blanket of my very own...

Made of the very softest Scottish lambswool and knitted in the Borders, my blanket is truly special, and one that's perfect as a gift to last a lifetime. It's cosy and soft and the perfect size for sofa snuggling and generally beating the winter chills (140cm x 130cm approx).

It will get it's first outing at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh on Thursday, the 8th of December (6.30-9.30pm), where I'll have a stall. Hope to see you there.

I have a few blankets in stock, but as they'll be made to order, email me if you'd like more info.

MŌDH magazine launch

Last night I went to the launch of Textiles Scotland's new interiors and fashion mag, which are published under the title of MŌDH. My Elie collection is featured, and I have to say it all looks rather lovely. The venue was the conference suite at the Point Hotel in Edinburgh and it was all very swish. The venue looks out on to the castle and the city and Edinburgh was at her beautiful autumnal best. : ) Check it the mag in Issuu, in all its glory!

Open publication - Free publishing - More cashmere

New stockist - Dallas and Dallas, Glasgow

An update for all you west coast design lovers... you can now find my Elie collection products in Dallas and Dallas, Glasgow. It's a gorgeous shop in the city's Merchant City - spacious and light-filled, which sets off all their lovely products beautifully. I'm delighted to be stocked by them as it's a shop I've admired for a long time. My 'Anster' and 'Croupie' mugs are already there, as are two of my cushions. The rest of the collection will follow when I get the other items back in stock, which should be in the next few weeks.

Here's an iPhone pic of my 'Anster' cushion on one of the store's amazing sofas. It looks at home I think ; )

New stockist for Elie Collection

You can now find my mugs, cushions, cards and fabrics in Inhouse, Howe Street, Edinburgh! I'm also getting together my very first fabric book, which will hopefully come together in a couple of weeks : )

Anster mug in situ...

One of my very first customers liked her 'Anster' mug so much, she took a pic and sent it to me! It looks very happy in that very neat cupboard - I'm glad it's found a lovely home : )

First stockist for new collection

First new collection delivery has been made... to the fab Red Door Gallery on Edinburgh's Victoria Street. You'll be able to have a look at all three Elie mugs and the 'Anster' and 'Lundar' cards and cushions. Exciting times...

And of course, all of my mugs and cushions are available from my new website... http://sharonpringle.co.uk
