Ok.. we have had another busy month, so much for getting a blog off every week. Thankyou to all who are feeling the cold and going in to look at my new pieces in all my lovely stockists… there has been such a fabulous response to the winter collection and I am working very hard to get everything out as quickly as I can, so please be patient if you are waiting for a special order. I really like to spend enough time on each one until I am happy, so you are happy when it arrives. And there is always the challenge, due to the very unique production, of getting pieces just right.
This month I was honoured to recieve a special commendation award for my commitment to the local arts scene from my local council. I thank all who voted for me, it really is very humbling to be recognised for the work that I love so much. I was also asked to present an award which of course I enjoyed. Nothing like an excuse to get dressed up and enjoy yourself.
I have spent a whirlwind few days in Sydney working on what is going to be the most exciting development in my design work… something I have been working on for several years is about to come to fruitition and I am so excited that I will soon be able to share it with you. I have had one of those weeks where things start to take shape and I can hardly hold in my excitement to share it.
While in Sydney I was lucky to get an invite to the Porters Paints Bowie Wallpaper release. Bowie is a well known Sydney designer whose label is pretty awesome and he has produced a beautiful wallpaper collection in collaboration with Porters Paints (the best paint I just love what they do). It was of course a beautiful night with Champagne and lots of interesting people talking design.
Next week is going to be a whirlwind with an invite to Government House in Brisbane for an evening with the Govenor at the Q150 Reception to celebrate Queensland Excellence in Design.
Then we have a beautiful Mothers day event that will be held at Dance North. A fabulous collaboration with the dancers to create a spectacular fussion of dance and fashion. The beautiful Michelle is choreographing a truly expressive event and I am enjoying making a few really special pieces to show. If you are able to spare the afternoon of 10th May please book a ticket thru Dance North -Champagne, Cup Cakes from Betty Blue and the Lemon Tart, scrumptious food from Michels, Fashion and truly beautiful dancing….until next time, live like you mean it, katelyn
I saw your work several years ago at Perc Tucker Gallery – it was beautiful! This evening, I was asked by a friend where to find a felt beret and I googled the Gallery and flet and up came your name and wonderful creations!
Do you make Berets? And I would love to buy a red flower for my winter coat??
Do yo have a boutique in Townsville? I come to Townsville every 6 weeks.
You are in June’s Conde Nast, Traveler!!
congratulations. your work is just beautiful!
I love the pink sweater featured in June’s Conde Nast magazine. It appears to be a paler, brighter pink than the one you sell online and the flowers on the shoulders are more prominent. I think it’s lovely. Do you have one for sale exactly as pictured in Conde Nast in an American size 4-6?
Thank you, Laika
Hi Katelyn, *love* your designs! I am a photographer who would like to do some work with you, please contact me as the “contactKatelyn” link on the web page is broken.
Wow Katelyn. Your work is stunningly refreshing to say the least. Looking forward to seeing more of your pieces.
Just wondering if I’m able to purchase items from somewhere in Townsville?
