Two sweet little additions for Rachel H using florals from her wedding bouquet. They’ll be gifted to the bride & grooms mums for Christmas 🎄 Love this idea!

Additional frames are always option when booking your bouquet preservations and can be custom made to fit your requirements.

Beautiful pressed bouquet preserved for the lovely Hannah.

Your excitement regarding preserving your bouquet was contagious and I loved designing this for you. Thank you for your trust and your patience 🖤💐

20/12/2024

I had so much fun pressing, reconstructing and designing this frame for Laura. Gorgeous florals for one of the nicest clients I’ve worked with.

Thank you Laura for the trust and the lovely messages that landed in my inbox throughout the process. Appreciate you🖤

We’ll be closing for the holidays from 5pm on Monday Dec 23rd, any online orders / gift vouchers need to be collected before then.

I’ll be in the studio between Christmas and New Year working on commissions, answering messages & emails etc but I wont have set hours as let’s face it, during that week all the days roll into one and nobody knows what they’re doing 😂

We fly to NYC 2nd - 9th Jan so that will be a full out of office for that week.
Taking advantage of my gorgeous husband not being on tour and having some quality well deserved time with my beautiful family while eating slices of NY pizza and sightseeing 🗽🍎

My usual working hours of weekdays 9am - 3pm & workshops resume from Jan 13th 🖤💐

13/12/2024

If you’re looking for last minutes gifts we’ve got pressed florals, lightning bolts, sun catchers, stained glass jewellery and vouchers for workshops available!

They can be posted out (last post day is Monday 16th Dec!) or collected from our studio on Bold St, Liverpool until Dec 23rd.

Bezos has got enough 💰, throw some at small businesses instead 😂😘

12/12/2024

Gift vouchers for both our workshops are available for purchase via the website or by DM.
We can send to you or straight to the recipient with a message enclosed. Last post date is Dec 16th, after that we can’t guarantee delivery before Christmas.

Collection from our Bold St studio is also available until Dec 23rd.

Spent a perfect hour and a half with Sophie at .liverpool having the Cosmic Dance treatment. I had to wait until my eye surgery was further along in the healing process to book back in so it felt like I hadn’t been for ages!

I always forget that Sophie makes her own blend of herbal teas (even though she serves them at every appointment!) and I noticed today that she’s made candles! They all smelled AMAZING so I picked some up tea & candles today as stocking fillers and I’ve ordered more for when I’m back later this month.

Highly recommend the candles, teas & treatments (vouchers available!) - they make amazing gifts & it’s a win for supporting a small businesses.

Contact .liverpool for more info 🖤

She deserves a carousel post on the grid too as she’s so pretty (& I’m very proud of making this!) 🕸️😍😂

This design is now safely with her owners and will be installed in a porch door accompanied by 6 panels that have also been created in a spiderweb style. Very excited to get photos in situ!

I’ll be taking on more commissions like this in the new year when I’ve worked my way through the wedding seasons pressed frames and we are back from our trip to New York. So if you’re interested in having your own internal window designed then get in touch.

I won’t be making this specific design again as it’s a custom order for these clients but I’m happy to work on something that suits your style and tastes.

Absolutely stunning flowers dropped off yesterday to be pressed and framed for Megan.

I’ve limited the number of bouquets I can take to press between now and Christmas so I can work my way through my current commissions. I hate to say no but it’s just me working solo around the school hours so there’s only so much I can take on.

Wedding season was BUSY which I’m VERY grateful for and I’m working my way through them in the order that they were received. It’s a slow process and can’t be rushed as I’m working with such delicate materials. I’ve seen some preservation artists give a year as the timescale, and now that I do it myself I can understand why!

Summer brides are looking at December at the earliest as I’m currently working on a giant stained glass piece and brides from earlier in the year.

Thank you! 🖤💐

Gorgeous day in the studio yesterday with some lovely students (Happy Birthday Devon!) for our Intro to stained Glass workshop.

I genuinely love running these workshops, I was a lecturer for over a decade so it gets me back into teaching mode (which I do miss, I just don’t miss all the crap that goes alongside working in a college 😂)

We always have a fab time getting stuck into glass making, chatting about all kinds and seeing students excited about what they’ve made is ace.

If you’d like to join us at a future workshop then available dates can be found on the website - link in bio

My last market was back in the spring and I haven’t booked any markets for the rest of the year, that includes any happening during the run up to Christmas.

Between the stained glass custom orders, bouquet preservation commissions and the workshops I have scheduled I just don’t have the hours it would take to prep for markets and then be on the stalls.

The online store on my website looks very bare at the moment but it will be fully stocked by the end of Oct with pieces that are available for immediate purchase along with custom options available.
Delivery or collection from our Bold St studio is always available.

If you do want to order something for a Christmas gift then please get in touch as soon as possible so I can fit your custom piece in. Gift vouchers for workshops are also available.

VERY grateful that commissions are keeping me so busy! 🖤💐

24/09/2024

Currently working on my biggest project to date!

Had a video call this afternoon with my lovely client to sign off on the colours and now it’s on to grinding each piece.

I get to use my noisy ring saw for this one too which is always fun (and slightly scary - have you seen those things?!)

My deadline for this is early Oct so this (& checking in existing presses) is the focus for the next couple of weeks.

Once it’s finished I’ll be into reconstructing & framing bouquets 💐

17/09/2024

New blog post on the website!

I’m in the process of designing a new website layout (it’s a SLOW process in between everything else 😂) so I’m trying to upload blogs more regularly. This one chats about how I feel about social media 😈

I’m on fire with the social media posts since I wrote a blog about how sh*te I am on socials 😂 Let’s see how long it lasts eh?

This is the large patchwork moon I made for a client last week. Available in custom colours via the website under the Moon category 🌙

I’ll be back in the studio from Tuesday to crack on with commissions.

Have a fab weekend 💐

Studio Day today to press this gorgeous natural bouquet for Lorna.

I’m back in the studio on my usual hours from next Wednesday when the kids are back in school - I’ve loved spending the summer with them but it’s been HARD juggling a studio move & their holidays while Mike has been touring constantly.

Big love to all the parents out there juggling work / life with school holidays! 🖤

Definitely looking forward to having my days back to myself so I can work through the last remaining boxes to unpack and my commissions 💐

🕸️She’s finally finished and is a beauty! 🕸️I’ve been working away on this commission for a pair of very lovely (& VERY patient!) clients. They approached me with an idea for a spiderweb based design & 6 panels for their interior porch door so I sketched several options and had my talented daughter @bethkweedaytattoo draw them up digitally for me (I have zero skills in that department 😂). I then had their chosen design printed to scale and set about making my very first window! I hadn’t made anything this size before and although I can honestly say I loved making it, there were times when I doubted myself (as I’m sure all us creatives do from time to time!) I hadn’t posted much publicly about the piece as I wanted to reveal it when it was finished, but I kept the client and some of my friends in the loop with the progress (words of encouragement from Mike & my pals definitely kept me going ha!) Now it’s finished and on its way to its new home! Thanks for the trust and the patience Sam & Ed 🖤So I guess I make windows now.. 😂🕸️(Includes some images by the ever amazing @ellajmcconville 🕸️🖤) #StainedGlass #GlassArt #StainedGlassArt #StainedGlassArtist #StainedGlassWindow #SpiderWeb #Gothic #StainedGlassLiverpool #StainedGlassWorkshop #BespokeArt

Our studio is based on Bold St in Liverpool but you don’t have to be a local to book in with us. We take floral preservation bookings from all over the UK! We give instructions on how to package your bouquet safely so it gets to us in good condition and we make sure that we are onsite the day of delivery so it goes straight into the presses. We are taking bookings for 2025 and have very limited availability for the rest of 2024 so if you want us to preserve your flowers before the end of this year get in touch asap! 🖤💐🌸🌺🌻#StainedGlass #GlassArt #StainedGlassArt #StainedGlassArtist #StainedGlassMoon #StainedGlassWorkshop #PressedFlowers #PressedFlorals #FlowerPreservation #StainedGlassWorkshops #Liverpool #Liverpool #MerseysideEvents #LiverpoolFlorist #FlowerPressingLiverpool #WeddingBouquetPressing

Both Mike & I are WFH today so we dropped the boys at school and kicked the day off with a walk around Greenbank & Sefton Park. It was pouring it down but that doesn’t bother us. Grabbed a couple of hot drinks from The Watering Can and off we went. Got to have that work / life balance and grab as many quiet moments with just the two of us as we can when he’s not touring. #WorkLifeBalance #SeftonPark #GreenbankPark #Walk #Liverpool

Peonies & sunshine.. Not a filter in sight - just gorgeous peonies that I bought from Chandlers and some of yesterday’s gorgeous sunshine. They’re already in the flower presses being prepped to make some beautiful pressed flower & stained glass art 🖤💐 #Wedding #WeddingFair #BouquetPreservation #OliveCanFly #FlowerPreservation #Florals #Flowers #FlowerPower #GlassFlowers #BouquetPressing #FlowerPressing #WeddingBouquetPressing #FlowerPressingLiverpool #PressedFlowers #WeddingBouquetPressing #WeddingFlowers #Florist #LiverpoolFlorist #Gardening #MyGarden
