Elise Barkes

Textile Artist

I am a Hampshire-based textile artist. My business Elise B Designs began with a girl who was crazy for accessories. It has become a creative journey driven by a lifelong love of sewing and a passion for beautiful fabrics and colour. After being taught how to crochet by a 96-year-old lady 10 years ago, this technique also features in my work.

I am inspired by nature and flowers, in particular. I love to use recycled fabrics, beads and buttons in my creations as much as possible. This means most of my items are totally individual pieces.
