So honoured to be able to make a new artwork as a form of resistance to be included in FAULTLINES - GAZA 355 upcoming exhibition organised by

The Exhibition will include 355 pieces of creative work, featuring written word, poetry, art as creative, positive acts of resistance for the 355 bullets that k1lled 6 year old Hind Rajab in G4za. The work will be sold to raise funds for G4za and I hope my beautiful P4lestine Sunbird will help to contribute to this incredible fundraiser.

The exhibition is set to take place around 23rd November in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.

I enjoyed being alone with my thoughts while making my collage artwork on Sunday afternoon. The beauty of this P4lestine Sunbird made me reflect on all the beautiful kids in G4za Iโ€™ve seen shared on social media this past year, their beautiful smiles. They are loving, beautiful and warm people and I hope this artwork reflects that โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿป

Little throwback to my stall set up at East Point Pavilion Spring Makers Market in Lowestoft last month. Such a beautiful building and backdrop of the blue sea and sky, filled with light. Always a pleasure to spend time there.

The Little Swift Story

>>> Hello and welcome to Little Swift!

Designing and creating things makes me happy!

Little Swift is the place to find unique, colourful, folk & Scandi inspired accessories. Each accessory piece is lovingly designed and handmade by myself in my little studio space in Suffolk, England.

My background is in woven textile design and I have always been fascinated by fabrics and materials, embellishment, decoration, colour and pattern. I'm also a thrifter and love all things vintage, worn, kitsch, folk and scandi. I liken myself to a bower bird who enjoys collecting unloved treasures. I use reclaimed fabrics, leather and textiles, along with vintage buttons, embroidery thread found in charity shops and second hand stores.
