About RAINBOW ANTELOPE

RAINBOW ANTELOPE

Handmade Paper, bowls and journals Inspired by the colours and textures of the natural world.

The name "Rainbow Antelope" comes from the funky little herd of retro, wooden animals I rescued, repaired and painted, several years ago, when I ran a vintage market stall.
I have always been interested in design and making things. From learning to sew when I was a child, to starting my working life as a Kitchen and Bathroom Designer in the 80s and branching out over my working life into other creative fields.
I love finding unloved and damaged wooden objects and breathing new life into them. I like to use recycled and reclaimed items and incorporate objects found in nature like leaves and plant materials. I’m inspired by nature and the wonderful colours around us. I'm a lover of textures and patterns especially from the 60s and 70s. I like to make handmade paper from natural and recycled materials. Paper mache is very therapeutic to work with. I create my own monoprints and include stitching into my journals and handmade cards. I paint and draw and love mixed media and textiles.
I like to create one off, unique pieces that are individual.
I have City and Guilds qualifications in Art and Design, Papercraft, Soft Furnishings and Interior Design.
I have a little cat and a nutty dog.
