Maisie's Emporium Products
hand made, upcycled, repurposed, unique
Hand made gifts for yourself or someone else special. One-off or small batches made using vintage or upcycled materials. I create pattern by hand - Shibori resist dyeing, ecoprinting or stitching. I try not to waste fabric so finished sizes can be a bit quirky. I make up pieces using a 1960s hand-cranked sewing machine.
I really hope you will want to buy from my website but it isn't set up for in-site purchasing just yet.

New Products coming soon!
I have some gorgeous fabrics which I ecoprinted just before going off to Iceland for two months as Artist-in-Residence. Now I need to get out my vintage hand-cranked sewing machine. Purses, bags and refillable notebook covers will be landing here soon! Let me know if you have any special requests.
In the meantime, I still have some lovely ecoprinted silk scarves and a selection of greetings cards made from original ecoprints on paper - scroll down to see examples.
Spring leaves Ecoprinted scarves
Luxurious scarves individually ecoprinted. My technique transfers pigments directly from leaves onto the fabric. Spring leaves give subtle prints in delicate shades surrounded by a naturally-dyed border.

Heavy vintage linen, lined with cotton sateen.
Price: £18 inc. UK postage
Gorgeous autumnal leaves directly ecoprinted onto upcylced heavy linen fabric. I liked these prints too much to cut them up, so I have simply lined each one with upcycled pure cotton fabric.
Original Ecoprints and Cards
I have created these original prints and cards in an entirely handmade process where the colour pigments from plants are direct-contact printed straight from the leaf or flower onto paper or fabric, transferring texture and detail as well as colour. Each print is individually created and no two are the same. Each small batch of prints or cards takes about 4 days to make.
They are hand made in Oban using leaves from my own garden or responsibly foraged on my local walks.
Eco-printed on high quality paper stock.
Original Ecoprint Cards
Cards (14 x 14.5cm) have a plain white 100% recycled paper insert for your message, and are presented with a recycled Kraft paper envelope, in a compostable cellophane sleeve.
Every card is unique, the images show the typical range. Your card(s) will be randomly selected.
1 card £4.25 3 cards £10.50 inc. UK postage.
