Tuesday's Designer - Erin Flett Designs for the Stylish Soul

When I first saw Aria, Erin’s sunflower pillow cover, I knew that I wanted to feature her work on Tuesday’s Designer. Erin is a surface textile designer working in silk screen.

Surface textile design encompasses a variety of processes. Over the next several months Tuesday’s Designer will feature an artist/craftsperson working in one area of surface textile design followed by a blog later in the week with information on that same process.
Now, on to Erin and her work.


This is WIND. This is a 20" pillow inspired by the fierce coastal winds here in Maine in BAHAMA BLUE--every imperfection is hand drawn and created by me. Erin Flett
Erin Flett is about bold, imperfect and organic shapes and elements that are collaged together for her unique hand drawn eclectic style.
Erin is a wife, and a mother of two little girls with a passion for funky vintage finds and living and breathing design. She is a prolific graphic / surface and textile designer living and working out of her studio in Maine.

This is ARIA, a 20" pillow inspired by Kansas sunflowers.
 "I am a Kansas University Graduate--BFA Graphic Design." Erin Flett
"I love the worn look and feel of vintage finds and I wanted these pillows to have a hand drawn and human look and feel to them."

Erin sells and licenses her designs and custom prints for local and national manufactures. She specializes in brand development and custom patterns for interior designers. For the past five years she has also run a successful graphic design studio "studio e flett design," working on everything from annual reports, packaging, collateral, and web design for a wide range of clients. Erin has won numerous design awards and published in a variety of design books featuring her distinctive hand.

This is STACKED DECO. A Rainy Day Gray 20" x 20" bold, and graphic slip cover inspired by a collection of found vintage art deco elements from many flea market excursions...all rough edges are hand crafted creating a worn look and feel. Erin Flett
"I hand screen on vintage reproduction bark cloth in my Maine studio with water based inks that have a soft hand. Each pillow back has a envelope closure for easy access and a hand screened muslin tag reading - Erin Flett, designs for the stylish soul. Every print is signed with "erin" in the lower right hand corner. "

This is BUNNY BOO.
A pink 9" light weight wooden framed bark cloth print. This was designed for my little bunny who is three. Super sweet and fun to mix and match. Erin Flett

Erin believes "that great design comes from the soul and translates into opportunity. If one believes and stays true to ones self and personal style and craft, doors open, and people respond because what is created is heart felt and human."

Erin's ultimate goal is to create her own line of home textiles, accessories and paper goods that reflect these beliefs and style. She wants to keep producing hand crafted designs that are distinctive, driven by passion that people gravitate towards because they connect, are relevant and make people feel good.

Facebook, Friends, Family, Business Pages, Groups

Lots of blah, blah, wee going on about FaceBook and 25 friends, business pages no longer the be all end all, and having more meaningful interactions with family, friends and in groups. Some folks are in an uproar (some folks are always in an uproar, or so it seems). "Our relationship is in trouble." Here it comes. If you are family or a close friend and the only way you maintain contact with me is through FB, our relationship is in trouble. We are both aware of this. "My feed algorithm feels like FB tracks the posts I respond to" I’ve never counted the number of people I see posts from. My feed algorithm feels like FB tracks the posts I respond to and shows me posts with similar subject matter from a number of different folks. Some whose posts I comment on, on a regular basis, others I don’t have any idea who they are, but I usually find their posts interesting and I’m glad to read them. "FB is a public platform" I have always sel...

The Dye Garden

Image
The idea of the dye garden is very simple. Request dye plant seeds from me, or buy your own and begin your garden. Doesn't matter whether you have an acre, a small backyard, a window sill or a balcony. See below for links on how to get your seeds started. I've ordered indigo seeds from Botanical Colors (Madam Magyar), Blue Light Junction (grown in Baltimore, MD) and Ossabaw Island, GA (Mayan Blue). Soon indigo seeds should be arriving from my friend Kiri in Brazil.   In addition to the indigo seeds, I also have weld, woad, coreopsis, black hopi sunflower and madder seeds.  This seed variety will produce a full spectrum of colors. Primary colors when used individually in a dyebath, and a host of secondary and tertiary colors when combined. If you live in the Stockton area, email me (y.sabur@gmail.com)  and we can arrange a time and place for a safe pickup.
