*MEET OUR MAKERS*
I’m Marie from Lilac Dog Crafts and Gifts. I started my pyrography, Iris Folding & Paper quilling journey’s in the first Covid Lock Down. Having always enjoyed painting & drawing, I wanted to challenge myself by learning new crafts. In the beginning it was for my mental health, as crafting helps quiet & focus my mind but very soon I was being asked by people to create items & gifts for them. The name of Lilac Dog comes from one of my own dogs, who is always near by when I am working on my pieces, as he is naturally lilac in colour. I love working with wood, it is very tactile & so I try to incorporate it into my work whenever I can. If you like an item but would like it to be personalised for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, please just ask & I can work with you to create your own unique piece/gift.
