Sapphira McBride, Artist



Our friend Sapphi showed us her beautiful drawings and she gave us permission to put them on our blog. She said they were inspired by Lush Designs. We were so flattered - in many ways we think her work is superior - check out the curly whirly whiskers on this creature. Guess what - she's only 9 years old!

Coming soon!

Hot off the drawing board this vulpine family is soon to become a print which will appear on a series of new fox related products by Lush Designs. Our dear customers will be able to celebrate our favourite feral friends on a fox cushion, a fox shopping bag, a bone china fox mug and a fox tea towel.
For those who want to be informed of new products available from Lush Designs there is a mailing list you can join on our website (www.lushlampshades.co.uk)

Exquisite Body

We visited the Wellcome Collection in Euston on Sunday. We were captivated by "Exquisite Bodies", a wonderful and sometimes grotesque exhibition of anatomical models. This German ivory model of a pregnant woman is only a few inches long and perfect in every detail. The carved lace pillow is particularly wonderful. The artist couldn't resist including this detail, which is scientifically unnecessary yet lends a touching humanity to this depiction of the unfortunate cadaver.
