Ellie Curtis – Illustrations and Textile Prints

Here are some new cushions which I’ve recently made up. If you’re interested in purchasing any, I’m posting some up on my Etsy shop today (EllieCurtisDesigns or go to my shop link to it). Or you can enquire about them by emailing me, as they’re not all up on the Etsy shop yet. Some are linen and some are made of cotton-drill.

I have recently started a business friendship with this great new shop ‘The Shop Floor Project’ whose online shop has been going for sometime now, but they have only recently opened their bricks and mortar shop in Cumbria.
As well as here through my site, it’s another place where you can buy my fabrics and cushions, and among other things they have some wonderful wallpapers,ceramics, jewellery, kitchen pieces and prints by other designers. Do have a look..

A new design screenprinted onto a sandy yellow linen, for interior fabrics. I made the design on a residency in Andalucia last September, after meeting several preying mantises around the house there, and in the kitchen. They’re extremely exotic to my English eyes and I became obsessed with them.. I filmed one ravenously scoffing an ant. This design focuses on the guilt a preying mantis might feel after a lifetime of freaking out beetles and other smaller folk. The moth is a sort of priest type figure they confess to.

Here’s a new printed textile piece I’ve recently made, intended for fabrics for interiors. It’s full of actors doing animal impersonations on a farm, and the animals don’t quite understand.
