This is one of the many stunning views in Orkney - Skaill beach. I love the colours of the landscape and the very first leaflet I designed for the business showed my cushions sitting in the marram grass with the sea and blue sky in the background. Since then it’s become one of my favourite spots for product photography - although one does get the odd strange look from people walking their dogs on the beach, as I arrange cushions on the beach and photo them!
I’ve photographed some of my current cushion collection there this summer so I’ll have to get some images uploaded soon to share with you.
In amongst the marram grass there are also some rather impressive umbellifers which inspired my “umbels” design.
I love the sound of the word marram and so many of my designs are inspired by plants, flower and the landscape so it seems like a good fit. Hopefully this goes some way to help explain the new name and so far it seems to have got the thumbs up from most people I know and do business with.
