  Hello, my name is Viv Sliwka. My work has envolved from a lifelong obsession with collecting vintage American, French and British textiles, haberdashery and paper ephemera. 

  Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to incorporate a little of the past into my one off handmade pieces. Texture plays a big part in my work, softly worn printed fabrics, alongside hand woven linens.   Lovely!

  I design and make mixed media textile collage, accessories, needlecases and purses, finished with hand embroidery for lots more texture and colour.  You will also always find a button or two!

  All made in my garden studio in Staffordshire, UK.
