This wall hanging/window screen creates beautiful shadows when exposed to light. Each segment was hand cut into the shape of a leaf or branch using leather in various different shades of green supplied by Howe. They were then machine stitched onto dark navy blue cotton organdie cloth. The piece was created during an artist residency at Howe at 36 Bourne Street for London Craft Week in 2018.

These cushions are part of Lora’s debut soft furnishings collection designed and made by herself and shown at The New Craftsmen in Mayfair, London. The work combines different shaped cushions designed using Lora’s signature mixed media embellishment style. The design includes classic English flowers such as dahlias and dandelions.

This cape was made as a response to Lora’s research into her half-Armenian heritage. Carnations and tulips are depicted through hand painted and pleated silk fabrics and single-line drawings translated into stitch with Russian braid. The piece is in the shape of a cape but is intended as a wall hanging, to reflect decorative vestments found in Armenian Orthodox churches.
