A talented illustrator Phoebe Eason is also a talented maker. Yes, she is the one who made the giant mushroom that accompanied me to the Fairtrade launch event. She illustrated the Onagono’s textile prints for Spring/Summer ‘08 collection (you will see very soon!) as well as some of the Shining T-shirt prints. Now, she started her online shop on etsy called ‘the Whistling Chair‘ that sells brooches, soft toys etc, each one of them has a story. Both the shop and the products very much reflect her illustrations. The Phoebe Original.
I visited her studio (a.k.a. her flat in Stoke Newington…) when she was working hard on her sewing machine. Here is the snap shot.
