Knitted Piece-Reform Adaptation

My latest knitted piece was developed from the

recent floods, design for disaster!

the concept was based on looking how animal's adapt

to their environment and how we can adapt to our

changing environment.

The final piece help's to communicate

to a different audience.

Nature has never looked so beautiful,

Maggie Thorssell brings nature to life

in the form of hand made jewelry pieces.

A true country girl at heart maggie uses her

home as her inspiration, collecting feathers and

rounded pebbles from her own backyard.

After studying honours at Monash uni in melbourne,

then traveling the world,

Maggie is now based back in her country home

where she has set up her little studio, she even has

cute little goats,it was awesome

to see her creative space x

ReLoved Treasures

ReLoved Treasures stall at pottsville markets

ReLoved treasures is a little recycled fashion label

that is designed and made by me and my mum,

our love for lace and vintage finds in the country op shops

developed into a hobby and so ReLoved Treasures was born.

Our cupboards where full but our love for finding

treasures continued, a markets was our outcome.

old lace curtains and crocheted tables cloths are

hand made into dresses,skirts,tops and pants.

Vintage clothing is re made into stylish designs,

and we are happy to watch our treasures go to a good home.

CLOTH workshop

As part of the Sustainability festival at brunswick,

I was lucky to be part of a workshop run by

Julie Paterson, who is the designer and the artist of

cloth fabrics based in Sydney.

The day workshop involved hand cut stencils that

we screen printed onto old coffee bags

using left over paints. The screen printed designs

where then made into cushions or bags.
