Plain and Pattern range
I have been working on a new range of cashmere jumpers using digital flock but unlike my previous collection these designs can be reproduces however as the jumpers are vintage the style and colour could be slightly different. They are very luxurious and different but extremely wearable. I love the contrast between the history and vintage quality of the cashmere against the high tech digital flock prints. This range is made up of floral swirls and pattern with tonal and patterened digital flock print,Take a look and tell me what you think?
Check Out the range. 
Just before you click on this link have a look at my next range,I just could not wait to show everyone it is bright and fun by very wearable,I love it!!!!

CAD Advice and Tutoring
Just thought I would post a little picture of myself Natalie Adamson-Wain I only write this as I dont think I actually have my name on any part of my website and realised from reading a few blogs that people wanted to know who I was so this is me in black and white of course much more flattering than colour hello……..
If anyone needs any advice on CAD photoshop or Illustrator or maybe you would like an hours tutoring to answer those questions and gain help with anything that holds you back drop me a line with what you want to know,or when you want to be tutored and I will get back to you asap.
My studio which is based outside Glasgow gives me lots of inspiration for my designs. It is based in an idyllic setting surrounded by countryside and wildlife,which I love . I collect and hoard anything that inspires me from tins to ornaments,vintage clothes,fabrics,buttons you name it I have probably got it. I love to search around second hand and vintage shops but also love new modern boutiques and design. My collections are a fusion of old and new which is what inspires me.
Check out the student and graduate section for must visit shops and treasures…
My studio looks messy but I call it organized caos as I know exactly where everything is.
Another Inspirational setting for me is my house,I love to collect vintage ornaments,china old and new and have a bit of a obsession for animal ornaments,the problem is I am running out of space to put them. I love to be surrounded by things that I have collected and especially love things that are handed down through your family’s generations as they have a story behind them and are completely precious.
Well before christmas I gave you a sneaky peak at my new designs for the’nathalie range’ I have now had them printed,digitally flocked and made into cushions and here are the finished products. These can be bought in larger orders but have lovely digitally flocked peices on areas of the design.
These designs will be going onto www.velvet-boutique for sale soon
I love how these mix n match with the rest of my prints in the ‘nathalie’ range
When I design my prints they are all quite individual design ideas but all come together well as a collection and style.
I have always loved craft,and I love producing these unique cards and gift ideas. These are perfect to give as a special keepsake. They are part of the ‘nathalie boutique’ range as each design has its own charm and individuality and unique hand crafted quality.
This make your own greeting card with ‘nathalie’ print papers and printed badges is part of the ‘nathalie range’ and can be bought in larger quantities,the greetings card range will be coming soon………….
I love producing different textile design ideas that fit into both my collections as it allows me to be creative and individual but also produce designs that can be cheaper to buy and produce,I have learnt throughout my experience in the tetile industry that this is an important quality to learnt and always challenges your design abilities.
My newest collection is part of the ‘nathalie’ range. It is hand drawn and digitally printed but combines this with digital flock from my boutique collection,it adds a little bit more luxury to the designs but is still able to be re produced. These designs are placement prints and will be applied to cushions and canvas’s but watch out for the wallpaper range. This range allows the customer to order quantities of these designs but still have something very special and different. This is the new spring range to get everyone in the mood for brighter and lighter weather…
