Hand drawn illustrations delicately transferred into etched wooden decorations for your home. Lily Faith gathers inspiration in her constant companion, her sketchbook, gleaning ideas from the hedgerow and travels beyond her native Devon. These sketchbooks are her visual reference library, that tell tales of adventure and travel to continents near and far, but also of the friends that visit the Bird Table insight of her studio. With a passion for colour and the play of pattern, scale and mark making, Lily Faith loves to create interior embellishments with humble materials.

Personal wreath orders using your own Saved and Foraged Botanical finds

Fresh from the Studio:

Shortly after this photo was taken, I decided to run up our lane after the dog and in the process smash my phone screen to many tiny pieces. Silly Lily. So instead of getting glass stuck in my fingers, I’m just going to be quiet for a little bit. Adios amigos. #crash #smash #bang #glasseverywhere
Happy Easter! It’s going to be a glorious weekend by the looks of it, what have you got planned lovely folk. Im planning a bike ride, some sofa restoration and some wreath work. All washed down with lashings of hot cross buns and tea. In other news my Blue Tit wreaths in all the springy glory are now available to purchase on line. Take a peek! #bluetit #bluetitwreath #bluetitbird #birddecoration #handpainted #engraved #papercutleaves #foraged #seedhead #wreath #wreathmaker #easterbird #lilyfaith #workshopweekend
Oooh it’s chilly, I’m hiding in the workshop with loads of layers on because I’m laser cutting and I have to have all the ventilation options open. Brrrrrr. In other news I’m waiting for the garden to feel warm enough to do all the planting and sowing I have planned. We live in a bit of a frost pocket and a mouse has already eaten the first batch of seeds I planted a few weeks ago. I don’t begrudge the mouse there isn’t much about for them at the moment, and so my manegtout seeds proved to be irresistible. I am however enjoying the great swathes of primroses in the hedgerows. There a particular fine belt of them on the M5 just south of Cullompton if you’re interested. I didn’t have ink these there! #primrose #primroses #primroseyellow #woodsorrel #anenome #milkjug #pietin #sculptureoftheday #salvagedtiles #tilepatterns #workshopday #dailyinspiration #stillifeart #stilllife #pocketofjoy
I mentioned a little while ago that I got some new stamps made, and I thought I’d show you. Today I’ve been packaging up orders and this big logo stamp is so versatile, I have a little logo stamp as well for labels, but this beauty is perfect for everything else. I got them made by @getstampeduk they were super quick and they are beautifully made and as I said in #marchmeetthemaker they plant a tree for every stamp they make. This makes me ludicrously happy. But the best bit, they print really well. Pictured here with my eco resin succulent from my new friend @badgerandbirch this is one succulent I can’t kill, hoorah! #pacakaging #printing #logo #logodesign #packingorders #ecopackaging #ecoresin #laseretched #lasercut #birdlady #birddecoration #birdlife #succulents
Take me back! It’s going to be a busy day on Castle Street I can feel it in my cold and chilly bones. Today will mostly be fuelled by tea and I’m already looking forward to my packed lunch! I’ve not been feeling the creative mojo the past week or so but I can see a glimmer of a return. What have you got planned this weekend to get you feeling brighter? We are hopefully going for a bike ride and I’m cooking Baccalau for my Ma with some Spanish Salt Cod I brought back from our most recent trip. Whatever you get up to my lovelies make a little pocket of time for you. #catalunya #catalunyanatura #naturereserve #deltebre #lampolla #ebre #birdwatching #birdlife #timeandspace #pocketofjoy #selfcare
I’ve been a bit quiet. Sometimes you need to take stock and just be for a bit. Nothing to worry about, you just can’t be bright and breezy all the time! Slowly slowly I am having a website overhaul and my turmeric hues alpacas will soon be available online. This beast was photographed back in Tortosa, when my toes were a lot warmer. #alpaca #alpacatribe #lasercut #laseretch #woodendecoration #handpainted #interiordecor #embellishments #adorn #yucca #lilyfaith #
Day 30| Support| I’m going to spam you with photos of my nearest and dearest. I have a big family and they are fantastic. I would be a very different person without them, and their love, and support. We are close, we may not talk every day or every week but we are always here for one another and without being truly vomit inducing I am very blessed. We are a tribe of characters and relationships there’s no 2:4 here but in my mind it works and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m also very lucky to have a tribe of friends near and far. There’s a fair few Lily Faith cheerleaders out there, and for that I thank you, they’re a good tribe and I’m always happy to share. #meetthemaker #makersmovement #marchmeetthemaker2019 #marchmeetthemaker #support #mytribe #supportnetwork #tribe #theclan
Day 28| Packaging | it’s been a slow process but I’ve finally got to a point where I am happy with how my products are presented. I use 100% UK recycled materials for packaging my wreaths and they come to you in Kraft boxes screen printed by myself. All of my business cards I print myself and recently got new rubber stamps made by @getstampeduk they make amazing beautiful stamps with gorgeous oak blocks and plant a tree for every stamp made. These are credentials I can get behind. I use paper tape for parcels and all labels are made from the off cuts from my business cards and literature for my bird species collection. Lily faith tries to tread lightly. #marchmeetthemaker #meettheartist #meetthemaker #makersmovement #packagingdesign #packaging #eco raftltd #ecopackaging #kraft #getstamped #stamp #screenprinting
