Hello! Welcome to Dearest Jackdaw, a small independent business run by myself, Louise Knight-Richardson - Artist, Photographer and Maker from the South Coast of England. I take photographs of all sorts of pretty things. I like to rummage for treasure and rescue forgotten textiles. I collect buttons, vintage cameras and lace. I sew lots of little bits and pieces and own an antique mannequin called Kitty. I set up Dearest Jackdaw as a hub for all my creative endeavours. I wanted reach out to people and share my knowledge, creations and inspire others to try new things, so I write a blog which contains craft tutorials and arts and craft features, amongst various other ramblings. Since I started writing my blog I have also set up two small online stores.
