Allow me to reintroduce myself. It has been a while!
My name is Britt Bidlake, the maker/designer/entrepreneur behind Franky Rose (with copious amounts of help from my sister Holly Bidlake another post on Holl later).
I have an obsession with anything handmade; especially textiles, ceramics and of course food! Hence why I love to create, it has been a part of me, like an extra limb, ever since I was a little girl. Working with new materials is my jam! It’s an addiction and something that really gets my creative juices flowing, whether its painting, cooking, pottery, flowers, textiles and on and on and on (I have another IG account ). It is also a passionate belief of mine that EVERYONE is creative in their own way; all it takes is some practice and the right mindset.
I got into making jewellery after a long stint with post concussion syndrome. There was so much that I couldn’t do back then, but I found making things with my hands so cathartic and healing. So Britt Bidlake Studio started, followed by Franky Rose a few years later. I am so proud of how far the little business and my health have come in just a few short years.
Currently I am working on a few different things:
1. Daily 🧘♀️ meditation practice
2. Flower pressed metal clay pendants 🌸
3. Hand dyeing organic cotton tassels from locally harvested plants
4. Getting in better physical shape
5. Hand dyeing linen, for a surprise!
6. A line of Art prints, that have that “Franky Rose” feel 💗
7. Journaling . . . every damn day!! 📓
Some of my favourite things to do, aside from work are; hiking in the forest alone or with my pooch Bells, hanging with my partner , having girls weekends, days or nights, cross country skiing to "antlers", road trips, cooking for my family and friends, traveling and having those real vulnerable conversations with people I love.
If I haven’t yet met you, I hope to soon!
That’s all for now,
Britt xoxo
