Scandinavian Hut

6 Beautiful Cushions - Opened the Parcel and WOW!

Absolutely stunning! I love every one of my six choices.  They are all so magical in deep rich colours and extremely good quality.  I have purchased these to decorate our newly acquired Scandinavian barbeque hut and wanted something magical and unusual which would suit the Nordic theme. The cushions I chose from your wide range included  birch trees, cold clear waters and beautiful animals that  suited the theme; they look amazing with the reindeer skins.  I feel so lucky to have found your beautiful artwork which was only by a google search of "Artic Cushions" and your beautiful Arctic Fox cushion came up in images and it was love at first sight. This led me to your website and the discovery of even more beautiful cushions. I couldn't believe my eyes, my only problem then was making my choices from so many. The good news is I find I need two more!  Thank you so much for the prompt delivery and I wish you and your team good health and success for the future in these most difficult of times. You have certainly brought me much light and happiness and I shall enjoy looking at my beautiful cushions when  relaxing in my hut. - Barbara Harrold, Tamworth, Staffordshire  23rd November 2020

Pillows

This artist's work is so stunning. My husband and I visited Scotland three years ago, and I stumbled upon a shop selling Dawn Maciocia cards. I picked up three of them. Then in a totally different part of the country, I stumbled upon some of her pillows, and picked up one of those too - having no idea that it was the same artist until later on! Every time I look at my pillow, I smile. Same with the cards (which I've framed and hung on the wall). Now I'm about to order a mug and some more pillows to bring even more smiles! Everything she makes is just so wonderful. So nice to have the talent to bring joy and happiness to a stranger's day. Thank you Dawn for your amazing products! They make a difference and are appreciated! Kristin Mihuta, USA. 07/03/20

Seconds Coasters

I have just received my order of 10 'seconds' coasters. I am absolutely thrilled with them and can't stop looking at them. I really can't see why they are seconds! I have always wanted a piece of your work and until I can afford it, I have these mini beauties to look at. Thank you so much x Christine Reynolds, 24/08/19

Tote Bag - Washes beautifully

Well I have been considering this for a while. I have a beautiful puffin tote bag and the handles were becoming very grubby. Then when a rather drunk man decided to pour his pint of beer over me and my beautiful bag, I have bitten the bullet and given it a wash.

Outcome : delighted. It has come up perfectly. I used some soap flakes and a nail brush to give it a scrub with hand warm water. No adverse effects. I can now sigh with relief.

Thank you again dawn for a beautiful bag. ❤️❤️❤️. Carol West. 09/01/20

 

Pink ostrich lampshade

I bought the beautiful pink ostrich lampshade today. It is funky and functional and will brighten up a corner of our sitting room which was looking a bit staid. I am pairing it with a lamp base which I received as a wedding present in the seventies. It is ceramic brown and pink. Looking forward to using it.  Love all the others too. Maybe I'll get the cushion at a later date. Anne Macculloch, Culbokie, Dingwall, Ross Shire. 07/03/20

The Gift Table Runner

Oh my goodness! I have just received my beautifully packaged table runner and I am so pleased. It is fabulous. The design is intricate; the colours vivid; the fabric is sumptuous and the whole piece oozes quality. It will certainly become a talking-point. The way that Dawn's talent has been transferred to fabric is just wonderful. I only hope that other fabric items are to follow or that it will become possible to purchase the fabric by the metre. Thank you so much!  Sharon Ostrowsky, Shropshire. 28/02/20

Field Mouse Original

 Just to let you know my parcel arrived safely this morning, very well packaged. Pictures look stunning on the wall , as I thought they would and Robin cushion is so cute. Have told the dogs they are not to lie on it - but I don' t think they were listening!  - M. Skinner, Tain.

The Handsome Cockerel

I would like to wholeheartedly thank the artist for creating the most beautiful cockerel collage that now has pride of place in my friend's kitchen. She and her, now husband were absolutely thrilled with this as a wedding present! Dawn could not have been more accommodating with packing and delivering the piece well within the very short time frame that allowed. Her work is nothing short of spectacular, thank you!  Lynn McCracken

Lampshade

I got the blue seal lampshade - what can I say except its just stunning. I love the fabric and it looks beautiful in my bedroom - its like stain glass with all the colours in it. Now I want little lamps as well all round the house! thanks for such a beautiful gift and arrived in great condition very quickly. Jackie M.

Lampshades

just to say we picked up the lampshades today and now have them up in our home. They are all looking terrific. I really couldn't choose a favourite as they are all so pretty. So good to have some of your art work in our home at last. I've been admiring your work ( and following you on facebook) since seeing it at the Pittenweem Festival last summer. Here's hoping it the first of many.
Best wishes Michelle

The postman has just delivered my order of coasters and I am truely delighted. The colours are so vibrant and the quality of the coaster itself is very good - thank you. I just wish I could afford the original artwork - maybe someday! Fiona Salomonson

Cushion

Dawn, I have admired your work for a long time and have purchased prints and a commission from you in the past. Having just purchased "Swallows & Swirls" Cushion as a gift for a friend, once again, I am blown away by your talent and the quality of the fabric and cushion. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending anyone to purchase any of your work. In fact, I think I may be buying a cushion or two for myself in the future. Speedy delivery and well packaged as always. Thanks again. Linda

'The Gift' Original

This morning my wife and I received the artwork that we had ordered from Dawn titled "The Gift". The package arrived in excellent condition. We are extremely pleased with the result. Dawn's work is truly amazing and the detail in the collage work is fascinating. Thank you Dawn. Malcolm Caruana, Malta  

Pictures

The collage pictures are beautifully produced. The framing is excellent. Ordering was easy and being able to email and telephone Dawn with my exact delivery requirements was very welcome. The picture arrived safely due to the excellent packaging. A web site with full contact details is becoming rare. Dawn's site has all of these available and so being able see where she is based and to telephone and speak to her to get advice was both reassuring and helpful. A first class service. Thank you. David M

Wren on Sage

It is SO, AMAZINGLY wren-like - my daughter Jenny who was named after the wren who was singing its heart out when I was in labour, is having it for Christmas! She will LOVE it! Miriam Obrey

For You Original

I fell in love with this piece of artwork. The use of colour, character of the creatures and sense of texture all resonated a chorus of happiness and uniqueness. It looks sensational in our house and has received so much warm praise and huge compliments. We're delighted with it, thank you. Vicky Francis, GRANTHAM

Foxheart Original

I was originally interested in this picture but before I could make up my mind it was sold. However Dawn kindly emailed me to say it was available again and now I am the proud owner of one of Dawn's beautiful collages. The finish and the detail are excellent and would recommend to anyone who is not sure don't hesitate. You will not be disappointed. My picture was very well wrapped and arrived promptly. Dawn kept me informed at all times by email and I was able to pay via paypal. Thank you Dawn and I will happily buy from you again. Rowena Johnston, Worthing
