Daniel’s imaginary realist sculptures come to life through pure exploration - no pressure, no overthinking, just letting the materials lead the way. It’s so easy to get stuck in our own heads, overanalysing every idea and every step forward. But, when we treat the process as an experiment, creativity flows freely, and that’s when the magic happens. ✨⁠
"Everything starts as an experiment, that way there isn’t any pressure, just play and exploration"

Daniel Morley, The Pale House on Folksy
Daniel’s journey into art took off after his 30th birthday when a copy of International Art magazine sparked the realisation that this was the path he was meant to follow. He spent the next few years teaching himself from traditional painting books, mastering realism for six years before breaking free from the constraints. Now, through The Pale House, he’s free to create without limits; exploring his strangest ideas, embracing the surreal, and letting his imagination run wild.⁠

Say hello to The Pale House, our featured maker for February 😍⁠
Artist Daniel uses imaginary realism to "explore a dreamlike house full of strange and beautiful things". Step into his shop and you are met with a world of imagination; an array of haunting and ethereal artworks where things aren't quite what they seem...⁠ ⁠ To learn more about Daniel and his incredible pieces of art, check out our Meet The Maker interview over on the Folksy blog.

Advice for crafters from Yuliya Miller
Starting your own craft business? 🎨⁠ ⁠ Our featured maker for January, Yuliya, has some brilliant advice to share with you. 👉🏼⁠ “Know your customer! Ask yourself, who is that person? Who will want to buy your product? Not only their age, gender and location, but their lifestyle, interests and values. That will definitely help you understand what to make, rather than trying to make everything.”

Seven Hands on Folksy
Step into Sarah’s studio, and you’re likely to be greeted byRadio 4 playing softly in the background. ⁠ ⁠ Sarah says, “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦! 𝘐 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯, 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺...𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴!”⁠ ⁠ We can’t help but agree; it looks like a truly delightful spot! 😍⁠
The creative process is an entirely immersive experience for Sarah, who often starts a piece with no real idea of how it will turn out. ⁠ ⁠ From the moment she steps into her studio, it’s like her body takes over and she’s in the zone. Peace and quiet descends leaving her to unravel the mystery of her next creation, with whatever materials she feels called to…⁠✨⁠ Felted Landscapes, Small Makeup Bag, Peace And Quiet, Small Makeup, Tree Silhouette, Bag Makeup, Zipped Bag, Mobile Phone Bag, Color Tag
