Hello, my name is Lucinda Lucker and I am the owner of Petal Lu, I am a wife to John and mum to Sebastian, Josephine and Benjamin and together we run our village Pub/Resturant, in Bristol.
I have crafted since I was a child, mainly sewing, tapestry and knitting. I started paper crafting 7 years ago and my flowers hit the market mid 2012 since then they have gone from strength to strength, releasing new colours and constantly working on new designs.
All the flowers you see, are hand made by myself and I love every minute of making them.

Rock girl at heart so there is a lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Foo Flighters but I can go into classical mode just depend on my mood, I love catching up with american tv dramas while crafting and that means hubby doesn’t have to suffer them :D

What do you snack on while crafting?
Nothing much other than a cappuccino


What is your Favorited colour  combination to use on your cards?
Don’t really have a fav combo I just love colour

Do you distress everything,not at all or somewhere in between?
I’m a inbetweeni

What is you favorite thing in your scrappy space.
My Pug handbag with reindeer antlers, it was a Chrimbo present from my folks as I’m not allowed a real one and my original Gorjuss Girl drawing, Suzanne and my wonderful hubby conspired together to surprise me for my birthday a few years ago :D 



   What is your favorite tool in your srappy space?
My Cuttlebug, well it was till I killed it during the week 

What type of adhesive do you use?
At the moment i love the Scotch tape glider and Pinflair it’s the best

About how many projects do you create in a month?
A lot maybe 40+ demending on how many Docrafts demos and many shop orders I have.

When is the best time for you to create?
At night but my craft room is at my craft shop so I have to create during the day so 11-5 is when I get to play :D

At the moment we are focussing on providing miniature flowers made from genuine mulberry paper for crafts use - although we have a small selection of non -paper crafts too. Why mulberry paper? Because they are robust, realistic looking and last longer than ordinary paper and it provides a sustainable income for people in the cottage industry.
