A little beauty…
After some initial trepidation I can now say that I really enjoyed the challenge of making this tiny piece of textiles. Even better, my client was absolutely delighted with it. Always a relief…!

this little bookmark is coming along nicely after quite a lot of prepping. As well as demonstrating this work in progress I’m getting the chance to show off my glittery Christmas nails!
on an order for a Long Walk bookmark. Miniatures can be tricky as I’m more used to making wallhangings but I do like a challenge.
and ready to hang and I’m very pleased to say that the recipient was absolutely delighted!
Ps: and if you look very carefully you will see some added extras – tiny bees that glow when they catch the light.
After painting the background, stamping on the flower bases and adding stems it was time to sew the iridescent dandelions. It’s coming along nicely…
I was delighted to be asked to make a picture for someone who wanted to give a special gift to a special friend. The design brief was simple: a profusion of orange and purple flowers with some flyaway dandelions. Other than that I was given a free reign….
I made mini notebooks from leather swatches, remnants of lingerie elastic, sketchbook paper off-cuts and vintage buttons. There’s nothing more satisfying than giving otherwise unwanted items a new lease of life.
A new spin on my ‘cards-to-keep’ is a card and brooch combo. Rather than just attaching a handmade brooch to a piece of card I added it to a flower card giving it more of a 3D effect. This way the two-in-one card and brooch is the ideal gift-to-go.
Another two pairs of blooms are ready-to-go. As winter looms my colourways seem to be getting brighter and bolder. A sure tonic to guarantee cheeriness.
What started out as a small handful of petals has now grown into a field of blooms ready for my next project…
