Second piece of a series of hand-printed tapestries. They depict a collection of memories I had with all the wild animals drawn during a very hard period of time, where i had to be isolated in a natural environment to heal.

The bag acquired straps and closures. It’s now my favourite bag to use. The nice thing about making is you can just keep working on an item until you’re happy with it.
It’s a bag sort of a thing, with boro and sashiko. I enjoyed using bits of scrap leather, as well as fabric scraps going back many years. I like using fabric almost like papier mache - layering small pieces and “gluing” with sashiko. This is a good size for my sketchpad.
My aunt made this cushion many years ago. It’s a Lord of the Rings themed cushion. The silk had become fragile and tattered from use, so I patched and stitched it. I used a slightly shinier, iridescent stuff to patch behind the silk. You can just about make it out below.
I’m working on this piece, which is about two square foot, made from scraps. I tried warping the sashiko stitching, so it looks like a curved surface. It’s a lot of fun.
This lil fox is available in my shop now for the first Emma out there to fall in love with it! You can also make a custom order this item with the name you want :)
Goldwork garments made for the coronation of Charles X of France in 1825. The first photo shows the shoulder of a tabard worn by one of the King’s Heralds, and the other garment is the habit worn by the Dauphin, featuring goldwork on “cloth of gold.” Embroidery of this quality is an underappreciated art form, in my opinion. These are exhibited in the Tau Palace next to Reims Cathedral.
This was the last French royal coronation because the next and last king of France, Louis Philippe I, wisely opted not to have a coronation.
