Roll up Roll up! The Circus has come to town!

My Selvedge Magazine window display is up! So if your in London go take a peek, its in the Selvedge Magazine office/shop on 162 Archway Road, Highgate.

Also some of my hand embroidered brooches and pin cushions are being stocked inside next to lots of other wonderful bits and pieces so it is well worth a visit!

Here are a couple of images of the window for a sneak peek:

I'll put the rest up in the gallery section shortly!

I am currently in the middle of designing and making a window display for Selvedge Magazine's shop and office in Highgate. The window display will go up in January 2011 so watch this space!...

 

Whilst exhibiting at The Islington Art at Design Fair this September I was spotted by a group of ladies who turned out to be the 'East London Craft Guerillas'. They were very nice and put me on their blog along with some other photos of the people exhibiting there, worth a look....

I am excited to say that 'Loop Knitting' in Camden Passage, Islington is stocking my pin cushions! It is a wonderful shop and full of exciting crafty bits and pieces so make a visit if you're near.

Here is a small piece of my work featured in the July/ August issue of Selvedge Magazine. They spotted me at New Designers and gave me an 'Excellence in Textiles' award, which I am very excited about!

I am a illustrator/maker from Bristol. I have always been interested in traditional crafts and there is nothing I enjoy more than creating handmade items!

Colour and texture are important elements in my work, and I aim to create quirky, whimsical pieces that will put a smile on people’s faces and get their imaginations going!

My most recent collection ‘Once Upon a Time’ is inspired by European folk stories and fairytales I have created a series of 3D artworks and character brooches. By combining illustration and textile prints, I have produced scenes to evoke memories of childhood and invite the viewer into a whimsical world of magic and enchantment. I have been influenced by the present revival in handmade crafts and, for me, it is important that I keep a sense of this tradition in my work by using hand techniques such as hand cutting, drawing and stitching.

For more information please feel free to contact me. I am happy to help.
