Fabric Art Necklace

Triple strands of beautiful knotted and beaded fabric embellished with tiny handmade fabric flowers-an amazing statement piece which works equally as well with a classic smart outfit or a hippy/boho style-depending on your mood! This design measures (approx) 36" at the longest strand. The layered strands are attached and neatly bound at the back of the neck so the piece stays in place and does not twist or tangle-really is stunning when worn! Available for sale HERE!

New fabrics in store now!

I have been making the most of the wonderful sunny weather in Cornwall this week and got lots and lots of fabulous newly dyed fabrics to play with. My hands will,of course,be an odd shade of orangey pink for several days to come yet, but it was definitely worth it! Check out new fabric packs in my store now CLICK HERE TO VISIT!

And More Feathery Stuff...

This was a print made using my hand cut stamp and embellished with wax and paints. I love the effect of these bold black prints over painted papers... This is wonderful packing muslin that I have been saving for a special project,it has travelled all the way from India ( thank you Vicki-Sue) and was a perfect support for printing some funky feather designs on over the lovely stamps and scribbles-it also still smells slightly of nag champa-lush! Here we go... ( free tip-nail polish is a terrible idea with acrylic-I do use gloves at times, but often forget,so now have nails in luscious pink with lumpy purple and black splotches-suffering for my art perhaps?!) THIS I am really starting to really like! I feel new pieces of art blossoming in my mind already! Some new things to share with you tomorrow-lots happening here!

Dyeing results....

Just sharing a few of my results here....my hands remain a stubborn pattern of blues and pinks 3 days later,and I had to cut off all my nails, as they took up the various dyes beautifully!!- but it IS worth it and I now have some scrummy hot shades to work on this autumn. NOTHING I have ever used is more vibrant than acid dyes on silk fibers-is it just me that gets so excited to see the results I burn my fingers getting them out of the microwave too fast?! Can't wait to get working on these...and hope to have enough completed by the end of the week to enable me to offer some prime selections as inspiration packs in my store-watch this space!

The Lady Amber

I just had to share this work with you-she is a commissioned work,so not available, but was just completed this week and I almost wish now I could keep her with me a little longer! This is The Lady Amber. A fiber art doll,one of a kind around 13" tall in her (permanent) seated position. Textile work is a long and often fiddly process and I have had to put her aside at times to create other things,so the journey has been a couple of months from start to end, but I am pleased with the result! Further 'in progress' shots can be seen HERE if you would like a more detailed view of her journey!

Here are some samples of our collaberations so far....
