Machine Embroidery over a photo

I love to spend time down in Budleigh Salterton in East Devon, there are some amazing walks following either the coast or the River Otter. On my last visit I was inspired to take another photo of the point where the river meets the sea, with the amazing tree skyline reflected in the incoming tide. I have taken this same photo many times over the year, but this time I had a plan!

I printed the photo out on specialist paper and transferred it to fabric. I then stitched with my sewing machine (leaving some areas of the photo untouched), over stitching with space dyed silks and yarns to add colour and depth


To create the feeling of the sun reflecting on the rippling water I stitched a few threads of angelina fibres to create a slight sparkle.

The picture itself is A4 in size.

These are the latest necklaces I have been making. Made from microscope slides with vintage text and embellishments embedded between the slides.


As you can see, they are double sided

The amount of detail you can include is amazing, its just that everything is in minature, so quite a detailed yet still quite dainty.

I hope you like them and please leave comments should you wish

This is one of my coasters, I applied gesso to the base and stamped a background, distressing the edges and adding a touch of colour and subtle glitter. I added a vintage piece of script stamped with a bumble bee design, finishing off with 2 coats yacht varnish to ensure a strong protective coat.

A light pink tweed cushion cover with union jack in varying shades of pink, from country style fabrics with pretty english flowers design, gingham and a slightly sexy touch with a bit of blushing pink lace-perfect to adorn your favourite seat.
