Handmade Books & Textile Items
“I come from a background in weaving and printing, and I love playing with colours and designs. I enjoy exploring different techniques and materials that catch my eye. My work includes a mix of textiles, prints, and carefully made items, showcasing my ability to work with different styles and my attention to details.
I’m especially interested in the art of making handmade books, working with vintage (and some contemporary) fabrics, and the intricate work involved in slow stitch embroidery. These interests blend traditional and modern methods together in my work.
My goal is to create a collection that not only showcases my diverse skills, but also has a sophisticated and appealing style.”
Books
Handcrafted Leather and Case Bound Books blend traditional craftsmanship with artistic flair. Genuine leather, marble-effect linings, and decorative bindings create elegant and unique, functional treasures.
Textile Purses
Each of my embroidered textile purses are unique, blending intricate craftsmanship with nostalgia. Delicate hand-stitched embellishments on, mostly, vintage fabrics, combining fashion, history, and practicality.
GREETING CARDS
Handmade greeting cards, adorned with delicate stitching and fabric touches, offer a personalised touch to heartfelt messages. These unique cards are miniature works of art, creating cherished keepsakes.
TEXTILE COLLAGE
My vibrant embroideries blend precision and creativity, transforming threads into contemporary visual narratives. Bursting with colour and detail, each piece reflects timeless skills rendered in a contemporary context.
