For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

Artist book show and tell. A short video.
Two finished artist books....love the sculptural nature of these crammed little books.
I’ve loved watching that and it’s sparked so many ideas in my head. I need to get back to making something for me just because it’s pretty and enjoyable to play

Full of lovely and interesting textures!
Another treasure-filled book, each page filled with delightful little 'bits' to admire.
