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 .

Design for Embroidery.

 











We've been doing a little design work in class so these sheets created a while ago came out.

It's such a good creative exercise to examine pieces like this.

They reinspire and spark new ideas regardless of your current project.

Techniques used here are transferable 

Colour, theme and pattern may differ but presentation technique can be used again and again.
