I love to create pictures out of thread, and I also love then to take elements of each embroidery to make fun collages, that can then take on a new story… so here’s the latest one. All are small photo snippets taken from a variety of my bigger embroideries. Please feel free to imagine… 😉🪡🌿 🌺✨

It’s been an age I know, but after what feels like a mammoth stitching marathon, I can finally reveal my latest embroidery. I could probably sleep for a hundred years now! 😅

Sorry for my quietness, lots of big life decisions to make, and it’s all a little stressful, I may need to ask for some tips and advice soon.
Anyway here’s a side angle for you today of my embroidery, The Japanese Bridge. It’s all a bit too hot for my garden, so I shall just have to dream and soak up all the colour in my embroideries… 😉 I hope you enjoy. 🪡🌿🌺
