As a few of you will know I have changed direction from making fabric handbags and accessories to hand embroidered collages. Over the years making 100s of the same thing has got a bit tedious and standing out in all weathers has taken its toll, so time for a change.

So now I design and make mixed-media collages that blend vintage finds with miniature treasures, each piece carefully brought to life with intricate hand embroidery.

This little heart was for a commission for a wedding, I sent out a questionnaire asking lots of questions for example What’s your favourite animal? Where did you meet? What are your pass times? Then I spend quite a lot of time finding vintage bits and pieces to arrange into a collage.

The time, detail, and dedication that go into every creation are reflected in the pricing, making these keepsakes truly special-perfect for those who seem to have everything.

I also take commissions, sending a personalised email with questions about the recipient, from their favourite chocolate bar to significant life moments. This ensures that each piece is as unique and meaningful as the person it’s made for.
