Textiles
My textile pieces are very diverse and organic. I love working with texture and colour, combining stitch with other mediums. Sometimes I hand embellish needle felting, or just create a piece using free machine embroidery. I might stitch over a monoprint or directly onto paper.

There are no rules - just being brave and intuitive!
