A riot of colour. . I am trying very hard to be more disciplined with keeping notes of the colour of the threads that I use in my work. I have over 300 reels and use to identify them in my sketch book by their numbers. Obviously, this causes quite a headache when trying to refer back to colours used. Now I have my very old tin of pencil crayons - possibly 42 years old, and by each thread number, I make a little coloured sketch. #inscribecolouringpencils #madeirathreads #sketchbook #drawingwiththread #freemachineembroidery #textileart #textileartist #comtemporarystitch @madeirauk

There are days when my work gives me time to breathe and momentarily lift myself away from an anxious state of mind. This afternoon my dads gaze is looking up at me as I bring him to life under my sewing machine. #arttherapy #emotionalart #textileart #freemachineembroidery #dad #powerfulartwork #textileartist #artandgrief #artandloss #goodgrief

Dad. It has been a long time since I finished my last drawing - nearly 18 months. During this time we have had made some major changes to our home and created a new studio space. However, there has also been some more some sadness because we lost my dad to cancer. This could have been a complicated time because we had had our difficulties after Carl died, but in those last few months our relationship flourished again as we filled some difficult times with lots of love and laughter. During the last few weeks I asked my dad if I could take a photo of him. He smiled, looked up at my boys and allowed me to I capture a gentle image full of beauty and emotion. I told him that he would be my next piece of work, He smiled again. #emotionalart #drawingwiththread #family #thepoweroflove #artandgrief #artandloss #contemporarystitch #textileart #textileartist #sketchbook #pallette

In November I came third in the #handandlockprize for textiles. A Couple on the Tube took about 2 years to make and really pushed my ability to draw with thread. The final work aimed to fool the senses by stitching many different textures in thread. Here I am making the final marks on the old leather strap of the lady’s bag. #handandlock #acoupleonthetube #freemachineembroidery #textileart #stitchedart #contemporarystitch #embroideryartist @handandlock_theprize
