Send a card...

Finally, my collection of embellished greeting cards is on sale on my Etsy Shop and in various shops throughout Bristol (without embellishments as well), Watershed included! I am very excited about it, it feels such an accomplishment, since the whole process took quite a while. 

Now that this business is taking off, I will be able to concentrate more on my stitching works and other fine art projects...as well as a brand new website, yuppieeee!

THE RED BALLOON

Here is a stitched representation of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and a Bristol hot air balloon floating over it...I thought I'd give this very popular and iconic image a go. 

Although the structure of the bridge may look simple enough to recreate, it actually took a long time to get right, or as closer to right as I could get it, within the constrictions of such an intricate technique used on a small surface and a fabric which weaves limit the possibilities of shapes, almost dictating the outlines of the work. Apart from that, job done!
