My #topnine for 2019 according to the app and then my own personal choices if you swipe! It’s been a busy year and I have loved sharing it with you.

This piece was a commission which is now with its new owner. It was a really special one to make because it was a very thoughtful gift for a much loved Mum and Wife who also happens to be my friend. Slowly managing to whittle down my commission list so if you’re on my list ....I’m getting there!! #bluebellwood #contemporarytextileart #textileartist #stitchedartisart #embroideredtextiles #embroideryart #commission

This one has really been a struggle! Lost my mojo ( probably left it behind in Italy) and found it really hard going, working in the heat last week. I’m glad to have finally reached a point where I’m happy with this one. #owlsofinstagram #barnowl #birdsofprey #embroideredtextiles #contemporaryembroidery #textileart #womenartists #fabricandthread #highlight

So... I decided I wasn’t happy and went back to work on this one, extending the sky at the top for a better balance in the composition and extending the middle ground a bit too. I’m much happier with the result.

Getting my head back into work mode today after a very hectic June followed swiftly by a fantastic family holiday in Italy. Now back to reality and preparing for exciting things to come.
