I’m an artist and crafter with more hobbies than space! Currently in an all-consuming hand embroidery era. 🧵🪡 Also - polymer clay, fibre art, mixed media, digital art.

4 hours of work and my watermelon has begun! Looking forward to putting the dark stripes in! 🥳 #watermelon #art #handembroidery #embroidery #fruit #healthyliving #artlovers #needlework

I simply cannot finish one piece before I move onto the next! 🤣 I plan to have loads of completed fruit by June though. #handembroidery #embroidery #fruit #fruitlife #healthyliving #handsewn

Here’s one of my first experiments with paint, hand embroidery and beads. I’ll be making more mixed media pieces once I’ve completed my current project in a few months 😊 #fox #handembroidery #art #mixedmedia #beading #painting #naturelover #wildlife

Scrolling through some old pictures I found this clock I made during my clock making phase. I didn’t like how it turned out at the time but now I’m kind of gutted I gifted it away! 😂 I took inspiration from nature for the 3d areas then went wild with colour! #clock #mixedmedia #handmade #nature

I went through a phase of insects when I was practicing digital painting on Procreate. They were really enjoyable to make. 🦋 🐞 #insects #entomology #nature #natureart #digitalart #procreate #bugs #buglover #butterfly

My favourite project so far has been my UV reactive angler fish in a frame. This was my test to see how the thread worked under ultraviolet light. #embroidery #handembroidery #uv #ultraviolet #uvlight #needlefelting #sealife #sealifeart #coral

More repeating patterns! 💜 I made some nice little fridge magnets out of these a while ago 😊 #surfacepattern #pattern #repeatingpattern #surfacedesign #digitalart #natureart

This is a repeating pattern I started a few years ago. I really ought to finish it! I love designing surface patterns. Lots more fruit to complete before I can do any craft-switching right now though. #surfacepattern #repeatingpattern #pattern #patterndesign #digitalart #natureart #birdart

My giant pineapple is finally starting to take shape! This is a woven picot stitch. #handembroidery #embroidery #fruit #fibreart #applique #broderie

My first lemon was terrible! The second is much better - phew! 😮‍💨🍋 #3dembroidery #embroidery #lemons #fruit #handembroidery #embroideryart

Popping these leaves aside whilst I attempt a lemon. I found some great textured fabric that I’m hoping to make slightly raised lemons with to go with their embroidered slices. #embroidery #threadpainting #handembroidery #fruit #art

I started making this polymer clay necklace a few years ago but unfortunately never did finish it. I’ll have to have a rummage through my old boxes and see if I still have the components #polymerclay #jewellery #handmade #accessories #jewelry

A fun procreate drawing I did of Nikola Tesla a few years back in Procreate. ⚡️ #digitalart #tesla #nikolatesla #procreate #poster

Some leaves done. Now, time to start the banana experimentation! #threadpainting #leaves #fruit #needlepoint #embroidery #handembroidery

The leaves are growing - maybe a little more contrast needed but I must get back to fruit again soon! #handembroidery #embroidery #threadpainting #needlepoint #natureart #art

I get tired of saying this to guests so I just made a sign instead. #embroidery #lineart #handembroidery #sighthound #lurcher #dogs

A few years back I decided to have a crack at making dungeons and dragons characters from polymer clay. These took a long time but the process was fun! #polymerclay #dnd #miniatures #dungeonsanddragons

I’m putting some leaves together to go with my fruit. I’m definitely putting off making these bananas! 😅 I think I have a plan in mind for them though. #embroidery #handembroidery #nature #art #fabricart #fruit

My strawberries are growing nicely now! 😊 A bit of shading will make a big difference. I’ll be couching down the green thread to make stalks at a later date. #handembroidery #embroidery #fruit #fibreart #threadpainting

I made this octopus vase a fair few years ago now. I covered a lovely shaped second hand vase with polymer clay swirls and a hand sculpted octopus. I’d love to go back and improve on the design some day. #polymerclay #polyclay #clay #sculpture #octopus #sealife #natureart

Here’s a colourful hand embroidered mandala that I’ve yet to finish. I’m really looking forward to making more after my fruit project. 🌈 #mandala #art #embroidery #artist #fibrearts #handembroidery #colorful

One of my first embroideries was this little moth with a needle felted body. #embroidery #handembroidery #artist #needlefelting #moth #nature

Currently thread painting some cherry leaves for my fruity project. Excuse my video skills - I am a millennial! 🙈 This design has been made with 2 strands and I’m trying to avoid adding too much detail as I need to concentrate on getting all my fruit made first. #threadpainting #artist #embroidery

I must visit a real life shop soon and find out what number these symbolled bobbins are that I wound (and then forgot to write the numbers on…!!!) 🤣 This weekend I’m working on some cherry leaves. I have a very funky, fruity project on the go right now… 🍒 🍊 🍏 #embroidery #threadpainting #natureart
