Item details

Signed and dated one-off hand-stitched collage made from discarded papers, using my nana’s old silk thread.

David Cassidy, who died on 12th April, 2017.

15 x 21cms, unframed.

It is a one-off. Never to be reproduced.

£5 from this sale will go to Arts Emergency. This is a small London based charity aiming to ensure university doors are kept open for those most able to benefit from, but least able to pay for education.

In keeping with my eco-friendly ethos, it will arrive in a package made from used magazines and the like. I do not use single-use plastic and parcel tape.

Can be sent as a gift, with words of your choice.

To avoid fading the newsprint keep out of direct sunlight. If framing, use UV protection or museum glass.

Please be aware that if you live outside the EU you may be subject to a charge in accordance with your country's customs/duties laws. Free UK delivery.
