Description

I love spotting butterflies and moths, they have the most amazing patterns and names! My embroidered butterfly and moth brooches are made almost completely of thread: I ‘draw’ onto water-soluble fabric with my sewing machine, creating an interlocking network of thousands of stitches, choosing my colours to best capture the spirit of the subject. The fabric is then washed away leaving a delicate looking but surprisingly tough thread moth. I add wire and bead antennae and a brooch back to complete my piece. Each piece I make is unique and created with care and love. This brooch measures around 10 x 6 cm.

I love sitting in the garden with a cup of tea watching the butterflies and moths flutter around the flowers. They look so fragile and delicate and yet can withstand our great British weather and all the other challenges life throws at them. I love their patterns and colours, sometimes subtle, sometimes bold but always beautiful!
