Formerly 'Buttons, Beads and Blanket Stitch'.
My work predominantly comprises hand cut and burnished lino prints, with sewing playing an occasional part.
Whether working in print or in stitch, I am inspired by the natural world and the people around me, with words/text frequently playing an integral part.
* I endeavour to represent my pieces as clearly and with colours as true to life as possible, however some slight variations in tone between the image on screen and the piece itself may occur.*
The plants in our garden are a year-round inspiration, with ‘Glad all Over’ very simply a celebration of the joyful, bold gladioli.
This print would raise a smile as a thoughtful 'well done' gift or as a well deserved treat for your own wall and as an aside, how lovely to think that you would be one of just 10 people to own one of this particular purple edition!

Full description
My ‘Glad all Over’ prints are inspired by the stunning gladioli flowering in our garden this year. They make a most striking addition and of course, the perfect subject matter for a bold, joyful print.
Having made a number of sketches and deciding on a simple strong representation of both the blooms and text, I transferred the final image onto a traditional hessian backed lino which I then hand cut and burnished in a purple ink onto a beautiful natural ‘Lokta’, a stunning handmade Nepalese paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.
The printed image measures approx. 20cm x 30cm with the paper measuring 26cm x 39cm approx.
Each of this small edition of 10 prints is numbered, titled and signed and having been printed by hand, slight variations from print to print will occur; such is the beauty of a unique, hand crafted piece.
Your print will be posted to you wrapped in tissue and rolled within a cardboard tube. On its arrival, remove the print from the tube and allow it time to unfurl. (Lying the print on a flat surface under a heavy book may help to speed up the flattening process – do not be tempted to roll the print in the opposite way as this will almost certainly result in creasing and possibly damaging the print).
Please note that the listing is for the print only; the wooden hanger in the photographs is used purely for display purposes.
