Item details
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.*
I love autumn and all of the beautiful colours it brings. This print was inspired by the stunning pinks of the Virginia Creeper growing around our porch which every year is more striking than before.

Full description
With reference photographs taken, sketches made and the layout and text decided upon, I transferred my design onto a traditional hessian backed lino, which I then hand cut and burnished onto a gorgeous handmade Nepalese paper. The inconsistencies from paper to paper in terms of texture, thickness etc are a big part of the charm of this beautiful surface.
The paper measures approx. 25cm x 37cm with the printed image itself measuring approx. 20cm x 30cm.
Each of this small edition of just 10 is printed in a lovely vibrant deep pink oil-based ink, mixed to echo the colour of the creeper as closely as possible. Each print 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).
