About The Artful Otter

The Artful Otter

Oodles of thoughtfulness goes into creating fantastic fabric creations, personalised pictures and amazing handmade jewellery.

Hi, I’m Nicola and I’m a serial crafter. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember as my Mum taught me how to sew. I’ve always loved the process of turning fabric into something useful and aesthetically pleasing. I also construct unique and quirky jewellery which people want to wear.

A few years back, I completed a free motion embroidery course and discovered that I could draw better with a sewing machine than I could with a pencil!

Fabric is great to work with as it comes in so many colours and textures. I have collected a huge stash of fabric over the years and there's nothing I enjoy more than having a good rumage when deciding what to make next!

I love depicting my imagination within my artwork to create bespoke pieces. In my free time I enjoy kitchen dancing and learning to read Tarot cards. I'm currently open for commissions. Please contact me to share your commission request and to learn more about my art process.

Oh yes, I really like dragonflies!
