Tales of adornment - The stitched bird - a journey of embroidered and painted enchantments.
I began creating textiles and painted silk to sell in 1986, after studying at weekends from the age of eleven in 1971 at Farnham Art College, where learnt many dyeing and printing processes including indigo, rust and discharge dyeing, on a Foundation course for a few years and then Cumbria College of Art & Design, then started exhibiting at Designer Craft Fairs, Trade Fairs, Galleries and Shops. I have publications in books on how to make jewellery and painted silk garments.
My brooches for the moss collection are inspired by the beautiful wild forests of Finland. Beads, goldwork or lace and vintage materials also adorn the surfaces. These jewellery embroideries are applied onto beaten brass with a verdigris patina applied.
My garments are made from crepe-de-chine silk or silk/linen, silk/cotton, silk/rayon velvet use a range of techniques: painting, screen printing, stencilling and wax resist. I mostly paint and print with procion dye which is eco friendly. The garments are then steamed, washed and dryed before sewing. Hems and sleeve edges are all hand-stitched so the garment has a nice drape.
The latest of my creations are ombre painted silk and silk/viscose velvet scrunchies. Viscose is fabric made from plants. I am introducing Oeko Tex Certified elastic made from cotton and rubber, plastic free.
My silk garments are in my new Etsy shop at the moment but I am considering having them on Folksy too: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/thestitchedbird
