Shields Gazette - Monday December 9th 2013 'In Dreams' Exhibition article

Rather proud to be part of this...here is a photograph of the article in the paper.

There is also a video and article online on the papers website.

As you can see, a few images of me and my work are printed.

Customs House...Go and have a look at the 'In Dreams' exhibition! Some samples of my work.....

Have a look at the new exhibition at The Customs House, really worth a viewing...


My work is displayed there; along with a few other artists........

Here's a few images...taken just before and on opening night; 30th November 2013

Views of only my own work.

Second image down, is of my grandma, next to the doll in the cabinet that I made, inspired by her.

Personal Work - Drawing to Stitch.......Contented Faces

Thought I would add a little on my current work.

Starting to deal with personal photograph's I have taken, and drawing my version.  This is then turned into a stitch piece.

Shown below; from drawing to machined stitch piece......

This piece was sewn while on the Artist's in Action stand at Harrogate last month.....

 It was based on a photograph, taken after a meal at Jamie Oliver's Italian in Edinburgh....thus the name:  Contented Faces

 

The middle photograph is the stitch piece.

 

Simply done using the Free Machine Foot on my Sewing Machine.
