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...

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.

CUSTOMS HOUSE 'IN DREAMS' NEW INFORMATION

PLEASE SHARE THIS

Hi there,

Just a reminder to everyone that I have an exhibition of my work, all for sale with all money going to Macmillan. It is part of the 'In Dreams' exhibition at the Customs House, South shields, in the North East of England. It runs from 30th November - 31st January 2014. I would appreciate everyone's support in promoting my work, as I am desperate to raise as much money as I can. There will be leaflets at the exhibition, stating that my work is all for sale (each piece with a separate price tag) for Macmillan. My email address will be on and phone number. All work purchased will be with collection at the end of the exhibition.

One of my pieces that you will see at the exhibition, is actually an embroidered Post Surgery Bra, from Marks and Spencer's.

All of my work is based on my own poetry and drawings and has then been converted into stitch pieces.

My mum had Breast Cancer a few years ago and a recurrence. She is fine now and I am ever thankful to have her, so this is my thank you to Macmillan who put so much care into the awful process that is having cancer.

Please help me get my work sold, by sharing this message with as many people as possible.

Thank You

Ailish

I will try and post a price list on here too.
