This one proved a lot more difficult than I first thought the background was very layered up which just looked to harsh when stitched so in the end I’ve left it a lot plainer and more like the old wotsit packaging from a few years ago

Clare really liked it and I hope her friend does too!

Custom order for the lovely Kathryn who I met at The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.

I never even knew what Scampi Fries were when she asked but they are surprisingly rather tasty to eat and to stitch!

I usually use reverse applique and applique techniques to do my work but I’m trying to do more stitching elements, so with this piece I’ve stitched all of it bar the background blue colour and I I really like how it’s turned out! It obviously takes more time but I really enjoyed doing it this way for a change.

I really like this one and how it’s going. It’s been on my to do list for months so I’m finally getting round to it.  I think this may be a postcard in the near future too.
You can see my work in the window of Nagziz for the Wirksworth Arts Festival have a look at the website for more details

Daim bars always remind me of Ikea and it would seem no other shop sells them this was a difficult one to find to have a look at!
