Unveiling "357 stitches, 1 needle, 1 knot"

Okay so here it is, a brand new piece for Designer Crafts at the Mall 2011. I'm really pleased with it; the flow of each image into the next is so smooth and seemingly effortless- how deceptive! (Click on the images for a closer view)

Those of you familiar with my work will know my trademark as a gold-eye crewel needle "left" in the work; a trace of the maker's hand. Well, I was thrilled a few weeks ago to discover real gold-plated needles. They look incredibly precious and really gleam from the crisp white background. This is the first piece in which I have included one, no doubt the first of many.

"357 stitches, 1 needle, 1 knot"

106x48cm framed (matt black box frame) £600

Available to buy at Designer Crafts at the Mall 8-16th Jan (for full details please see post below). If you are interested in this piece or any other on the site, please leave a comment or send me an email.

Designer Crafts at the Mall 2011 JANUARY 8-16th

Designer Crafts at the Mall 21st Anniversary Exhibition is fast approaching (4 weeks until set-up)

All my work is finished and ready to go, the hard bit will be deciding which pieces to leave out! The show is open Sat 8th-Sun 16th Jan at the Mall Galleries, London. I will be stewarding on Sat 15th and hope to be there most days, so do come and say hello. To see the flyer and for full details, please click here.

In other news, work is progressing with my new website which will be available in the not too distant future here:
