Woodland Collection
Based on my love of the colours and textures of nature.
A series of hand embroidered panels, each mounted on fabric oven-dyed with coffee over a stretched canvas measuring 300mm x 230mmm.
Some of the items are for sale and are ready to hang on picture pins or by adding a small mirror plate or screw. Please contact me if you are interested.
