Finally finished my City and Guilds Level 2 and was fortunate enough to get a distinction with my final project being my large coral reef picture. It turned out to be more purple than I imagined with more of the mount showing than I wanted but I like purple so no harm done. There are many techniques used including heating lots of chiffon, Tyvek, Lutradur and 3D medium with a heat gun as well as hand stitching and beading. I have extended this work into different colours mounted on a canvas.

This delicate vibrant butterfly wing is a mesmerising embroidery with intricate detail. Working quite often from the back means, you can’t always predict what the outcome will be at the front. The fragility lays in the holes created in the stitching, giving it a feeling of decay. My work explores how to replicate natures beauty with thread, either in bloom or decayed, with textures, mismatches, colours, layers and light. 60 x 45 cm unframed 72x 72 cm Floating in round frame
