hello! i’m Catherine a 29 y/o hand embroidery artist based in Birmingham, UK. Here’s a little bit about me and my small biz ‘Artisan Cat’ 🪡🧵

#embroidery #art #artist

White woman with vibrant ginger hair, wearing dark green glasses and a light blue-purple hoodie. She is sat down leaning an elbow on a table with her hand under her chin. She’s looking and smiling at an unfinished hand embroidery piece featuring a floral bouquet of pink and cream flowers with dark and light green leaves. The embroidery is in a wooden hoop secured in a wooden embroidery hoop stand on the table. There is text in the top left saying ‘hello, I’m Catherine, a hand embroidery artist’.

Two cutout photos of hand embroidered hoop art. A large one on the left, featuring a snail design with a mushroom and greenery with lettering that says ‘embrace a snail’s pace’. It is displayed on a mini wooden easel. A smaller hoop in the bottom right, being held by a white hand, featuring a cute happy brown bear wearing green shorts and a leaf crown, holding a basket of greenery. Yellow and cream text surrounding both hoops says ‘my inspiration: nature is my main inspiration, from flora and fauna to outer space! I’m also inspired by colour schemes, textures & stitch techniques’. The background features a darkened photo of daisies and greenery so the text stands out.

Two cutout photos of hand embroidered hoop art. A personalised wedding hoop on the left, featuring a floral wreath design with purple flowers and greenery with lettering that says ‘Maria & Luke 01/04/23’. Another hoop on the right, held by an embroidery stand, featuring a colourful array of shapes and lines showcasing a variety of textured hand embroidery stitches. Yellow and cream text surrounding both hoops says ‘Faves to make: Personalised Embroidery, it's so fulfilling to make something special that will be cherished forever. Patterns & Stitch Guides, I love to help people start & continue their own embroidery journey. There are two curved yellow arrows pointing from the text to the hoops. The background features a darkened photo of the same personalised wedding hoop, as previously described, at a different angle with a botanical book, magnifying glass and twig in front of it.

Showing 3 screenshots of customer reviews for my hand embroidery. Yellow heading at the top says ‘CUSTOMER REVIEWS:” with cream text underneath “I’ve had the pleasure of receiving some amazing reviews that motivate me to keep going...”. Each review shows 5 stars, black text on a white background. The first one says “Catherine is an absolute gem and her work is flawless! She worked with me on adjusting a design to fit my vision and created a truly beautiful piece that is so loved. I would recommend her artistry to anyone browsing Etsy as she clearly puts attention and love into her pieces, and very much cares about your satisfaction. I will certainly be ordering from her again - I wish I could give ten stars! Thank you so much, Catherine!” The second says “Thank you, ArtisanCat! The custom embroidery I received was beautifully done and the package arrived right on time. It was the perfect gift.” And the third final review says “Directions are clear, thorough, and informative. Even if you have no or little experience with embroidery, you can make this adorable item.” Followed by more cream text at the bottom “to know that my art makes people happy means the world to me”

Woman holding a detailed hand embroidered floral wedding bouquet, featuring yellow Sunflowers, cream roses and eucalyptus green foliage, in a wooden hoop frame in front of her face. The embroidery is in focus but the woman is not. She is wearing a green dress, has ginger hair and the background is a green wall.

in its hoop, as a frame, and display it on a mini wooden easel or hang it on a wall 😊

Thank you! ☺️ I’m not sure how long it took. I started it months ago and took a long break before starting again recently, with a few hours a day for about 2 weeks. I intend to make custom bouquets in future so this is one of my example pieces to showcase what I can do. I’ll probably keep this one…

Thank you so much! 🥹 The embroidery stand is called ‘Siesta Sonata’ and it might’ve been from Amazon but I’m not sure as it was a gift

Thank you so much for noticing the photo as well, I’m so happy with the lighting! The reason I made this bouquet was to showcase what I can do in order to offer custom bouquets for wedding keepsakes in future, so I’m glad you thought that! 🥰
