"Self Portait."
Hand embroidery
A self reflection, a delicate dance between the character of artist & personal psyche, created through introspection & creativity. A self-image served as a release, akin to experiencing an emotional catharsis.

"Faux Or."
Sparkly hand embroidery pieces don't show up that well in photos but in "real life" they can catch the light & draw attention.
This is my little nod towards a "Goldwork" technique without actually using any gold. 😊

I so enjoyed doing my Art Nouveaux Bird hand embroidery. I thought I'd make it one of a pair 😊
You're probably getting sick of seeing my one/day posts, but I'm hoping to reach my target of 40 before Christmas!

"Art Nouveaux"
I love Art Nouveaux & the later Art Deco. One objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the traditional distinction between fine arts and applied arts.

"Unicorn."
I really don't know why I love unicorns. Maybe it's because they symbolise the possibility of magic in the world.
One of my best memories was building a stable in our garden for my eldest daughter's herd of unicorns when she was young.

I love doing Celtic Knotwork embroidery. I think it's the combination of intricacy, geometry & perplexity. There are also the cultural & ancestral aspects. It provides me with a heady mixture of familiarity & therapy.

Owain Glyndŵr
I often wonder what's in a name. As a kid, I asked my mum why I was called Owen, she said she wanted a Welsh name like her father.
I embraced it after learning about Owain Glyndŵr, being named after a Welsh hero is cool.

"Turkish Delight."
There's a big old story that goes along with this & not enough space to post it here on Bluesky.
The short version is this is a piece based on some woven fabric I bought in Istambul 35 years ago.
