Hand embroidered pendant. Mullion cove, Cornwall.

The new embroidered pendant I have stitched has a design of Mullion Cove, Cornwall, England. This is one of my favourite places and I thoroughly enjoyed designing and hand embroidering this landscape pendant from a holiday photograph. I have a custom embroidery to stitch next which will be great fun.

Hand embroidery pendant. Fields and poppies.

This embroidery is a view across the fields where I live which I thoroughly enjoyed designing and hand embroidering. The pendant is an oval hoop and comes with an antique bronze plated chain. These little embroideries take several hours of stitching and I use my knowledge of painting with watercolours to create my embroideries.
           I have also had my embroidery of a Purple Emperor butterfly included in the Gallery page of the latest edition of the Embroiderers Guild magazine Stitch. This is a lovely magazine for anyone interested in embroidery.

Painting of Bearded Iris in the Artists and Illustrators magazine.

I am really delighted to have my painting of the Bearded iris Chieftain and an article about my watercolour painting included in the August issue of the magazine Artists and Illustrators.  I show my paintings on Portfolio plus which is a great way to showcase work and I would recommend it.

Hand embroidery pendant. St Bartholomew Church, Lake Konigsee, Germany.

Hi, I have completed another little embroidery. I have designed a pendant hand embroidery of St Bartholomew Church, Lake Konigsee, Germany. I have tried to capture in this little embroidery the tranquility of the  lake and the lovely reflections of the church in the water. I thoroughly enjoyed designing and hand embroidering this one of a kind pendant. I think for my next embroidery I will stitch a typical English view across fields with some poppies in the foreground.

Hand embroidery pendant, roses round a cottage window.

I went to Sissinghurst gardens a couple of weeks ago and the weather was lovely. The gardens at Sissinghurst are fantastic and gave me the inspiration to embroider a view of a cottage window surrounded with roses. There were many beautiful roses growing at Sissinghurst and I took many photographs. The result is a hand embroidered pendant necklace of roses round a cottage window.
