I'm busy working on hoops for the next Makers Emporium event (30th October! ) The theme this month is "Once Upon A Time" So it had to be a mermaid really! Look out for dragons next! This is hand beaded shibori ribbon tail, with Swarovski crystals, hand embroidered body, and very gorgeous hair! #handembroidery #modernembroidery #creativityeveryday #Artoninstagram #Ukcreatives #Fibreart #Needlecraft #Textileart #Contemporaryembroidery #Artwall #Artwalldeco #Embroiderylove #Stitchersofinstagram #embroideryartist #Happywall #Happywallart #Happywallmaker #instahandmade #Homeideas #Artoninstagram #Handmadegifts #Womenwhomake #stitchmagazine #embroideryart #mermaid #mermaidembroidery #shiborisilkribbon #shiboriribbon #beadembroidered #mermaidart

I did a mini!!!! A sweet little lavender field with buzzy bees! Framed in a teensy frame. Photographed with a 50p to show scale!. I think I might make more miniatures! Just need to track down some more frames! (I took the plastic/glass out as it squished the stitches!) #embroidery #embroider #hoopart #handembroidery #needlecraft #fibreart #feelingstitchyig #embroiderylove #sew #stitching #handmade #needlework #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #contemporaryembroidery #modernmaker #etsyseller #handstitched #fibreartist #etsy #embroideryart #embroideryhoop #embroiderypattern #stitchmagazine #handcrafteduniquelycommunity #MiniatureEmbroidery #LavenderEmbroidery #BeeEmbroidery #Miniature #MiniatureArt

Last night I finished something just for me! I got this goldwork kit from the amazing Georgina Bellamy a while ago, and have been putting off making it, as I wanted to make sure I did Georgina's amazing design justice! The pattern was in an article in Stitch Magazine. I decided to make the finished bee into a pin brooch, and it will be attached to my bag shortly! If you haven't seen Georgina's work, check out her page - she's amazing! https://www.facebook.com/thatembroiderygirl/ #embroidery #embroider #hoopart #handembroidery #needlecraft #fibreart #feelingstitchyig #embroiderylove #sew #stitching #handmade #embroideryinstaguild #needlework #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #craftsposure #contemporaryembroidery #modernmaker #etsyseller #handstitched #fibreartist #etsy #embroideryart #embroideryhoop #embroiderypattern #stitchmagazine #Goldwork #GoldworkEmbroidery #ThatEmbroideryGirl #Bee

At the weekend I visited a Rock & Gem show, and picked up some fabulous new goodies! First up, is this super pretty amethyst necklace. Three sizes of faceted amethysts on sterling silver findings, on a sterling silver ball chain #jewellery #instajewellery #handmadejewellery #design #jewellerygram #Handmade #Lovejewellery #Supporthandmade #Mycreativebiz #JOTD #Jewelleryoftheday #Shopsmall #Pursuepretty #Thatsdarling #Sparklythings #Jewellerylovers #Jewelleryaddict #handcrafteduniquelycommunity #Amethyst #AmethystNecklace #AmethystPendant #GemstoneJewellery #GemstoneNecklace #SterlingSilverNecklace #BirthstoneJewellery #Necklace #Pendant #OOAKNecklace #OOAKPendant #AmethystLove

I recently asked for embroidery challenges in my Facebook group, and one of the suggestions made was pentacle with leaves - this is my interpretation! #craftsposure #textileart #inspiredbynature #makersmovement #searchwandercollect #creativelifehappylife #seekinspirecreate #createmakeshare #handmadewithlove #craft #contemporaryembroidery #modernmaker #etsyseller #handstitched #fibreartist #etsy #embroideryart #embroideryhoop #embroiderypattern #stitchmagazine #Pentacle #handcrafteduniquelycommunity #PaganArt #PaganEmbroidery #PentacleEmbroidery #WiccaEmbroidery #GothicEmbroidery #Leaves #NatureEmbroidery #EmbroideryChallenge

The second in my "For the love of Bees" range! Maybe a beadwork bee next? #embroidery #embroider #hoopart #handembroidery #needlecraft #fibreart #feelingstitchyig #embroiderylove #sew #stitching #handmade #embroideryinstaguild #needlework #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #craftsposure #contemporaryembroidery #modernmaker #etsyseller #handstitched #fibreartist #etsy #embroideryart #embroideryhoop #embroiderypattern #stitchmagazine #handcrafteduniquelycommunity #bee #beeembroidery #beelove
