Designer Maker/Art
August. Working with Sarah Homfray, I advised on the construction and hanging of this community project. Made of 77 canvas work squares carried out by members of the congregation, I stitched them together and devised and stitched the backing and fixings. The tapestry was hung with velcro, a method used in hanning antique textiles.
As part of the RSN team, I worked on creating the carrickmacross-style lace which formed the sleeves and applied decoration on the skirt of Kate Middleton's wedding dress. The design was finally revealed on the royal wedding day, 29th April 2011.
A set of jewellery based on freesias, a rather difficult flower to produce in my technique where the embroidery is 'free-standing'!
Necklace and Earrings, commissioned as a wedding gift. This version is my experiment with a different colourway to satisfy my own taste.
