Unique textile artworks – open series originals

Each Thread Sketch is created to order by me using freehand machine embroidery. While I revisit a collection of designs, no two works are ever identical — every stitch, fabric, and detail makes each piece a unique original.

These small artworks are designed as an accessible entry point into my textile practice. They are popular for their intimate scale and tactile quality.

• Open series originals – designs are repeated, but each hand-made and one of a kind

• Made with reclaimed and natural fabrics - please expect variations

• Framed or unframed options – ready to hang or gift

Please provide details of any customisation requirements when ordering.

In these thread drawings I explore the experience of being a woman: empowerment,strength, sensuality, self love, vulnerability and our connections with others. My aim is to convey a sense of a woman's inner landscape and her connection to her environment.

I choose to work in thread, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool, as I love the extremely expressive quality of the thread drawn line. All of my pieces begin as pencil/ mixed media drawings on paper, usually working from the nude or draped life model. In designing the thread drawings, I carefully choose colours, patterns, textures from my large collection of preloved fabrics to convey the emotion, character and atmosphere that I wish to communicate in the piece.
