Marasmiellus Candidus (Fairy Parachutes)

An experiment with hand stitched applique... (very much a work in progress!)

Rough applique piece using odds and ends - including an old linocut on canvas.

Little experiment. Combining freehand machine embroidery with knot stitch.

Details.

Studio light.

Little ideas here and there...

Currently on the hoop.

Red Salon opened last night. Beautifully curated and a thrill to be a part of. These little curiosities are available to take home through RED Gallery's website.

Or if you're in Melbourne stop by RED Gallery in Fitzroy for a viewing!

I'm still getting my head around this Mastodon thing, (my last post was 2 years ago)...my millennial brain seems to only compute with Instagram and Facebook marketplace at best - but I'm keen to share my work here as it seems like a welcoming space.

I make things - mostly freehand machine embroidery pieces. I'm fascinated by lichen-like forms - nature's ability to hold and transform is humbling in these current times.
