Intuitive Embroidery Portfolio

This is my favourite way to work, as it is a mindful and meditative embroidery practice with no rules, no constraints, no fixed pattern and no plan.

I take inspiration from the colours of the seasons or the materials that I have in my extensive stash of fabric, threads and embellishments.

Each stitch starts by selecting a thread colour, seeing where that colour fits best and stitching in whatever form seems right. No stitch is a mistake. Occasionally one stitch may look out of place, but adding other stitches around it tends resolve the unease to create something beautiful.

The finished pieces are complex and contemporary.

Some of my intuitive pieces are for sale and I am open for commissions for a customised intuitive piece.
