Inspirations



I have always loved History, Literature and Art.........................................................................................................
beautiful things, the stuff of dreams..................................................

flowers, butterflies, fairy tales, embroidered fragments, Chinese blues, Botticelli angels, Blake's visions, Burne-Jones pictures............................................................................................

amongst many other hints and wisps of the past..........................

to catch in my net and weave into mydesigns..................

which I hope others might find as beautiful as their inspirations.

Happy Valentines Day to one and all!!!!


Apologies for posting this picture again but it was intended to be a Valentines day card/gift and I thought  it appropriate to explain the very romantic reasoning behind its design!  My Grandmother's first fiance was killed in the First World War.......The card in the peace/love symbol dove's mouth  is a tiny copy of the beautiful embroidered card her sent to her, from the trenches, signed 'from your own Sweeetheart' ..................................................
I hope my design did justice to his memory.
