Tree House Craft Fair

I'll be taking part in the first Craft Fair at the Tree House Bookshop in Kenilworth on the 6th September 2015, between 11am and 4pm. 
There will be limited space at the Fair so I may not have all my items available. Please email me if there is anything you are interested in and would like to see at the fair so I can ensure I bring it.

William Morris commission

I was asked to make a 60th Birthday Card for someone who liked William Morris, here is the outcome.
I have used Art Nouveau paper for the background. I decided to use natural Honesty seed cases as I felt this fitted in with Morris' use of natural objects.  I coated dried Honesty seed cases with several layers of acrylic wax to enable me to free machine stitch a design on them. These were stitched onto a lace ribbon backed with thin card.
I'm now making a range of these cards in various colours for family and friends..............and a few to sell.
