Artist's StatementFor many years I was a teacher of florists, travelling all over the world, invited to pass on European British style to students and fellow tutors. I now put all of my energy into my textiles, using natural fibres; silk, wool, linen and cotton; to create detailed landscape and flower thread paintings, appliqués and felted pictures and practical items. I am, of course, inspired by natural forms; flowers, plants, sometimes insects and birds. I immerse myself in the textures of these lovely materials and beautful colours, blending and highlighting. I'm constantly learning and loving my new direction.
One of my latest exploits is in the making of art dolls; not toys but rag dolls with a back story and a sense of the surreal and fun. I'm also felting lots of different vessels, scarves and You can find me on instagram as bramble_cottage_crafts to see my latest creations
