Flow to the shore
Large seascape piece incorporating felting and applique techniques, mounted on canvas
This piece was inspired by many visits to the coast in this country and in France, and reflects a more subtle colour palette and representation of movement in the water. Felting in the sky shows movement of the clouds and a range of hand embroidery follows the waves in the sea. The crashing of the waves to shore is represented by heat mouldable fabric and felting techniques make up the shore and pebbles on the sand. A range of beading and hand embroidery is individually sewn onto the piece for fine detail and texture.

Seaweed scene Multi media piece using felt, applique, scrim, hand embroidery techniques and beading I was inspired by the beaches of Cornwall for this piece. Studying the seaweed as the waves landed on the sand. Felt is used for the seaweed to better describe the blend of colours and get a better feel of the texture. The Scrim helps to tell the story of the wave as it washes over the pebbles on the shore. 60cm x 40cm including canvas £550 Seascape study Felt with heat mouldable fabric and free machine and hand embroidery stitching This piece was inspired by a trip to Nice, the sun reflected on the sea was glistening, the beading in the sea give a flavour of this effect. Free machine embroidery defines the pebbles and the movement of the sea. 30cm x 40cm including canvas £300 |
