The concept behind the exhibition is that the work should fit into an envelope of your choice. You can browse work from previous exhibitions in the online gallery.

I’ll share an image of my piece in a week or so. All the work is sold anonymously – ie. you’ll discover the artist once the work is purchased. I think you’ll recognise my artwork.

—– here’s a little something about the design —“Take Time to Smell the Roses – Covid-19” is a very personal piece. It was created during lockdown and features hand embroidery, stitched onto vintage cotton. The size is approximately six inches square and based on an award winning design from 2019.

I kept myself busy during Lockdown 2020, gently simmering rolled-up bundles of cloth and leaves. The fruits of my labour included a piece of fabric selected for this particular project. All the leaves were harvested this summer from my own garden —-
