Precious Sparrow

Precious Sparrow

6 inches x 6 inches
15 cm x 15 cm

This is an original painting of one of the birds that  chatter noisily in the hedge outside the kitchen window. Their numbers are in general decline in the UK but we are lucky and have lots – probably because we have several bird feeders around the garden. My painting is acrylic onto a square, wooden panel and is ready for display. I’ve painted the background in metallic gold just to emphasize how precious these little creatures are!

This is an original painting of one of the birds that I would love to see in my garden but I’ve only ever seen once. That was on a walk up the hill out of Laura’s village. We heard him first but after a careful search in the hedgerow we spotted him in all his tiny glory!  My painting is acrylic onto a square, wooden panel and is ready for display.

Grapevine

Grapevine

12.5 inches wide x 18.5 inches long
32 cm x 47 cm

This little quilt features  a digitally embroidered grapevine design which I’ve extended by adding hand painted bunches of grapes and extra leaves. I worked the embroidery over a digitally quilted design and combined it with free motion machine quilting. The fruits and leaves I’ve added have been painted with acrylic fabric paints and finally I embellished the work with lots of hand stitched French knots. The cotton fabric base is a digital print of some flaking plaster Laura photographed on holiday in Portugal. I liked the idea of the vine scrambling over the ancient wall of the house!
