This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

That is a beautiful piece! Even if it were just a printed picture on a card it would be lovely. I am always delighted by your work!
I would love to be able to some see your work first hand. Alas, I am in California where it is not safe to even step out of your apartment.
He might make a very nice card, I’m definitely going to think about it for next year
He’s turned out really well, hasn’t he! (Not that I’m surprised). As for removing the text, I suppose it rather depends on what you’re intending to do with him…
I’m quite pleased with him – I’m jsut not a big fan on words on stuff
He looks great!
thanks
