Finally getting time to look back on what was a wonderful weekend spent with some special people doing what we love best. After the excitement of the Landscapes exhibit opening @texasartscouncil we slipped away for a couple of hours painting in the paddock and collecting reference photos. Thanks @annabelcleeveart @robyn.beeston @neridawoolleyart @karenbackusart

I had the loveliest day yesterday having some creative play with @robyn.beeston and fellow students at one of her art coaching classes. Lots of laughs and creative chats.

It seems that embroidery is great hand therapy when you’ve done such a good job at breaking it in the first place. This surgery recovery is taking longer than I expected. While being frustrated that I still can’t do all the things I want to, I’m having a wonderful time exploring creative things I can still do without too much pain. Thank you to the amazing Fleur Woods for her Take Two online class to keep me challenged. This is one of my final pieces “Rockpools of Memories”. #joyfulembroidery @fleurwoodsart @taketwoartcourses

I don’t often post photos of me … but this one might explain why I’m not making new artworks for a while. A quick trip to NZ and I came back with one of their best exports… a very broken limb! Hand surgery this week to fix it up but it’s very slow texting and messy left handed eating for a while. Maybe I’ll start my limited edition left handed creation phase?!

It’s confirmed! I will age much faster than my stitched botanical artworks.
A common question is whether my artworks will last. After recently consulting a textile conservator, she confirmed that I use correct museum-approved archival methods.
There is about a ten step process of various archival rituals I go through with my materials, starting with the tedious collection, grading, cleaning, and prepping of the hundreds of botanical fibres which can take hours before I even get to the design stage. Then during the actual creating process I strictly use all acid free materials.
Each piece is hand-stitched onto 100% cotton archival paper with natural fibre threads, then sealed inside frames within my art studio to prevent the risk of contamination or damage to the works.
I only ask to please not hang in direct sunlight to help preserve their natural beaty and enjoy the longevity of these artworks as they are certainly a labour of love.
