I create mixed-media keepsake boxes by layering luxurious fabrics and papers with hand and machine embroidery, combining texture and detail through heat manipulation, layering, print and cutwork by hand. All boxes have coordinating tags and tissue paper, and are inspired by imperfections in nature, 1920’s interiors, adverts and social myths. Prices range from £3 to £75. I have a first class degree in Mixed Media Textiles (BA Hons) and I now work from a home studio in Leicestershire, taking commissions and selling my work via galleries and from my website.
