Details are everything in a well considered private commission. In this case the chosen elements for a button boot were a fine Italian black baby calf, a series of vintage boot buttons, a red peony rayon grosgrain, a magenta closing thread and a red linen hand stitched stay.

A few recent snap shots in the studio. These are the times I love. Selecting silk threads, so many colours, working through possible stitches and finally settling into the many hours of working the canvas. It’s like meditation for me …

We called our display at last weeks ‘Flights of Fancy’. An invitation to use imagination when placing a bespoke commission. We borrowed shoes previously commissioned by clients and created a few new ones for the event. All had a bird theme and featured embroidery and feather work and can you spot the molded beaks on the toes of the shoes in the suspended cloche?
