new work - snowglobes

girl dreamer & bird - snow globe series

I'm just about to update my own shop with a few new pieces..... but will of course share photos here of new work. And so.... I've designed a new 'snow globe' idea, a domed world, tiny and intricate, larger brooches or to be framed..... the snow globe above will be in my shop in just a moment....

I've long had a fascination with tiny dream-like worlds and spaces. Snow globes are both nostalgic and yet somehow there's something a little unusual in these forever glittery domes, trapped, enchanted, my stitched figures have to bend and curve and dance a little to be in there.... like living in a spellbound world....


this is the piece I was working on yesterday, now completed.... puppeteer snow globe.... this one I am putting aside for an exhibition happening later in the year....

Enjoy your weekend x
