A glimpse behind the scenes — pieces taking shape on the easel and under the needle.

A swallow worked in silk ribbon on dark cloth, still stretched in its wooden embroidery hoop — The swallow, still on the hoop

Work in progress

Lengths of hand-painted silk ribbon, beadwork and ribbon flowers laid out across a pale blue embroidery hoop — Silk ribbon, before a piece begins

Hand-painted silk ribbon

Two small birds worked in beads and coloured silk ribbon on black cloth, partly finished — Two birds in beadwork

Work in progress

More to come — and perhaps a short film of a piece being stitched from the first length of ribbon to the last.
