My hand embroidered story books are made using recycled fabrics, clothing and other found objects. They are always hand embroidered directly in to the fabric as I like the concept of stitching my emotions straight in to the cloth thus making this unraveling story more meaningfull. These books are carried around with me and are constantly added to on the go.For me they are another sketch book or diary and the trchnique of hand sewing to me is a theraputic process.
