My computer has become an indispensable part of my creative life. 

Rather than  designing for textiles , the textiles themselves 

sometimes become a starting point for the images. 

By combining with art work, drawings and photos 

these images  are an extension to my textile work. 

Below are some of my pieces, not all are textile, metal and paper are also involved.

 

Computer drawing in the style 

of Howard Hodgkin

Jewellery was designed using the drawing as inspiration.

Brooch

Purse for jewellery

 

Book cover based on scanned images of a lily

Container using the same imagery

Spice Jars, a quilt using heat transferred

images which, when quilted, give an impression of leather

Apple Tree Spice, a quilt using printed paper as part of the fabric as well as heat transferred imagery. See the article in Design-It, the magazine of the CTDGe

This complex image is inspired by the series of quilts I made based on horses. The original inspiration came from a painting by Walter Crane of horses and the sea. This is a Giclėe print.
