Hand Embroidery

'Here the needle plies its busy task, The pattern grows, the well depicted flower, Wrought patiently into the snowy lawn, Unfold its bosom, bud and leaves and sprigs."

A Winter's Evening - William Cowper

Inspired by the nature around our home and the literature of these islands, my designs are hand embroidered onto antique linen.

In the case of the pictures, they are hand stretched over acid free card to extend longevity, and framed in antique frames, usually with the original gold slip and old glass; there is only one of each embroidered picture. I do have a limited edition of Giclée fine art prints available in some designs, to see them, please click here: Giclée Prints and Greeting Cards – The Peacock's Tale (the-peacocks-tale.co.uk)
