Based on my original piece 'Forget-Me-Not', 2024.
£2 from the sale of this print goes to the charity End Violence Against Women.
This print is an exact replica of my original piece, measuring the same size at 21cm x 30cm and featuring visible textures of the fabric and thread.
The piece is inspired by traditional botanical illustrations, based on vintage reference books. The annotations are inspired by the text in these books and by gardening journals.
Forget me nots are often thought of as weeds as they spring up in unexpected places, but they produce beautiful petite powder blue flowers. They are associated with love and remembrance.
Giclée (pronouned "jee-clay") prints are fine-art quality prints using pigment-based archival quality inks. This means your prints will last well over 100 years, and a lot longer than digital prints.
The paper is 285gsm.
Prints are sent in board backed plastic wallets.
ABOUT ME:
I'm a textile artist and designer working from East Yorkshire.
My signature drawings in thread are made using the technique of freemotion machine embroidery, by moving the fabric underneath the needle to create the image.
I believe creative skills should be valued and shared, so I often teach short art courses and creative workshops.
