Insect embroideries

29/8/2016

I recently acquired a box of beads and sequins which included some unusual sequin shapes, these inspired me to create a series of embroidered insects. Many of the sequins were perfect shapes to become wings or beetle bodies. In addition to the sequins I used small pieces of goldwork threads for the legs. These embroideries may eventually become part of a larger project which I am currently working on.

Dear Hannah,
I just returned home from a trip and my package from you had arrived.
I was stunned at the execution of these exquisite bugs and butterfly. I feel very fortunate that I found your website and even more grateful that you are creating and handmaking these beautifully crafted pieces. I know that I will be purchasing more bugs and cannot wait for all the envious comments that I will get from my friends when I wear them.
As one who dabbles in embroidery, I am very appreciative of the time and the creativity that these small pieces take to make. I now see why you have won the awards that are noted on you website.
Congratulations to you.
