Hand Painted Plate

I hand painted this plate with a hint of a Christmas theme using ceramic paint. I have depicted a winter holly leaf at the top and a summer flower on the bottom rim to act as a juxtaposition. This paint is dishwasher safe once it has been set so I will be able to use the plate again and again without it fading!

Textile Art - Sea Scene

I created this piece of textile art using free-hand machine embroidery, beading and hand embroidery. The sea scene that I have sewn depicts light rays shining into the depths of the ocean and the ripples at the water's surface.
