Embroidery Graduate 1955

Using the theme of the poem ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’, I started to make children’s products.

As I used the owl and pussycat for bags, the use of other animal shapes such as elephants, pigs, and fish were naturally suggested.

In my cards I enjoy using the play of colours and letter shapes to produce words with a message and the personal feel a piece of handwork gives.
