Branching Out

I am expanding and stretching my wings on the net. As you can see I now have a small, but growing, shop at
https://www.hand-made.com.au/textilelady
More items will be added soon as time, energy and concentration permit because I am
still working on new designs all the time and the new range is growing.
Here is another example :-

                                                                 Hollyhocks

I plan to sell these either framed or unframed, as singles or in a set.This will give you the option of choosing your own frame and growing your collection one by one.

New beginnings : New Range

I am working on a new range for MaterialAssets.
Based on smaller textile pieces that may be framed or unframed.As always no two are exactly the same.

Here is a sneak peak

Based on the vivid colours ( and incidentally my favourite colours) found under the sea in tropical waters. This features a handpainted canvas as the base with embroidery depicting the various elements.

Embellished Jacket

To get an unusual garment I often embellish existing ones, especially with embroidery.

This is a classic brocade jacket and the embroidery on the shoulder makes me think of epaulets on uniforms.
Anything may be embellished to create a unique piece of wearable art.
Yes it will look different and unusual but thats where the buzz is.

An Introduction is needed

Hello to everyone .
My first blog here (but you can see more at my website)      http://www.materialassets.com.au
Originally an art teacher and now a florist and artist , colour is always the buzz for me, closely followed by texture.
I class myself as a mixed medium artist.In other words I am not just an oil painter, not just a textile artist...you get the drift.I enjoy mixing the different materials.
Handpainting needlework canvases is a focus and an exacting skill. Got a pic you would like to sew??Then I will handpaint the design for you.
I have to say from the beginning that Im not a computer techie .. so there may well be blunders now and again but I will try and keep them to a minimum.
