Textured cotton, silk and printed fabric have been used in this heathland scene.  Hand-stitched birds are homeward bound at sunset.  Hand-stitching picks out stone walls, hedges and the tracks of wildlife.  Glass beads; sheep grazing and one single button, a feature in the  landscape.

As I spend so much time out and about with my sketchbook., I love to work some of my drawings into collages using re-cycled fabrics, beads, shells and other found materials.  All my collages are hand-stitched and original.  Where possible, I use natural materials such as wool, silk and cotton.  Beads are usually glass, semi-precious stone and crystal.  I also use shell, copper wire and mesh and a collection of buttons, some very old.
