My work on a book cover!

A very exciting opportunity has come my way. I was recently approached by Tupelo Press, an American publishing company, and asked if an image of a piece of my textiles could be used on the cover of one of their books. They selected 'Little Stitches', featured in a previous blog post to use on a book of poetry by Jennifer Millitello to be published in spring. 

What a lovely adventure for the new year ahead. Happy New Year everyone, I do love the anticipation and invigoration of a fresh new year, so much to explore.

Inspiration

Spotted these beautiful old table tops recently and was particularly drawn to the circles of wood put in, I assume, to replace knots. Something about the way the woodgrain was interrupted, the way the lines change direction, really appealed to me. Imagine how many elbows have rested on these surfaces? What work was done at these tables before they were re-purposed in a London coffee shop?
Gorgeous.
