My embroidered anatomical fungi rats seem to be getting sunnier with the weather....

My perfect New Year's Eve......good company, lots of cushions, hot drink, new book 👌

Thanks so much to all my friends and followers this year. I hope 2025 is a cracking one for you all and that I shall see some of you in my studio 😘

I've just finished this mugwort crowned, lunar hare goddess who wants to bring you sleep and lucid dreams. She's called Selena Somnus, made from recycled fabric, embroidered and needle felted. Approx 12" tall.

This is a bust of my mum made by Anna Binns, when they were both 17, at school in 1964. Incredible likeness, wish I owned it. My mum now, aged 77.

I've been busy starting some luxury mari lwyd decorations today, made from proper hand woven Welsh blankets and lovely dusky red velvet. Now, what the heck have I done with that vintage lace to finish them with ?🤔 They'll be available in my Etsy Shop, Brigante Arts, if I ever find it 🙂

Happy Krampusnacht everybody! Guess which episode I'll be watching of Inside No9 this evening?.........🤔 followed of course by the film Krampus. I hope you haven't been naughty, otherwise, prepare to get in that sack 😈 Have you been naughty or nice? 🤔 #krampusnacht

Uh-oh! Here comes trouble #handemboideredkrampius #krampus

Some handmade krampus decorations about to make their way to the Folklore Centre Shop in Todmorden.

Many merry maris! #marilwyd #Yule #treedecorations #pagan

We went to see Jeremy Dyson in conversation with Mike Muncer this evening, at the Old Woollen. Couple of legends, great venue. Nice shirt too Jeremy 👍 #mikemuncer #evolutionofhorror #jeremydyson

It's a long time since I have made a witch hare......caught mid transformation.

My contribution to the Skulls and Sheets auction for domestic violence charities this year. #marilwyd

The first fae hare I've made in ages. She's wool tweed and red velvet, needle felted, beaded and hand embroidered with fungi, foxglove and ferns. Off to Ontario on Monday.

One of my recent anatomical style embroideries.....hope you like it.

A blast from the past.....some of my Beelzebugs 🪲

My assistant, Mossy Boggart, wondering why I spend hours making this random stuff?....

It begins! #yule #krampus #marilwyd

Since it snowed here (West Yorkshire) yesterday, I thought it appropriate to post a Cailleach embroidery that I did a few years ago.

Can you guess what it is yet? Off to the studio to crack on with some fae hares, some mari lwyd and krampus decorations and trad yule stockings. Way behind this year due to the cursed flu......

Hello. I don't know what I am doing, as usual. So, here's a picture.
