A bold abstract geometric paper patchwork, with a sewing theme.

This piece was completely sewn by hand, over several days. The process went something like this: I started off making ink drawings of pins on brown paper and decided to use them as the basis of a patchwork, along with other papers I'd printed and painted. From there, the piece evolved organically, as I added more patches, then hand embroidery and finally I decided to bring in a little bit of twinkly magic with the sequins, each one lovingly stitched in place by hand.

Will be sent unframed, so you can choose a frame to suit your own home.

If you'd prefer to hang it unframed please let me know and I'll happily attach a hanging loop on the reverse. 

Materials

Mixed pre-used papers, including maps, brown paper, painted and hand printed papers, embroidery thread and sequins.

Measurements

10.5 inches by 8.25 inches or 26.5cm x 21cm at widest.

All measurements are approximate.

Will be well packaged so it arrives in excellent condition.
