This year I am exhibiting with WocArt and have created textile animals, brooches with an eclectic feel. They are odd and cute textile animals, I like to use denim a lot because of its variation in colour. The animals represent feelings within all of us spilling out angrily or tearfully, or calmly taking on what life throws at us. They are displayed with first aid and handmade sewing kits. I use sewing as a calm meditative activity to repair and help dissipate anxieties. The animal are stuffed with lavender, and I have used scraps of textile from clothing and found and vintage fabrics.
