COMISSION A HAND EMBROIDERY
Secure a consultation and slot for a future personal hand embroidered artwork commission.
View my gallery of embroidery commissions here.
The VERY IMPORTANT fine print:
Purchasing a consultation and slot for a future commission is exactly that: a place in line and a consultation to define what your artwork will be.
As there is an ever growing demand and waiting list of clients for my intricate, colourful custom embroidery pieces, this holding deposit secures you a place on that list (the length of which you will be informed of after purchase or on email request, as it naturally varies). Soon after the completion of the purchase I will contact you via email to arrange your consultation.
The consultation will determine the design, size and price of the piece, framing and delivery. The agreed price of the artwork will be charged in two instalments: the first upon final agreement of the design; the second upon completion of the piece, prior to arranging delivery. The cost of this holding deposit will be deducted from the price of the first instalment.
Please note that due to high demand and the time-intensive nature of larger scale embroideries, specific completion time-frames are unlikely to be guaranteed.
You can view further examples of previous commissions here.

There are NO limitations to who can use this pattern, from total beginner to seasoned stitcher. Because I believe in YOU and try to make my instructions as clear as possible (though I also suggest buckets of patience). After all, every pro was once a beginner too!.
The pattern comes with detailed instructions, and while I use some traditional techniques, my work as well as my pattern designs have a very contemporary approach to embroidery.
All stitches and colours are suggestions ONLY, so please go wild with your own favourite colour combinations.

Big swinging Ovaries is my brand, needless to say that:
The content of this pattern pack is for PERSONAL USE ONLY! It must not be reproduced, replicated or commercially distributed. Under no circumstances are you allowed to sell the pattern or completed embroidery.
Violation of these terms may result in legal action being taken.
To combat using so many plastic sleeves during my workshops, and to create a unique little bag that fits all your embroidery utensils when on the go, I designed this screen printed drawstring bag.
You can also embroider the design on the bag to truly make it your own.
At 25cm x 29cm it will comfortably hold many hoop sizes, your scissors and threads.
They usually come as part of my workshop, but due to high demand I have decided to also make them available for everybody else to purchase!
I designed this awesome screen printed, sturdy recycled cotton tote for you to go wild on with your most colourful embroidery dreams. Follow the pattern, fill in or leave out whichever parts you like.
This is a limited edition run. Once the bags are gone that’s it!

‘A Thousand Little Pricks’ isn’t just an enormous hand embroidery but my pièce de résistance. A stunning collection of some of the idiotic messages I’ve personally received, as well as some gender ideologues’ noteworthy, ridiculous statements, complimented by witty medieval-inspired cock illustrations.
Designed in the style of an illuminated manuscript, the piece was stitched in bold colours and gold thread. Wholly appropriate for the medieval beliefs and witch-burning attitudes of the self-righteous “justice warriors”, whose words feature prominently as “pearls of wisdom”.

Mary Moser RA (27 October 1744 – 2 May 1819) was an English painter and one of the most celebrated women artistsof 18th-century Britain. One of only two female founding members of the Royal Academyin 1768 (along with Angelica Kauffman), Moser painted portraits but is particularly noted for her depictions of flowers.
After Moser's death in 1819, no further women were elected as full members of the Academy until Dame Laura Knight in 1936
