New Boating Artwork

As a follow on from my handmade boating greetings card shown in my last post I have designed an embroidered and appliqued boating artwork.

This artwork will be framed in a similar style to my 'Cupcake' and 'Afternoon Tea' artworks and can be personalised by changing the initials on the middle boat to any three letters/numbers of your choice.

I am currently sourcing new frames for my textile artworks - I have found some great high quality wooden frames made in the UK so now just need to approve samples and place my order. This design will be available in my NOTHS shop in the next couple of weeks once I have frames available.

If you wish to pre-order a 'Boating' artwork then please email me with your requirements at studio@clairehurd.co.uk.

Handmade Boating Greetings Card

Having focused on rather girly cards recently I thought I ought to add a more masculine design in to the mix. With my love of the seaside and taking inspiration from my many photographs taken on a recent trip to St. Ives, Cornwall, the natural choice of motif for me was a boat.

The denim and cotton boat has been appliqued on to a textured cotton base and embellished with fine satin ribbon and a miniature button. The birds have been embroidered by hand and the text is hand-written.

I shall be adding this card to my online shops (NOTHS and Folksy) and as I will be making it to order shall be offering to change the text and personalise the card for free.

If you would like to commission something similar, perhaps in a different colour, then please email me directly at studio@clairehurd.co.uk.
