I thought I’d add a bit of machine embroidery to this piece while I was mending my trousers! I have hardly done any machine work since university so it was pretty good fun going back to it! 🧵🧶✂️ #hertsvisualarts #hvafmembers #hertsartists #hertsopenstudios #hertsopenstudios2020 #artistssupportingartists #artcommunityhertfordshire #hertslife #thingstodoinhertfordshire #artcommunity #openstudios #artinherts #artistinhertfordshire #orbreyandthemodist #stitchedartisart #hitchinstitchin #Hitchinstitchers #onlineartgalleries #onlineartexhibition #thirtythemes #artistatwork #virtualopenstudios #artiststudios #artinhertfordshire #hertfordshireartgroup #meettheartist #artcommunityofinstagram #modernartists #herts #britishstitchers (at Hitchin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFcMwLeHbWx/?igshid=uxtz0jtkdjgl

Today’s prompt for the @hertsvisualarts 30 Thebes is ‘Sketchbook Heaven’ - I do have sketchbooks and they’re invaluable but I also use boxes to keep ideas in just because I find it easier to flip through them! 📒✂️🎨😊 #hertsvisualarts #hvafmembers #hertsartists #hertsopenstudios #hertsopenstudios2020 #artistssupportingartists #artcommunityhertfordshire #hertslife #thingstodoinhertfordshire #artcommunity #openstudios #artinherts #artistinhertfordshire #orbreyandthemodist #stitchedartisart #hitchinstitchin #Hitchinstitchers #onlineartgalleries #onlineartexhibition #thirtythemes #artistatwork #virtualopenstudios #artiststudios #artinhertfordshire #hertfordshireartgroup #meettheartist #artcommunityofinstagram #modernartists #herts #britishstitchers (at Hitchin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErjZnLHy28/?igshid=1j8uixxcooxso

Today’s open studio theme is ‘Favourite Things’. Assuming they don’t mean Sauvignon Blanc and olives, one of my favourite things is COLLAGE!! 🎨 ✂️ I always keep a little pile of paper next to me when I paint to scribble the dregs onto, I HATE waste and it gives you some really cool marks to play with. It’s also a quick way to figure out ideas without cutting up all of my fabric. Win Win!! 🧵🧶✂️🎨💕♻️ #hertsvisualarts #hvafmembers #hertsartists #hertsopenstudios #hertsopenstudios2020 #artistssupportingartists #artcommunityhertfordshire #hertslife #thingstodoinhertfordshire #artconmunity #openstudios #artinherts #artistinhertfordshire #orbreyandthemodist #stitchedartisart #hitchinstitchin #Hitchinstitchers #onlineartgalleries #onlineartexhibition #thirtythemes #artistatwork #virtualopenstudios #artiststudios #artinhertfordshire #hertfordshireartgroup #meettheartist #artcommunityofinstagram #modernartists #herts #favouritething (at Hitchin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpAC7_Hge1/?igshid=kexkd2vxlw3l

I’m taking part in the @hertsvisualarts virtual open studios this month, there are 30 themes over each day in September and today is ‘Celebrating Colour’ which I thought had my name written all over it!! 😂😂🧵🧶🎨 Here’s a selection of my most colourful hoops from the last year! #hertsvisualarts #hvafmembers #hertsartists #hertsopenstudios #hertsopenstudios2020 #artistssupportingartists #artcommunityhertfordshire #hertslife #thingstodoinhertfordshire #artconmunity #openstudios #artinherts #artistinhertfordshire #orbreyandthemodist #stitchedartisart #hitchinstitchin #Hitchinstitchers #onlineartgalleries #onlineartexhibition #thirtythemes #artistatwork #virtualopenstudios #artiststudios #artinhertfordshire #hertfordshireartgroup #meettheartist #artcommunityofinstagram #modernartists #herts #britishstitchers (at Hitchin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmZxsKn6Ms/?igshid=gik4tvpfoi3k
