Beach Greetings Card

Abstract coastal scene in shades of sand and pale blue.

This is a print of an original textile artwork by Alison, and although the card is smooth the high print quality enables the stitching and texture created in the original piece to be clearly visible.

The card is blank inside for your own message to be added.

• Size:  6" x 6"
• Printed on 350gsm card.
• Blank inside.
• White envelope included.
• Sealed inside a clear cello bag.

I am a Devon based textile artist creating contemporary textile art inspired by the coast and countryside. With no formal training I took up free motion machine embroidery in 2012 and over time I have gravitated towards textile art, developing my own unique style by using organza and net to give a soft, watercolour feel to my work.

Working loosely from photographs, but often directly from my imagination, each piece of my work evolves as it is created. I prefer not to use a sketchbook, instead allowing my creativity to guide me as each piece develops. Colour and texture are big influences for me and, where possible, I prefer to source upcycled textiles for their variety and individuality. I love the idea that these materials can be given a new purpose, and can be appreciated in a totally different way for many more years to come.
