I love a bit of fluro tape.

 I am a big fan of brightly coloured tape so i was very happy when i got hold of some fantastic coloured fabric gaffer tape to finish off these new perspex frames which hold my hand stitched embroideries on vintage napkins.

It has been a bit of a textile summer for me, having received a large order for these pieces from Anthropologie in the USA. 

You can see them in a couple of weeks at MadeLondon on the 22nd-25th of October at 
1 Marylebone. It is a really great show so do try to make it.

Above is a snap form the other day when i was taking photographs for my website...

Something special for someone special

What a nice way to spend a Monday morning. I have just finished drawing this piece commissioned by a best friend to give the bride to be Frankie and her soon to be husband Greg. Frankie already has her kitchen wall adorned with my work. This is a new one for her collection. What a lovely friend.

If you fancy something similar as a wedding gift, birthday present or to commemorate any other special occasion do get in contact... info@racheleardley.com
