I'm so proud and excited as my work has been featured in the May edition of Homespun magazine.

Homespun is an Australian magazine that bridges the gap between classic crafting and contemporary edge.  Each monthly issue brings inspiration, ideas and step-by-step projects from the world’s best textile artists and makers. Homespun takes a modern approach to textile crafts and provides the perfect blend of contemporary and traditional projects, which has landed the magazine with two major publishing awards. Homespun appeals to both the new wave of young crafters keen for ideas-driven ingenuity as well as traditional stitchers. Their motto is “Your Heart in Your Hands”. And that just about sums it up!

In this video I'm adding the details to my latest picture of Sanderlings, not Sandpipers as I say for some reason!.These are small sea wading birds that live on the coast near where we live in Northumberland. They tend to run along the shoreline in small groups dodging the waves and feeding on the wet sand. I needle felt the details using a wide variety of wool yarns, some of which you can see in the photo below.
