Maintenance

All embroidery is handmade. To enjoy your artwork for a long time I made sure that all beadwork and threads are secured by rubbing a transparent textile glue over the bonded parts so that sequins and beads do not come loose.

However, used materials are from the highest standard, they are fragile and will not be happy; when washed, laying in the sun or water or being touched a lot.

Most work is already framed, and I advise you not to hang the art in direct sunlight as the fabric or silk can fade or discolor.

Accessories like brooches can be worn daily. Please make sure not to display them in full sunlight or wash them.

Do you give embroidery workshops?

Yes I do. All current workshops are found here
