I can embroider on a precious scrap of cloth, as long as it is sturdy enough to bear the stitching.

Hand-dyed, hand-embroidered, re-purposed cotton, linen and silk.  Stitched with vintage threads from a family collection.  Each one unique and unrepeatable as the threads are irreplaceable.  Commissions welcome.  Brooches possible in three different sizes.
