Folk Art, Handmade Bird Brooches

Folk Art Shop Grand Opening. I create Original Hand Embroidered Folk Art Jewelry using my own designs. Each piece is a work of Art and is signed and dated on the back. I consider each piece of Jewelry to be Heirloom Quality. 

Birds are a favorite subject matter of mine. But I will also be offering Flowers, Cats, Insects, and other Animals. I will be adding new Folk Art Jewelry on a regular basis, so be sure to check back often. These make Great Gifts for the Lady who has everything!

Embroidery Care Instructions

I'm a Woolite girl. To wash hand embroidered items....I recommend hand washing in Woolite using cold water. You can use a tooth brush or small soft brush to clean stains around the embroidered thread. DO NOT use a brush on the embroidered image(s) though! You will ruin the embroidery if you do.

To Dry.....I recommend Air Dry or Line Dry ONLY!

If a hand embroidered item needs to be ironed.....I recommend using a "Pressing Cloth" on the reverse side of the item. Example: If you are ironing a Tote Bag....I recommend using a pressing cloth to iron on the back side of the Tote. Never iron directly on a hand embroidery image! Pressing Cloth's can be purchased at a Fabric Store outlet.

I consider my hand embroidered items to be of heirloom quality. So its important to care for them properly.

Quilts and Quilting part 1

Art Quilts have been a favorite medium of mine for a long time. Lately I've been experimenting with using different mediums and techniques. Nature scenes have been painted and hand embroidered on to my quilts. Found objects have been making their way into my quilts. Everything from paper clips to garment tags. It must be the Victorian Crazy Quilt influence.

The image above has found its way on to Greeting Cards, Ladies Tops, Coffee Mugs and more!
