We spent a wonderful morning in the company of this very talented lady;  she lives in Surrey and is a textile artists who has worked for some of the world’s top fashion designers and now uses her talents to create stunning unique pieces from the objects she finds around her  – and in charity shops!

 

Here we are busy chatting over one of her ‘lace skirts’ which were in an earlier exhibition
