I did a collaboration with one of my favourite young artists, Dara Simpson (Weirdlywhimsical1 on Insta) I loved sharing ideas, and she made this lovely video to tell the story of Merrow 💚 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts #mermaid #dolls

I wanted to stitch a tribute to Yayoi Kusama RIP I have always found her work & life fascinating & inspired by her use of repetitive pattern and colour. I once read an article how she would visualize patterns in her mind and then see them projected all around her. #embroideryart #art #stitchsky

For the day that's in it 💔. This is one of my favourite handstitched denim jackets I've made. An old one I found in a charity shop. My coat of many colours. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I have been doing some more work on my series of handstitched fabric patterns. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

Another in my series of hand-stitched fabric designs for cards. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I've been working on some new stitched designs for fabric printing & greeting cards. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I took some photos of my handstitched embroidery patterns & printed them on to greeting cards. The Gallery that my work is currently being shown at asked me if I had any available. I only did 3 designs, I may do more #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I have a couple of my pieces on display at the "Listen to the Land Speak" exhibition at Cnoc Bui Art Gallery, Union Hall, West Cork. A great turnout for the opening last night. Exhibition running till the 16th August. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

Another in my series of masks. I thought the monochrome would contrast well with my colourful hat. All handstitched on repurposed denim. 🤠👍 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I've been stitching masks again. Here's my study in green 💚 Repurposed denim, original design. T shirt is one of my original prints too. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

This is Ispíní beagîn a character I stitched for a friend of mine who writes fantasy fiction. An té nach gcuirfidh greim cuirfidh sé dhá ghreim #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

Masking There are many ways to look at masks. Tradition, ritualistic, disguise, fashion, masquerade, pandemic, pandemonium. I now find myself somewhere between Joseph Merrick & the Phantom of the Opera while I'd rather be Batman. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

A larger 6" version of my "Blue Wave" handstitched piece. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

A new "Procrastination Patch," inspired by the Solstice 💛

I've been making a few hand stitched embroidery sculptures for an upcoming exhibition. I call them my "Odd Ball," series the 4 elements, using recycled material I've been called an oddball all my life, I might as well embrace it 😊 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

This is my latest piece for a client who loves the beach & ocean and wanted a blue wave. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

It is June. I intend to do a series of hand stitched pieces to reflect "Pride Month," and celebrate diversity & identity. 🤠👍 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts #pridemonth

My latest “Procrastination Patch.” “Hydromancy.” This week, I've been attempting to dive into the depths of intuitive wisdom as it becomes harder for me to distinguish the facts from the fiction we are fed. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I've been having some of my hand embroidery work photographed for an upcoming exhibition. I particularly like this one of my jacket "The Well of Inspiration." #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I stitched a new skirt for Pinky 🩷 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

My Scrappy Happy Scroll. Made from cut-off bits of denim. This is a 6ft long piece for an exhibition layer this year. The original music is composed for this piece by my son Jimini #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I have been very remiss in my posting here, but I have also been busy sorting out some of my hand stitched pattern fabric pieces for an exhibition. This is a 4 ¼ piece I just finished. I was trying to go for a delicate Celtic vibe. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

An embroidered traditional Celtic Shield knot ised as a symbol of protection. I'm going back to my roots with this one. A design I have stitched periodically since I was a young boy. #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts

I made another print from my stitching. This one is for my wife as she said she'd like a new "Spring" table cloth for the kitchen table. "Colourful but nothing too crazy!" Was the brief 🤭 #embroideryart #craftiverse 🧶 #art #stitchsky #needlework #crafts
