A commission I made for a client in 2021. It was fun working with the negative space of the letters, and trying out some different techniques for the flowers. And working with a more monochromatic colour palette.

Posting some of my older work here.
This is an embroidered wall hanging of symbols from the classic Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot I worked on in 2018-2019 for Stitchtober.

My last prints (probably) ever that I'll make at the School of Art! I've spent 4 years printmaking, and it definitely hadn't always been easy, but all miss the long days and late nights of printing and making paper. I've learned so much in this studio and I'm glad I've gotten to spend as much time there as I have. #flatlandpress
