The speaker for our June meeting at the Lytham St Annes Embroiderers Guild was the talented, friendly and very bubbly; Anne Brooke of H-anne-MADE.
Some of you may remember her from the 2014 NW Regional Day at Rochdale. While her talk had the same title and she still has her popular signature 'seed heads' in some pieces; her work has developed into other exciting and inspirational avenues. Take a look at some of the many she brought with her for us to view/touch etc.
A wonderful Dandelion in a beige, brown and cream colour scheme.
Paper, maps and simple hand embroidery stitches combine to create a floral piece in calming colourways.
Meet Tallulah :-) below
Love her red hair and purple outfit.
These fascinating wooden blocks have been coloured with Koh-i-noor dyes, collaged, painted and had holes drilled into them to allow for stitching.
A fluffy fibrous piece inspired by nature and bursting with texture.
The vessel above was what Anne called her 'triangular tower' and the green was more vibrant in real life but the colour got bleached out by the over head lighting. Still very lovely to look at even in this photo.
Here is a little peek of a wall hanging in a blue colourway. Have you spotted the large bobbin that is holding it up?
To see more of Anne's work 'stay tuned' for the next post :-) or if you cannot wait click here onto Anne's website or Facebook for all her latest doings (there is even a mention of the Halifax Embroiderer Guild).
