i love using found objects on my textile art pieces – including nails (in this case, vintage handmade copper ones)

other additions include plastic milk bottle rings inside the little gathered silk yo yos, a broken ring, the inside of a broken clothes peg and some old leather buttons

anything is fair game if it can be stitched on or into

after some soul-searching, i’ve also decided to offer it for sale
