My Bio

I'm Rachel, a textiles artist from the southwest of England.

I love using recycled materials to create one-of-a-kind:
textiles art pieces,
handbags,
and figurines
which I embroider, layer, melt, and bead.

I also love felting, knitting, and spinning and I'm just getting into freeform crochet.
