DragonLadyDesigns is a small textile art and craft business based in South Ronaldsay.
I work with mixed media, combining dyed and painted fabrics with fleece and felt, embellished by hand and machine embroidery, couching, quilting and beading. I often incorporate found objects in my pieces such as shells, driftwood and sea-glass collected on the local beaches.
I particularly like working out my own designs for pictures and wall-hangings, and the Celtic, Pictish and Viking heritage of Scotland in general and Orkney in particular regularly feature in my work.
As well as the art pieces I enjoy working with fabric and yarn using knitting, crochet, felting, small-scale weaving, sewing and embroidery, to make more practical articles. Amongst my products are:
- .......... greetings cards with embroidered motifs,
- .......... beaded and embroidered jewellery
- .......... jewellery/trinket boxes,
- .......... bags and holdalls,
- .......... patchwork and appliqué quilts & cushions
- .......... rag dolls, art dolls and other toys.
