Threaded boxes
A couple of little boxes with hand chased threads. The boxes are turned from English boxwood. Used to make instruments amongst other things this is a beautiful dense timber that carves well and will therefore take a good thread. Michael also uses the boxwood to turn the ‘Petrospheres’. Enamel has been added to one of the lids.
Fragment panel
The client had a library room where this small window looked out onto a wall.
Using fragments of painted glass from old panels this panel adds interest to the area.

Beat Boxes
I’ve been working a lot with bargello stitching in 2017 and have produced some fantastic products that use the stitching in different ways. I will be running workshops using this stitch throughout 2018.
