Letter
I think it's safe to say that Sping is finally here and what better way to kick off the vintage and craft scene for 2015 than to step into The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia last week.
I was delighted meet up and coming embroidery artist, Charlotte Bailey from Hanging By A Thread. She calls herself a textile artist, and I have to admit, it appears to be an understatement. What makes her works stand out for me is the way she views the world. As you will see in the inset picture, she takes the most household objects you can think of and turns them into fun pieces of incredibly unique art.
She is currently finishing her masters in Textiles and hopes to freelance herself in future projects across the spectrum. She is a bright, sparkly girl with a huge amount of passiona and personality.
It is not often I like to speak of an individual in my opening letter with such intent, but I feel that Charlotte desrves to have a place in my letter. Her work spells out a message. There is a deeper, more personal side to this young artist which I believe forces the rest of us to rethink the philosophy that sometimes, we find not only our vocation but our calling....
