I have decided it is time to part ways with some of my older work. These pieces have adorned the walls of my little studio for the last few years now - I have never been able to entertain the thought of letting them go! - however I have decided it is time to part ways with some of my older work to not only make way for newer pieces but also I think it is time for me to wrestle with my hoarding tendencies! My tiny little studio is bursting with upcoming work and exhibition pieces, materials and my never ending collection of trinkets and I have decided it is time to let these little critters out and about into the world and give others the chance to enjoy them!
These little critters were some of the first pieces of Stitch and Bone and because of this they are priced differently to my current pieces. Every piece I make is made using the amalgamation of traditional stumpwork embroidery along with techniques and methods I have devised during my years making these little critters and these pieces were integral to finding my creation process for my art. Unlike my current work which is framed in Tasmanian oak shadow box frames with anti-reflective Artglass, these little critters are housed in reclaimed Tasmanian oak shadow box frames (with varying stains) with framing quality UV Perspex - my old style of framing.
These pieces are beautiful and vibrant and have been priced at a cheaper price point than my current work. I absolutely adore these pieces - hence why I have held onto them for so long! - but because they are my older work and the cost of materials, framing and construction time for these pieces are not as high as my current pieces I have adjusted prices accordingly. It should be noted that these pieces are not as ‘detailed’ as my current work. The legs in many of my pieces are not as detailed in design and my current works include metal threads and materials that were not available to my older pieces. There is also no engraved brass label on the side of the frame. It should also be noted that due to the handmade nature of these frames and the use of reclaimed timber there may be some bumps/scratches/dips/marks in the timber - in my opinion this adds to the charm and look of the artwork! There may also be the presence of small imperfections in the perspex glass.
Once these pieces are gone that is it in regards to selling my older pieces. There will be no more of my work at these prices!
These pieces have been photographed beautifully and all effort has been taken to capture them as accurately as possible.
