Original artwork description:

bold woodpeckers, making the forest come alive.
a piece of sand colored canvas fabric is my background, I have free motion embroidered on my woodpecker and greenery + all my own hand painted flowers to make my gorgeous linocut collage, colourful, country rustic style
First I make the composition, using all my own fabrics, printed with my linocuts and then I have free motion embroidered extensively over the entire piece on my sewing machine, just this part of the process takes me several hours. When I am all done, I add backing to the piece.
As it is freehand embroidery it has a drawing quality to it. The textile adds warmth to any space, and I just love making these, imagination can run riot and a textile art piece has so much depth and richness to it.

The piece measures 75 cm x 42 cm ( 29" x 16")
I do intend for these pieces to be framed, there is enough textile to have a nice surround and the textile pieces I make are impactful enough to be able to go big, to make a statement piece!
I have signed the artwork in stitch on the front and it comes with a certificate of authenticity. The artwork is sold unframed.

I ship from my studio in the south of Denmark, all my pieces are packed with many years experience to make sure they arrive safely (see my many reviews).

If you have any questions at all, just get in touch!
