Custom embroidered motorbike artwork.

I have recently been asked to create this custom motorbike embroidery for an Etsy customer.
Using a personalised number plate of the recipients initials and date of birth.
I really enjoyed doing this and think it will make a wonderful gift.
I can get these pieces dry mounted and framed, or sent unframed like this one (the customer lives in America and wanted to save on postage).

Please see my framed Mini cooper for how this kind of embroidery looks framed.

Any of my car illustrations can be interpreted into embroideries and personalised.
Please get in touch if you would like any bespoke embroideries, I am totally flexible and can tailor any of my artworks to your requirements.

Where The Lost Things Go - Tom Bell

Where The Lost Things Go - by Tom Bell

This is a children's picture book my boyfriend has just had published which is now available to buy in Hardback and Paperback.

This is the synopsis from the book...

Have you ever lost a sock? One minute it might be swirling around inside the washing machine, and the next…it's gone! But even if it was your favourite sock, there are always plenty of others in the drawer. But have you ever lost a toy> Maybe it was your favourite toy. It's often the favourite toys, isn't it? And favourite toys can't easily be replaced… So, where do the lost things go?

There are 6 characters in the book, they are all individual with their own personalities, this book introduces you to them and their magical world at the bottom of the garden and takes you on an adventure as they collect and give a home to lost things.

I won't give too much away about the story, but I think the book is lovely and the illustrations are amazing. 

(but I may be biased!).

 Tom is currently having an exhibition of his paintings from the book which are oil paintings at The Harley Gallery in Welbeck, Nottinghamshire.

See here for The Harley Gallery website.

He is having a book signing at the gallery on the 5th of February where you can buy the book and meet Tom to sign your copy. There are also colouring sheets for the kids to colour and a video showing how Tom draws the characters.

Front page!

I was recently featured in a treasury that made it to the front page, it made my viewings go up massively so I'm really pleased, I seem to have some new followers and most importantly more sales.

My growing collection of work.

Etsy autumnal loveliness

Embroidery hoop - Mini Cooper

My first embroidery hoop. This is an 8" embroidery hoop artwork piece, the mini cooper is machine embroidered onto oatmeal linen, with patches of appliques, hand embroidery and 2 little mother of pearl buttons.

Cushions!

I've made my cushions. I've been wanting to translate my drawings into textiles for some time and finally got enough time in my week off to do it, I made 4 cushions, using my Citroen 2CV, Ferrari, VW camper van and Mini cooper illustrations. I think I love the Ferrari and 2CV best.
They are all now for sale in my Etsy or Folksy shop.

New car illustrations

I have taken a week off from the day job specifically to add some more of my own work to my Etsy & Folksy shop. I've been doing some new drawings and some sewing! But here are the illustrations first.

Citroen 2CV

 Ferrari 250 GT

 Jaguar E-Type

 VW Camper Van

I will post some photos of my sewing soon, hopefully i'll have a couple of cushions to show and an embroidery hoop framed piece.

New textile art for Etsy shop

I've done 3 textile pictures using the illustrations of my Mini, Beetle and Fiat 500, I have machine embroidered them over patches of appliques and then added in some stitch work in coloured embroidery threads. These have been framed in bespoke solid oak frames, with snow white mounts, and I think they look really nice, I especially like the Mini cooper.

Fiat 500 new artwork

This can now be found in my Etsy shop and my Folksy shop.
