The Victorian Velvet Coat Project ||

I've been working on recreating a beautiful embroidered antique velvet coat since December 2021 so that it can be worn again.

It's easy to forget that creative projects take longer than a TikTok to complete. Making something takes work that no-one sees. The time your project is taking is ok. I just like to take things to extremes to make my point.

Please don't send parcels - the fees to have them imported/forwarded to me are expensive! Contact me first if it's something special or important.

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who has sent something to me. It is deeply valuable to read your words in your own handwriting and hold them in my hands. It helps me to connect to who you really are, and what you really need from me. I read, enjoy and treasure every one. Thank you.
