Seascapes

The Seascapes Collection is a growing and evolving hand embroidery art collection. Made using real sea shells collected from the UK and incorporated with embroidery. Using stump work and threadpainting techniques to create dynamic art pieces that capture the essence of the sea that fits in the palm of your hand.

In this collection you’ll find a range of smaller pieces approximately 3 inches and some gradually larger upto 7 inch pieces. The range includes freestanding pieces that are more sculptural as well as hooped art pieces that can be displayed on the wall. Colours range from classic blues to sunsets and changes depending on what I stitch at the time. 

The inspiration for this series came from a visit to a beach in wales, one I visited many times as a child. I had collected shells first, such a massive variety, the colours, textures and all from this one place. I was surrounded  by inspiration and I had so much curiosity to explore and see what this beach and nature had to offer.

To work with these and stitch them hadn’t even crossed my mind at this point, I didn’t collect the shells with ideas in mind and pieces planned. It wasn’t until I got home that the idea came. I poured out and explored the shells and the idea sparked, I spent hours on the first piece and didn’t share it for months after it was completed. After I eventually shared the piece it was then I started to expand and develop the collection and stitch with a huge variety of shells.

In 2026 I will be exploring on a larger scale while continuing to explore textures, stitches and the 3D shapes of the waves! I hope to explore stories within the pieces and incorporate contrasting shells and shapes in hoops and out.

This is where the experimental shell kit came from, I had so much interest and attention from people wanting to stitch with shells. This was an easy way for me to share this idea without it being too technical. I will be sharing in more depth this technique in the future, either in kit form or in another!
