Silken Threads
Those who know me know that I have a love of thread and the endless possibilities that it affords; from holding your garments together to the most amazing fiber arts.
So it comes as no surprise that I love the thready poetry woven by the fabulous Sheila Hicks. I will let the images speak for themselves!




Sheila Hicks has been a pioneer in the fiber arts for over 50 years, spending each of those glorious years surrounded by cones of thread!

If you are a lover of all things threads and embroidery keep an eye on the NEW ARRIVALS section of the website for the latest leather embroidered pieces.
