bespoke birthday cards

65th birthday card
This bespoke birthday card was commissioned by a long-standing client for her friend Alison's 65th birthday. It's a large-format signed A4 hand-made card created as a one-off piece ideal for framing. Doreen asked me to include elements which Alison is interested in; Robert Burns, Shakespeare, and classical music. The central harp & musical notes are screen-printed with metallic inks on hand-made papers elements, the areas of collage brought together with free-hand machine embroidery. My favourite quote is the 'wee timorous beasties'!
