The Honest Eye, original embroidered appliqué textile

From my “Stitchy Pets Collection” the original textile art.

I have also these reproduced into limited edition prints, cards and notebooks.

I created “The Honest Eye” after a dear friend of mine sadly lost her beautiful Clydesdale, Hero, he was only 8 years old. Horses have the most honest eyes, add a Clydesdale to the mix and it’s the window to the biggest heart, they are true gentle giants. I donated prints, cards and notebooks to the Art for Hero fundraiser, 50% of the sale of this piece will also be donated to the cause. His vets bills spiralled beyond his insurance cover, so a few of us are trying to help, any left over funds will be donated to the Grass Sickness In Horses Charity.

The original artwork is a multi media textile piece, made from layering fabrics, stitching their shapes, trimming the excess until all layers are in place, I then stitch out the top layer of outlines and details and finish with fabric paints. The full image is stitched onto layers of sandwiched stabiliser, batting and canvas, to bring some dimension to the piece. This piece is mounted and unframed
