Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Sylvie, a belated birthday trip at the Craft for Crafters show, Westpoint. There was so much to see, we ambled up and down the aisles for hours. One of the prettiest stands was Hollyberrie Studios, where we met the lovely Pauline Spence.

Originally a water colour artist, she now has a passion for textiles and embroidery. Her work is incredibly intricate, some fantasy based.

This fairytale castle had so much detail, I didn’t know where to look, every little girls dream!

Here’s a closer look, but I only had my i phone.

This piece all folds away into the box, dragon and all.

Pauline’s work has won national competitions and been featured in magazines. She has City and Guilds  teaching certificates and loves to run workshops, sadly I wouldn’t have the patience or even the basic skills, but she can be contacted if you search for hollyberrie studios.

This four seasons clock was both Sylvie and my favourite.
