Love in Idleness

My name is Victoria Matthewson and I am a self taught embroidery artist. I moved to Monmouthshire in 2005 and live in a small village with my husband and two girls. Inspired by the surrounding wildlife I base my designs on photographs I have taken and then embroider each piece in miniature using fine floss silk thread.

The technique I use is a combination of needle painting and my own freestyle. Each design takes many painstaking hours to complete using the smallest needles and a magnifying lamp to help with the tiny stitches.

My work includes framed art and embroidered jewellery.

Examples of my work and photography can be seen on my website: website link
