sarah appleton Textile Design BA Hons Arts University Bournemouth
specialisms: textiles: fashion & innovation, textile art, illustration |
| Specialising in hand embroidery, embellishment and machine stitch for fashion accessories, Sarah's illustrative style invokes surrealism and reflects her whimsical personality. Inspired by everything from science fiction films to music and animals, her work is truly unique, simultaneously traditional and refreshingly unfamiliar. Blurring the lines of craft, editorial fashion, illustration, folk costume and fine art, Sarah's work juxtaposes textures, often incorporating unconventional materials and regenerating the use of established materials and techniques. Available for freelance work and bespoke commissions. |

Pennies from Heaven
This sample is made of a synthetic wool-like material, foiled using the brown and copper foiled with a penny motif.
Using a heat press it was then fused to a translucent plastic with holes cut into it, so that the under layer is visible in places, creating a multi-textural effect.
