All my creations are unique pieces, entirely made by hand. I first draw my patterns on my canvases, apply the paint, then do the embroidery.
The fabrics and paintings that I use come from recovery: found in garage sales, in recycling centers... or even "upcycled" (old clothes or linens). They are washed, cut, ironed.
