About me
|
Hello and welcome to Zoe Gibbons! I’m a |
mixed-media artist – creating designs on my vintage sewing machine – which are then translated into laser cut or combined with watercolour and textiles to create original, quirky pictures, cards, stationary & home wares. Freehand machine embroidery gives the designs an organic fluidity. Items are handmade to order and beautiful personalised using details provided by the customer. |
My business (accidentally) started 6 years ago when I had 2 young children and a local cafe advertised for artists to display their work. I needed a creative outlet so I started making handmade embroidered cards and pictures. |
A lot of my inspiration comes from the natural environment - trees, paper and texture please me and I'm happiest out and about collecting & sketching visual ideas.|
I work from a lovely studio in Bristol, UK. I sell online and in Bristol shops. I welcome new ideas, questions and commissions – often the best inspirations have come from customer requests! |
After developing a special gift for my sister's wedding I now also offer laser cut wedding day items including alternative drop top guest books and table styling.
