Inspiration: Dog-Daisy Chains

March 2, 2011 by Denise Felton 4 Comments

This “little hand-sized silk purse” takes my breath away. It’s the work of Jackie of Dog-Daisy Chains, whose embroidered velvet brooches give me tears every time she posts photos. And now: little reticules that look like blooms. Gorgeous. See photos of several other versions at Jackie’s blog post.

    As a Canadian who lived in what was the Lancashire and travelled the Dales and Lake District for almost three years, your site thrilled me. Daffodils are especially fond memories of March in England. Unfortunately it will be May before we see them. I am a recently at home (health) crafter who seems to have lost direction. Your work overwhelms me with it’s beauty. I’ll come back often for inspiration, pictures to warm my heart with wonderful memories and pure joy that your pictures and stories evoked. I’m also about the same age so your comments about the book were well received. Keep it up! I for one am glad I found you.
