About Silk Pixie

My Grandmother
a great lace and dressmaker

I have been enthralled by thread for 50 years and besotted by beads for 40!

Based in Cheshire, England, for inspiration I have virtually travelled on the Silk Road from Macclesfield to the Middle and Far East, for silkwork and Moorish designs.

I also physically travelled in the other direction to the Scottish lowlands and lochs, finding Cashmere along the way.

I have captured Mackintosh and Mucha in resin and cute characters in needle felted fibre.

The roses of my wayside are crafted in ribbon while gems, Czech crystal and Venetian glass are caught in our threads and wires.

Stitchery is in my blood, while others of my family have gone along the practical route of dress-making, knitting and crochet, I've been inspired by the more decorative needle-lace, freestyle embroidery, ribbonwork and netting.

I've been sewing since the 1970s launched my first website in 1998 and the Silk Pixie site in 2008.
