The Wren- Mounted Embroidery and Textile Collage

This wren is one of my most popular embroidery designs, created using layered textile collage and detailed machine embroidery. The style has a gentle echo of old natural‑history studies — a little reminiscent of Bewick’s bird illustrations — giving the piece a timeless, quietly nostalgic feel.

Each artwork is made individually, so while the design is familiar, no two wrens are ever quite the same. Every piece has its own character, shaped by the fabrics and textures chosen for that particular bird.

The artwork is double mounted and ready to frame, making it an easy and thoughtful gift for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys unique handmade pieces inspired by British wildlife.

Made with a mix of reclaimed and new fabrics, it brings warmth, texture and a touch of heritage charm to cottage‑style or nature‑inspired interiors.
