Jane’s first book is a beautifully balanced combination of text and textile pieces. Her imagination is that of a child entranced by fairies and fantasy; her embroidery is that of an adult - intimate, meticulous, reflective - touched by nature’s loveliness.

Jane catches the poetic dance of flora and fauna transforming them with skilful fingers into small embroideries, yet keeping the dimension, space and freedom vital to her subject.

Silks, chiffons, wire, pressed flowers, iridescent dyes, metallic threads and various fragile materials allow the butterflies, insects, flowers and leaves to sing with vibrant life. This is a book to treasure, a land of enchanted dreams and a terrific source of inspiration.
