SANDRA DERRY
ARTIST, AUTHOR, ILLUSTRATOR AND CRAFTER
I AM A RURAL ARTIST PAINTING FROM THE PICTURES I TAKE WHILE OUT AND ABOUT THE COUNYTRSIDE. I WORK IN WATERCOLOUR, ACRYLIC AND INK.
I AM CURRENTLY WRITING A SERIES OF CHILDREN'S FARM BOOKS. TWO HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED'CURLY SHEEP'S BAD HAIR DAY' AND 'MOLLY MOO THE INDEPENDENT COW'. MORE SOON TO FOLLOW.
MY SEWING BOOK 'KNOW BEFORE YOU SEW' IS A THEORY BOOK ABOUT THE HABERDASHERY TOOLS, FABRIC AND MEASURING. IT WAS COMPILED FROM QUESTIONS ASKED OF ME WHEN GIVING SEWING TUITION. INFORMATION WHICH IS NOT SO READILY FOUND IN OTHER SEWING BOOKS.
THE TEXTILE CRAFT IS ALL INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE AND DESIGNED BY ME AND THE PRINTS ARE FROM MY ORIGINAL ARTWORK.
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you have enjoyed your visit!
Individually made hessian bags. Finished with French seams for strength and durability. Each bag has ribbon decoration and motif or dolly.
A beloved rusty old Nuffield tractor shows how it is still able to work at a Plough day at Strumpshaw in Norfolk. This watercolour painting was bought by the owner and driver seen in the picture.
