Hand-made textile art
Welcome to Ruth O'Leary's textile art site, showcasing her work as
an embroiderer
Ruth specialises in producing stunning hand-embroidered pieces, from
large, bold panels to small, detailed pictures, though she also produces
striking free machine embroidered
panels and vessels.
She is particularly known for 3D pieces,
especially in goldwork embroidery, but
also including hand-made slip
cases for books, each one uniquely tailored to the book it contains.
Ruth is skilled at designing for embroidery, and works from her own
designs; she is happy to make individual pieces to commission and
welcomes working with a client.
Read Ruth's blog!
Ruth now has a blog, where you can follow her as she works on her most recent pieces, complete with lots of photos of work in progress and plenty of hints and tips. Find out more at rutholearytextileart.blogspot.com
