19.01.2022 The beauty of making portraits, much like writing profiles, is that it’s a chance to really think about and honour the person you are depicting. This is what Emily Jo Gibbs loved about embroidering her first portrait, which was of her son Fred. She then created a portrait of her other son, Bill, which led to an ongoing series of portraits. This talented British textile artist uses tiny, tiny stitches, a soft colour palette and delicate layers of organza and linen to create her intricate artworks. When it comes to Emily, there’s much to admire and write about. Homespun is available from craft shops and newsagents Australia wide, or digitally through Zinio, Google Play or the Apple Newsstand.
