Moira Third

visual art & embroidery

“My stitched work is made firstly by painting on canvas before layering with millions of tiny stitches. I use only straight stitch and just the needle and a profusion of richly coloured thread, guided by hand on my domestic sewing machine. The background painting can be glimpsed at times through the thread, but it’s totality will remain hidden.”

 

Here at Alchemist we love Moira’s delightful painted and stitched works, as do our customers, and we have a regularly changing selection of beautiful original pieces for sale.
