Passionflower
If ever there was a flower that asked to be made into an embroidery, it is the passionflower. Making this print took me on quite a journey. After weeks of working on the print, I ruined the print in the most ridiculous way and had to start again. To hear the whole story, visit the blog here.

“The real work of this life is not what we do every day from 9-5…The real work is to be passionate, be holy, be wild, be irreverent, to laugh and cry until you awaken the sleeping spirits, until the ground of your being cleaves and the universe comes flooding in.”
