Creative Art

Using pencil, pen and needle to create art

In 2016 I started my Bayeux Tapestry replica project and quickly realised how much I enjoy this style of art work. Recreating an embroidered tapestry meant transferring the images and after plenty of practice of drawing the designs on my fabric, I branched out to draw them for other people to embroider as well. Until I have completed my full-scale replica, I won't take any embroidery or drawing commissions, but I have a waiting list to pick up when I'm ready to start working on side projects again.

​

I have created five colouring books in Bayeux-style: Mia's Bayeux Tapestry Colouring Book, Bayeux Behind the Scenes, Mia's Bayeux Fantasy Colouring Book, Special Occasions and Sport & Leisure, the last two books featuring the three kings from the Bayeux Tapestry. My latest book, Embroider the Bayeux Tapestry, contains full-scale iron-on patterns for you to embroider. It's published by Search Press. For more information, please pop along to 'Book of the Season', where you can find links to their website.

​

By now, there is also a series of Mia's Bayeux Tapestry Musings, an in-depth study of my Bayeux Tapestry replica project. So far, seven parts have been published. These can be purchased on Amazon via the links below.

Outside the Bayeux Tapestry project, I write and illustrate tales and fairy tales, some of which are custom-made for the young ones in our family.

Who knows what else the future will bring?

I couldn't do all the literary work on my own. One of my fabulous editors and proofreader happens to be a great friend, writer and famous harpist. Why not check out her website?https://www.amykortuem.com/
