I'm an artist and maker from Wirral, UK. I'm a bit of a collector, and the collections often seem to find their way into my work... Many years ago I started working with textiles, then I discovered printmaking, and then I went on to complete an Applied Arts degree specialising in art. So these days my work might be in any one of these media, and often combines two or even all three.

And I make flowers using my collection of flower looms.

Thank you for looking at my photos - comments are welcome!

My main shop for my art work is here on Folksy, the site for modern British craft.

See more of my past projects together with events I am attending on my website.

I also have 2 shops on Etsy:

HelenSmithOriginals for handmade goods and art

ffflowers for my fabulous fake flowers, made from fabric, ribbon, upcycled plastic bags and anything else that looks promising.

And finally, a ffflowers shop on Folksy.
