Semco Stitchery

If you're interested in vintage embroidery, you'll recognise Semco as a long time supplier of craft kits. I think they started in 1915. This ephemera from Jeanette's Work Box (in Melbourne I think) dated from the 1960s and it deserved to come out of someone's files of 'stuff' and tell a story. Edges of canvas painted white. I haven't applied gloss or varnish to the unpainted paper.

Artist Statement
After painting as a full time artist for the past 15 years, I've decided to cut back in order to explore other things that pique my interest. I will continue to post occasional new works here, however with the increased costs of commission, materials etc, my more affordable works unfortunately aren't financially worth listing here on Bluethumb. For similar reasons, I am no longer accepting commissions. My apologies.
