Aileen Clarke Crafts is a small cottage industry run from my home in rural Fife in Scotland. I make a wide range of textile art cards, textile wall art, jewellery and other pieces. I enjoy working with shimmering and iridescent fabrics using a heat process to make collage seascapes and landscapes. I also use wet felting and needle felting techniques combined with stitch to produce unique fabrics for cards, jewellery and decorative pieces.
Much of my inspiration comes from my love of rural Scotland and the west coasts and islands of Scotland and Ireland. I also have a passion for texture and colour and often collect hand spun, hand dyed yarns on my travels to include in my work. I also try to reuse old clothing where possible. Denim, tweed, cotton and woolly jumpers are often put to good use as background pieces or backing fabrics.
