I love making. In the past I have dipped my toe in the world of sewing, knitting, cross stich, printmaking, calligraphy, paper craft, toy making, weaving and even stone carving. Clearly stone carving is not the most efficient craft to sell on Etsy - postage wise - so I chose to focus on cross stitch.

I love the challenge of taking detailed images of birds and other animals and reducing them to a few pixels of cross stitch. I love that in a 20 x 20 canvas you can create a remarkably accurate image.

Alongside cross stitch you will find some printed products. I produce print in my professional life for a national UK museum but this is my personal output and is probably my longest standing craft passion.

I live and produce in Brixton and you will usually find me in the parks of south London with my two young children. You can see what we are up to at instagram.com/hintyprint
