Artist Tina Crawford uses the needle of the sewing machine as her tool to draw with no prep or markings, once the point goes in to the paper or fabric the mark is made. “I embrace the mistakes and wobbles, it’s what gives my illustrations charm and honesty” With Thread Drawn by Tobyboo, Tina can create a unique bespoke collection individually designed for you. Clients include: St Paul’s Cathedral Kew Gardens Museum of London Sir John Soane Museum Oxford Limited. “I have been a supplier for House of Fraser and John Lewis creating collections for the giants on the high street but I made a decision to leave that behind me and concentrate on the museum/heritage retail market. As a regular shopper within the market I thrive on creating something that a visitor would only see in your shop not a variation on the place they’ve been before”
